I'm currently over the 390 orders/day for March so I have to slow down. And I've been taking it easy the last couple weeks. Many trades I'm ignoring. stupid rules - esp when liquidity is needed the most. seems like the big boys can't keep up or they have other issues they are dealing with.

long at the top.......

limit down

I think ES limit is 5% (pre open)..... so we are close

IB's spread quotes in many of the active securities are often wrong (behind) in these fast markets. ie SPY, AAPL etc . they are constantly crossed but they are incorrect

I have always used lots of IB's data. I have access to many thousand API quotes so I'm often using the workstation to the max. Something in the new versions seems to use much more memory therefore everything else slows down. I've already increased my memory per each TWS. It was "usable"...

my performance issues were: 1) my order entry via the API was really slow 2) my TWS would use much more memory but it didn't crash this time 3) some data in the TWS was slow as a result going back one version tomorrow

yes. performance issues again. going back one

Not allowing you to go back one version is just crazy. the stable version states it is a Sep 2019 version but it is more like May 2018. That version does not allow for many API additions. Yesterday I thought it was my issue so I uninstalled TWS and the API - this morning my TWS was so bad...

Massive disaster for me the last few days: seems to be a memory issue leak so my TWS will crash in this latest version (979.3) So I'm told - use a stable version. problem is it is 972.1 (It says Sep 2019 but it is much earlier than this) and this stable version does not support some API...

lol It always comes back.......until it doesn't great secret

interesting.... Release came out at 6:45 EST (Reuters) stock was trading at 4:18 EST at $12 (up 25%) possible there was something public out there - but I don't see anything. I believe the company was going to release some data prior to the opening but not likely someone would be paying up...

Thank you for helping me build and maintain my moat!

Hard to believe that Ironbeam would actually go after this guy given all the negative publicity they are going to get. Take the hit -fix your risk parameters and move on. Or get your 100+K and receive all this bad publicity. Why would any reputable trader have an account with these idiots...

the self proclaimed expert. too funny

If a majority of the move happened in 19 seconds then yes. thus not likely

seems crazy but the SPX did have an 8%+ range that day

LOL Even Charles Schwab have cheaper Commissions than IB (stock/options). And no limitations with respect to API/workstation. PLUS, active traders at CSHW can negotiate lower rates in the options market. things are changing......

iB

Nanex is the vendor that I’m certain is fine (this service charts “activity” and everything is time stamped). So it is easy to see 99% sure Thomson Reuters is also fine.
