    Old tale TWS freak when markets move.

    Most of the problems seem to be individual servers going down or degreaded. I have multiple accounts and TWS running and usually when there is an outage, not all of the accounts go down. When I have one TWS down and the others up, I know it is IB's problem and not a network connectivity...

    Great Depression II (2000-201?)

    The CPI is neutered by the QAM (Quality Adjustment Method,introduced 1967) which allows govt statisticians to say that 1/2 of a price increase in a product was due to 'improved quality' so they take that out, and they also use GME (Geometric Mean Estimator,introduced 1998...

    Amazon (long term traders) Warning!

    I have bought software that is downloaded only (no CD shipped), and the policy was much easier than what you describe from Amazon. After accepting my payment, they would email me a link to the download site and I would have 24-48 hours to download the software. That way, if my download...

    IB Alternatives

    I have used VNC (free) to control my home PC from work. The protocal is very efficient and it works ok. I think it uses a single port like 5901 or something. (I think the FAQ says what port(s) it uses). http://www.realvnc.com/
