As for the the ticketing system not working a picture showing that is useless... The drop-downs simply aren't working You coulda seen yourself if you just went to the website.

IB is just a mess...On main page say they're overwhelmed with inquiries. Probably because their system fell apart on those volatile days...I know it screwed me on a trade. But no you can't even create new tickets. You need to label a category and topic before submitting ticket but you...

TWS Data feed sucks...I've said it numerous times before in posts...complained to IB...Showed screen grabs of charts that are slow or fail to load at all. They dont care.

If you want to do it all in one order...the initiating the position and the stops and profit taking order then yes... you can do it with a hotkey and you can have those order set with predefined dollar or percentage amounts. Look into the hotkey editor. Its right there on how to do it. Did...

No, You cant place a bracket order (or OCA order as IB calls it) on an already existing order with a hotkey. You can place a the stop and profit taking orders at the SAME TIME as the initial order that opened the position as a hotkey. But if say you're already short a stock...and you then...

My arch nemesis.... We meet again

OP is an idiot...dont expect more

I'm just getting the usual charts slow/failing to load.... But thats par for the course

Really dude? You replied to an almost week old thread to answer "I dont know" lol

Im sure this guy has TOS open too because IB doesn't have an opening or closing bell

It's WeBull It's honestly one of the best mobile apps. I don't use the brokerage though. Just use it to monitor stocks

Most of the issues I have with TWS aren't actually TWS but more the data feed issues and how their servers feed TWS information. Lately for me charts taking forever to populate

IB sucks for data feed/speed. This doesn't surprise me.

They'll introduce a dozen new features nobody asked for and meanwhile ignore glaring issues that have been pointed out to them for years

I keep telling people...its not a hardware or internet speed issue...Its a TWS and data feed issue. Id post a video here to show it in action but whats the point...nobody here can fix anything and IB doesn't seem to care.

The coding is the same. It runs on Java within a Java virtual machine

But you were using IB's data feed for those programs no? If you were it shows it's an IB server side thing

Wrong...TWS is ram limited. Doesn't matter if you have 16gb or 128gb...its the same to TWS because the limits are hard coded. Just ask support and they'll tell you the same thing. Its a limitation of Java and the virtual machine TWS runs in.

Its all a distraction though because nothing I could possibly do to my config file should cause what I showed in the image.

The point of whats being talked about is to wipe and reset your config file in case its whats bogging down and messing up your system. Which by the way SHOULDN'T be possible. But anyways, to do that means wiping everything and rebuilding your configruation and hotkeys from scratch.
