    IB realtime chart stopped moving

    LOL ... totally screwed up by yourself. Vista = kid's eye candy machine. Do yourself a favour and reformat the hard disk and install XP Pro.

    Successful traders keep silent because trading is so simple...

    Amazing that the OP has kept the thread going so well and keeps getting quoted. For my 2c worth. I reject requests to trade OPM because I've got enough of my own and don't need the grief. I reject any thought of trying to teach anyone my simple method because although I find it simple...

    Forex Daytrading a Losing game?

    The article is rubbish. Typical of the "I can't do it so no one can" type of thinking we see amongst failures in this game.

    IB realtime chart stopped moving

    For fxxxk sake ... why don't people say what versions of stuff they have. It would be much more helpful to people trying to avoid issues. Or to validate that they don't have issues with the same version. I used 878.5 (my normal) and 879.2 both with the latest API (not the beta) which is 9.3...

    Using two computers at once.

    Yes you can have multiple computers using one IB account. You run TWS on ONE computer. On the other computers you can run applications that use TWS but you put in the IP address of the computer that runs TWS as well as the Port number (so maybe you put 192.168.1.5:7496 instead of just...

    IB realtime chart stopped moving

    1. Presumably you don't mean now (weekend)? 2. Did last price change or were the bid and ask changing? 3. What version of TWS and Java?

    Is IB TWS down Nov 2?

    I don't know much except that we're just about in the "weekend" where TWS won't load anyway. I didn't like any version of TWS after 872.6 much because of download data issues until 877 but 878.5 seems to have been good. Someone had a problem with OTC stocks on it so maybe 879.2 resolves...

    Is IB TWS down Nov 2?

    Are you using the latest non-beta version of tws (878.5)? Although I note I just got an "All systems now normal flash"

    New Bug in IB Software

    And for whom is it a game? Your choice on whether you use 879 but given your concerns I'm surprised you didn't try it.

    New Bug in IB Software

    To make the information really useful: - what version of TWS did you have before that didn't have this problem? - what version are you using that does have it? - have you tried the beta (879.0)?

    Did IB get freaked out so it still holds 100% intraday margin in some markets?

    I just opend an IB account - Webtrader or TWS?

    Yes it is TWS. Generally people use TWS; most seem to use it standalone although because Java caches the .jars downloaded there isn't a large penalty for using the so called browser based TWS. Most TWS users also use a different order entry tool if they are frequent traders. ZeroLine...

    Did IB get freaked out so it still holds 100% intraday margin in some markets?

    Sierra Chart will now run with a wide range of brokers. What was interesting was that when each new one arrived there were people waiting eagerly to take them. And then there was a honeymoon period of warm statements and praise. And finally, maturity and the problems come out. All...

    Did IB get freaked out so it still holds 100% intraday margin in some markets?

    LMAO. I didn't classify you as a wanker. But I am happy to now classify you as a twat. No nerve struck. I just get a bit of fun from baiting twats like you. And I repeat the wish that you take your fellow wankers and twats with you. Good riddance :)

    Did IB get freaked out so it still holds 100% intraday margin in some markets?

    I for one am glad you've gone Tortoise. Can you take some of the twats, whingers, and wankers with you please? You might also take the more stupid newbies and those who are so under-capitalised that this increase in margin makes them squirm. It would be a whole lot better for the...

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    For myself I am pleased that should an issue of this nature create an unforeseeable disaster for me I will probably NOT be left out in the cold by IB. At least not after some debate at ET. If you read the statements carefully you will come to the conclusion that zzzap won't get fully...

    Can't access IB anyone else having probs?

    I dropped HSI at the end of the week before last. I decided it was too psychotic for me and it was a good motivation to try to adapt my method to other contracts. I have been teaching myself to trade SPI, STW and SGXNK. I've been surprised that I can trade 3 at once (they're so slow) but...

    Can't access IB anyone else having probs?

    Interesting. I just tried 872.6 to log into Hong Kong. And I got the ???? version of a welcome screen So I went back to 878.5 ... and it was Ok. Back to 872.6 and lots of ????s Tried the web beta 879.0c and all was OK. So, if you're having a problem make sure you run the latest...
