Yes. Time for you to upgrade. You can still use 872.6 and everything up till 876 had minor issues (that were major for me). 876 had an issue for Hoi so they did some quick fixes on 877 to get it up to scratch ... but 878.5 is better (current best :)) To the last poster, Xenia, (who can...

Gango4 ... what version of TWS were/are you using? I'm on 878.5 and it was good despite my losing the pc at one stage today. Also curious about the $3m ... is that actually commissions or is that just turnover?

You're not taking pleasure in someone else's pain are u empee?

FWIW ... 878 and 879 both seem to be good versions (the last one I really liked before those was 872.6 :))

What do you mean "connected to a network"? Do your other applications need a weird network setting? Or proxy settings? If not: Try turning your firewalls off first (incl windows fw) Then try turning your virus checker off Then I would start with a clean reinstall of windows XP.

You have just entered the world of risk. All brokers are faulty to varying extents. Many of us have chosen IB after wide experience - but that doesn't make them flawless, just better.

Message over TWS said the US farm issues have been resolved.

Asian server farm has had better uptime (don't know what you guys do to all those US servers). The suggestion that users switch servers sounds good at first but then you think about all those US users switching from the big US server farm to the small Asian or European farms and all you'll...

I thought the war made quite interesting television but you guys have completely fucked up the peace.

No, I used Sierra Chart. You can possibly do it with IB's excel code but I've never tried it.

Heres the last month 1 minute

You can do it with Sierra Chart and IB. You can download the whole October contract if you do it slowly.

Agreed 2 M would be heaps but you've got plenty now. Try shutting down your virus checker and see what it does to cpu usage with TS. Then try shutting down your firewall. If you've got any other active "checking" software shut it down as well. But I vote for the "keep your current...

First things first. This is a clear situation where, if you are correct, IB's CS people can tell you what happened. What did they say happened? Note: if it was a stop limit and your stop was triggered then I presume you mean by "the price was hit" that the limit was traded to (but not...

Assuming thats Asian Hours and not european my original suggestions stand. The two Nikkei options will look most like ES as has been suggested and STW and SPI will look looser and freer moving. They all have enough liquidity ... even HSI does if you position for entry rather than taking what...

Do you use the "store settings on server" option? I don't and am not sure what I would be saving there but would that explain why it could happen on two different PCs. I also don't know when it saves the settings there. It might actually be worth talking to IB CS about this rather than...

SPI STW SgxNK N225 and HSI All IB symbols so you can get full details on the IB website.

Tom, You, you twat, are simply a wanker. Who employs you to attack IB irrationally on every thread? You could help us all though. You could leave Elite Trader (isn't it obvious to you that you are not one of the elite?) But I guess there is a new wanker to replace each one that goes...

Tom and RL are wankers but thats no surprise (read shill if you want). The advice mwerbe got from tech support is the correct advice (save and, if somehow something in your computer overwrites or distorts your config file restore the old one). FWIW syd697 I recommend that you use Acronis...

QuantPlus --- the name says it all. This is bullshit. Whats true? If you want quality tick by tick data you will have to pay for it. Corrections to the anti-ib diatribe crap. IB data is fine for many traders who don't care about seeing every tick on their screen. I traded the...
