I think there are a few to many IB help problems on ET, but in general I think it works out well. There are currently IB threads on both Silicon Investor and Yahoo, and they're far less active. I think that people tend to migrate to the venue where there's the most activity. For IB traders...

Def, One improvement that I'd love to see, and I can't remember if it's already been suggested, is a reserve feature where you could put in an order to sell for example 5000 shares, but show only 500 shares at a time time til the order's completed. Is this being considered? Thanks, 99

Just installed the new standalone TWS 721a. The new Account info page looks great. And it resizes perfectly. The Positions and the portfolio on the main page also are really nice. Thanks IB...keep these nice changes coming :D 99

Def, Any idea when the new TWS is gonna be available in the standalone version? I tried to update my software and it looks like it's not yet available. Thanks, 99

I use Tradelog as well. Here's the link: http://www.armencomp.com/

Def, There's a possible bug in TWS 712a. When I try to "Delete Row" that's the very last row on a completely full page, it won't let me. I can delete rows above, but not the last one for some reason, even when I've deleted tickers so that the page is no longer full. I've been able to...

Def, I just wanna make a clarification to my prior post where I said: "The new version gives us the ability to reorder our TWS pages. You're supposed to click on the page and drag it to where you want it to go. This doesn't seem to be working right, as when I move one page to another...

I just downloaded the most recent TWS beta and have some comments on some of the new features: 1. The new version gives us the ability to reorder our TWS pages. You're supposed to click on the page and drag it to where you want it to go. This doesn't seem to be working right, as when I...

I agree. Cyber is too expensive. I used Cybertrader for awhile and you get alot of bells an whistles but not nearly enough substance for what you pay for. The charting is very weak and not nearly as flexible as many other systems. I found it to be a major disappointment.

Def, A recent TWS version gave us the ability to print out our executed orders which was appreciated. I'd like to also be able to do that for pending orders. Any chance of that? Thanks, 99

High resolution flat panel monitors seem to be easier on the eyes, at least that's what I've found. 99

Dawnrazor-- Re your comments: "If you want something similar to RealTick, why not use RealTick in the first place? I don't want IB to become yet another mediocre jack-of-all-trades broker, but rather remain an efficient and reliable order entry platform. BTW, all day traders I know...

I don't need alot of bells and whistles, I already have those in other packages. But i would like to be able to type in a symbol, bring up a L2 type box, click on a price and transmit for on the fly trades, based on preset trade size and route---similar to Real Tick. I'd also like to have...

Got an interesting email from IB today with a survey attached. It says: "Interactive Brokers is considering delivering additional services such as Level II quotes and charts. We ask that you help guide our priorities by completing a brief three question survey." Can't wait to hear about...

I don't mind the separate page for account balance, it's just that it can't be resized without losing information. Hopefully they're working on that.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the exception. Every ACAT transfer I've ever done (and there have been many) has taken a couple of weeks. DTC delivery takes up to 3 days (sometimes as little as one day!) However, even with the ACAT transfer, it is progress. :) 99

Def, good to know that IB is finally accepting Stock. However, I believe the timing that you suggest is off. If you facilitate stock transfers through DTC delivery it takes 2-3 days. (DTC delivery is only for stock, not for cash). But if you have your entire account transferred (I think...

A default setting for destination routing is not what I had in mind. I don't think that goes far enough. I would love to see an entry box at the top of the TWS display where you could enter a symbol, and it brings up a market depth box, from which you could enter an order with it showing up...

Actually, if done right, I could see getting rid of most of the pages I now have with preset routes on them. I have tons of pages, and because there's no way to keep them sorted in an orderly way, sometimes it's hard to find what I'm looking for if I want to trade fast. An 'on the fly' order...
