Correct, TWS 903.4 does not work with IBController, because the login button is disabled by default. I have built a pretty awful workaround that fixes this problem. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TWSAPI/files/Auto%20Login%20Codes/ --> ibc_slimmed_tws_903.4.zip Since I have always...

It seems that setting m_overridePercentageConstraints=true; resolves the problem. I have not had any order transmission issues this week.

Maybe you are right (at least restarting TWS). Meanwhile I have talked to an IB rep on the phone and he told me that keeping TWS running during server reset may cause the issue, another idea was to set: order.m_overridePercentageConstraints = true; Since the first order is not rejected...

First of all thanks your help. Any comments are welcome. My application uses the Java API (version 9.60). I do set the following order-fields: Contract contract = new Contract(); contract.m_symbol = future.getCode(); contract.m_currency = "USD"; contract.m_secType...

From time to time (1-2 a week) my application's first order is rejected with the following reason: Error: id=3033, code=322, Error processing request:-'ub' : cause - jextend.ub.f(ub.java:1152) tws.log says: GQ 09:29:09:377 JTS-EServerSocket-29: [1:42:44:1:0:0:0: DET] Started reading...

Correct, filled orders did not update any positions - does not matter if the position has been open or flat. I have created a trouble-ticket concerning this issue. Let's see what's IB's response. Restarting TWS after the daily reset has not been necessary in the past, and I hope this will not...

Hi all, the last 2 trading sessions I did not receive any execDetails() for the first orders of the day. Even TWS did not show the correct fills and positions. Restarting TWS fixed the problem. Anyone else experiencing these problems? best regards, tron_at ps: I have already posted...

In fact TWS is becoming less reliable with the most recent versions. Starting a few weeks ago my first API order of the day is simply ignored - it does not pop up in the TWS, no entry in the log files, nothing. I have not been able to reproduce this error, as it happens about once in two...

Trend following strategies have typical winners / losers ratio below 50%. I know well performing systems with only 40% winning trades. Scalping strategies can have 70%-80% winners, because of a very tight profit target. In order to judge profitablity of a strategy winners / losers ratio alone...

What about compiling release instead of debug and "statically linking MFC" (see project options tab)? IMO you should not need any redistribution packages. But in case of .NET the client computer must have installed the correct version of the framework anyway. regards, tron_at

Switzerland is not tax free, however, their rates are very competitive.

Same here in Austria! I guess I need a backup broker.
