Big companies stop working. Maybe they got too big. My usual example with Microsoft: their operating system and office software got better all the way to 2003, then everything started to get worse. Their changes started to make some things better but a lot more things worse. Or look at the US...

Damn! Sorry to hear that. As far as I am concerned, I am still opted out. For the little capital I have, I am better off running the risk of losing money than losing data.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the information. I understand the majority of the points you made.

Yes, I agree with everything, including that IB is the best. However, I prefer to be absolutely sure that what I write here will not affect my account at IB so I will keep the two user ids separate. Let me say one last time that these endless and unnecessary changes (one new version every...

Well, I really feel guilty for complaining so much. You've been very helpful. The only problem I still see is with the endless updates of TWS, which are causing all the problems. I found all the menus and files you're mentioning, and the error was about a "socket" but not about a "dll" if my...

Thanks, kostia. I thank you for your great attention to this thread. Of course these problems are not your fault. I see the same problem going on at microsoft: they keep on producing endless updates and newer versions, and it just goes so fast... that it doesn't add any efficiency, quite the...

Running 926.6 from Central US. Big issues here. Maybe I should try to go back to your version. I will try, tonight. I upgraded because of the server problems we have all been experiencing last Thursday and Friday. And now I have even more problems ("dll missing", etc.).

I have missed 5 hours of data/trading today, because while I was away, I got some "socket" missing dll error message popup box (this is a new problem), that could only be clicked once I got home. Until I pressed the "ok" button, the grid was pink and the data did not come through. Thanks, IB...

I agree with everything you said, and I've had the same exact experience in the same situation, except that I kept monitoring this thread for relapses, and, having a low capital, I kept myself opted out up until now. Let's acknowledge that there were no problems for a few months, and let's hope...

Me, too. Same problems of endless disconnections on the last two days of the week. Especially Thursday. And it was not helped by the fact that I still have not opted back into the Secure Login System, because it did not reconnect by itself. It did not reconnect until I turned TWS off and...

Good, thanks.

Thanks for keeping us updated. This was a major problem for automated traders (plenty of threads on the web about it), and if we didn't make all these complaints, it probably would not have been solved yet. So, I thank you for complaining, and let's all keep on monitoring it to make sure it...

Yes, thanks. And same for the others, if similar problems happen. So the few of us who are still "opted out", will feel safe opting back in the Secure Login System.

Yes, the same problem, and I am saying that the problem has been largely solved, considering all the feedback from you and the other users. Now it came back to you, for one day. Let's hope this doesn't happen again.

Thanks for the information. I am sorry that the present situation is not fully satisfactory for you, even though we all agree that there's been a great improvement on the security token problem.

Hello everyone, let's not get into arguments with each other. Thanks to our cooperation on this thread, and collective effort and feedback to IB, the problem was addressed by IB and at least partially fixed a few weeks ago.

Thanks for keeping us updated, fullautotrading. I still have not opted back into the Secure Login System, because I am still afraid something might go wrong and right now I can't afford to miss any trading days. Also, capital is quite low, so I am less afraid of being hacked than of being logged...

That's great. I'll opt back into the Secure Login System next week. Thanks to IB and thanks to all of you who participated in the thread.

Thank you for the feedback. This helps all of us who opted out (to avoid the frequent problems) to evaluate whether to opt back in.
