I installed TWS 960.2g which is available on the NinjaTrader website and the load times are fast and as good as I remember them being. But of course, it's an older GUI with many minor features missing.

I tried the Offline TWS (964.1e). The time from launch to the login screen is only 4 secs now (previously 11-12 secs) but the time from the Login button to a fully populated TWS is not much better at 38 secs. Doesn't matter if I deselect "Use/store settings on server". Also as I launch TWS, I'm...

Sorry, I got it backwards: 7mb download and 1.7mb upload. I have 8GB ram and the max TWS uses is about 1gb. No background apps while using TWS. IB did recommend to try the Offline version of TWS. I'll give that a try when I have more time.

How to do explain the fact that this same bandwith loaded TWS fast a year ago? I cannot imagine the software's system requirements becoming that much more demanding. The other person here said the he's running the same exact software on two different machines with similar specs with fast...

Thanks. My internet speeds are not that great but they are the same as last year as my PC is the same also, and the TWS at the time loaded fast. Ping is 14ms. Upload is over 7MB and download is over 1.7MB. Maybe I need to splurge for greater bandwidth? I'd really hate to give Comcast MORE of my...

I uninstalled both Java (and all of the garbage it left behind and in the registry) and TWS and installed only TWS(latest) and it installed Java on the fly. From what I read, TWS installs a proprietary version of Java. My launch times are about the same. At first I thought it were faster but...

Thanks gentlemen. Possibly it's the Java? Can't be if Ryan has the same Java on both machines. I just updated my JRE from 8u121 to 8u131. Didn't make a damn bit of difference. When I have more time, I'm going to install the Java I had a year ago when I used TWS which was version 8u73. If that...

OK. Cool. Are the TWS versions the same? What about the Java versions? Thx.

Thank you for the information. Does your home PC have an SSD? Do you know the specs of your office PC? Like I said a few posts back, I used TWS about a year ago using the same exact well maintained PC (AMD A10-5700 3.4 ghz quad core with 8gb ram) and same internet speeds and the load times...

Thanks. I used the link on the IB page which took me to the JRE (Java Runetime Environment) software. I don't have JVM installed. Since I do not see any evidence of JRE loading in task manager or anywhere with TWS, I was wondering if it was installed correctly. It installed smoothly and TWS does...

Thanks so much. I know my AMD is slower. A new PC is very low on the list right now for me. A SSD is attainable!!

I originally installed 963.3d and it IMMEDIATELY updated to 963.3e. Didn't have a chance to look at 963.3d. Today, the first day I tried TWS, I had about 3-4 connection losses. Also I noticed under Portfolio, my full balance is not listed, but it's confirmed elsewhere. Strange. Right now there's...

Yes. Internet speed matters; good point. Thanks for your help. My first step is to buy a SSD. I would like to hear from others as well regarding the times to launch TWS. Thx.

OK. Thanks. Then it sounds about in proportion to PC specs. Not ready for a new PC but would an SSD make a big enough difference?

Just installed this app today. Not sure if this is the place to ask, but how many seconds does it take to get to the TWS login screen from launch and how many seconds from "login" to a fully loaded gui? Mine is about 12 seconds to the login screen and another 40 seconds from "Login" to a fully...

Thanks for confirming.

Here, I'm seeing the US Equity and Options Add-On Streaming Bundle for $4.50 (which includes NYSE (Network A/CTA), AMEX (Network B/CTA), NASDAQ(Network C/UTP), and OPRA(US Options)) according to footnote 25 but the requirement to get this is you must subscribe to the "US Securities Snapshot and...
