    Best IB Server to be on?

    You can find your server by going to the folder c:\jts and looking for the log.xxxxxx files (one for each day). After about 5 lines you get: KA 07:59:43:773 JTS-Main: Started on 20080417-21:59:43 KA 07:59:43:773 JTS-Main: Build 882.2, Feb 21, 2008 10:08:07 AM KA 07:59:43:776 JTS-Main...

    Best IB Server to be on?

    In both cases you might be better with the European Server. 1. IB has high speed links between servers. 2. IB has more problems in the US than anywhere else. 3. They changed the way things work so that even if you hosted of HK when you were placing orders on USA you connect to the US...

    I should have listened, IB is indeed a joke.

    You confuse IB the broker with the chinese walled component of IB that is a market maker / trader. Actually (I don't know) the US offices for that activity might not even be open - they may follow the sun into Asia and Europe.

    Who are the top 10 members/traders on ET?

    I wouldn't vote for myself (thanks for that though). I'm more the happy satisfied trader but I haven't said much about what I do here. Lots of good names mentioned who clearly know there stuff (you can tell after a bit). Much of their stuff is just the wisdom you can see in their comments...

    I should have listened, IB is indeed a joke.

    Yes. Its a different model. Basically computerised, fast, efficient, cheap. But to get all those together the customer service is limited. If you stay you'll probably end up liking it. Lots of us did and have which is why the scraps are so violent. The "it suits me fine" vs "it's crap."...

    I should have listened, IB is indeed a joke.

    harkm, You did ask for it by the thread title. I am sympathetic to your issue ... but why must people on this site forever use such stupid titles. Its like the reviews of software where someone gives it a 1 on all areas because they don't like one little bit of it --- OTT. You do...

    I should have listened, IB is indeed a joke.

    Despite the odd hanger on BSAM I think this is a genuine problem. Assuming its all on the up and up ... you could call the IB Hong Kong number if the US is closed. With skype its a couple of cents per minute. +852-2156-7907 I see what you mean about needing the device to log into AM...

    I should have listened, IB is indeed a joke.

    You should be able to get through to Customer Service on Chat (the HK office is definitely open). They can enable your account for a period without the device. They can even set it to run with no device (although I think its good account protection). It sounds like your one is lost in the...

    Interactive Brokers and Internet Service Providers

    I am in Aus so I have no experience of Comcast. I was however responsible for internet service provision in a former career and my advice is to look at your ISP. I choose to use an ISP (and ISP service) who does not offer kid's great deals to sign up but offers reliable, low latency...

    What is going on with IB's HK server? will they please answer the phones?

    It has been fine today. HK are normally very reliable about the phones ... have you got the correct number?

    Possible to leave IB TWS on 24/7?

    Yes it will. Your issue is that TWS has a "turn me off and restart timer" so you have to alter the log off time or use some sort of logon software if you want to run it 24x7.

    HSI returns to normal

    They're good. It took a while to change after a couple of years on one thing but now I like them a lot. Learnt a few things about my strategy while changing too.

    IB API disables TWS UI?

    That is all bullshit. The version of java doesn't matter (I use 1.6_04 and I have had not work and does work (and has been working for the last few hours)). The version of TWS doesnt matter (I had failures from 882 to 884 and 882 is currently working). There is a fuck up in the Back...

    IB API disables TWS UI?

    I contacted def earlier and he contacted techs and software people. They were working on it. It came right for me and is still right but I am being cautious on assumption I might have to ring up to close a position.
