Still not working from Australia. Just tried 3 times (different ways). Once the api is called its locked up dead.

Tell them that I said it wasn't and that I have PM'd def. The customer service chat application is down/overloaded. So refer them to this thread and tell them from all of us to pull finger NOW. The api is causing all versions of tws to screw up and lock up...

Has anyone told customer support yet?

That would quickly resolve the issue: should I buy this one? With a No. There are still plenty of XP friendly choices out there. And Microsoft, recognizing that Vista is the mid decade reincarnation of Millennium is working really hard to create a good Windows 7.

IB, Quarterly would be great for those of us who don't do taxes on the US financial year.

Or for a very reasonable upgrade ... Sierra Chart.

Moderators: I'd happily be banned if you'd ban some of the idiots as well. Please. I volunteer. For the good of the board.

None today. 882.2 on HK from Aus (telstra) and 100% uptime.

LOL. More seriously. The standalone download 882.2 is good. I use it with version 1.6.0_04 because I was waiting for XPSP3 to be released before I install 05. Recommended java for TWS is still 1.5 though. Interestingly 883 wasn't slow with java 1.6 and this command line C:\Program...

The change back is next weekend (rather than the first weekend of April which I think is normal). Unfortunately IB's backfill servers were programmed with change back this weekend so on SPI at least you miss the first hour when backfilling. I presume stocks are the same but I don't...

Maxpi, Although I also untick "User Rejected Order" I remember that the problem that was discussed in that thread was a bug and was resolved for later versions of tws. To the last poster. I find IB great for international (the real world) futures. So I guess you shouldn't use them for...

lmao ... finally a post that cold deserved.

No. But beware that everything shuts down until Sunday afteroon. Times on IB site ... help system availability maybe.

LMAO ... all the advice is good. Have the european, us and hk numbers ... I trade during HK hours and they're great (I have cancelled positions and orders when we had a flood and I lost the internet). I think US is hardest to get thru to. Re the stop vs stoplimit question ... it depends...

They're good. If they had a major us outage I'd be a little concerned about phone answering time though --- i always put a stop in as soon as my order fills. They'll even let you snug a stop up if you want ... but you pay phone service rates.

PT Barnum was right ... he saw 4D coming.

As proven on every other IB discussion he's been involved in 4D is a bit of a twat. Actually that's too soft. Hes an absolute wanker. So his opinion on anything is worth zilch. Actually, I wonder if he's a shill bought in by IB to make outrageously stupid negative claims so that...

And you are a twat ... so what is new?

It expires on the day before the last business day of the month. I normally rollover at open that morning because the volume remains until that day. I think that you may find that April has the volume in the next hour or so (it seems to be catching up). It only happens once a month and...

IB has investigated what happened. My log file showed a connection to the US BUT that was only because you logged in via the browser and not the standalone. The dialog that took place was only for a second or two and the connection for orders is still direct via the HK server. So something...
