currently the symbols are coded in a Java file. contributions to make them more configurable are welcome :)

yes using frames makes the navigation harder than necessary on the IB website

this is my understanding. please let me know if you are able to run OK

if you are seeing Java processes, that means they started (but window will not be shown, unless there is a connection to TWS) did you check the "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients"?

IBM also does this these days (but I could not find a good link) http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/solutions/ha/ha_solutions_brief.pdf

??? I would love to hear more details on the difficulties you experienced. But IBTrader is unlikely to be the culprit for your problems. Downloading and running a jar file certainly would not harm your Java and TWS and other installs. At this stage IBTrader does not even persists information...

TWS provides an order entry API and there are multiple custom front-ends are available. or you could roll your own ...

some progress. can you show "Details" too?

for simulator you could also use http://ott.sourceforge.net/ibtrader.html

hmm maybe the download is corrupt? this is the correct size 50984 also what do you get when running > java -version

here is the direct URL http://ott.sourceforge.net/ibtrader.jnlp In my understanding only Java and TWS is to be installed to be able to run the webstart version or the jar file If you run > java -jar ibtrader.jar and paste the log here, maybe it gives some clue on what is going on ...

it is certainly true that IBTrader uses TWS as its API, so whatever you can do with IBTrader you can do with TWS :) but the idea here is to provide an easier more failproof interface than TWS one could add various instruments to the contract listing with customized settings. and than trade...
