snorton> - You can control the frequency of hot list updates via snorton> Edit -> > Preferences -> Misc tab. Thanks, I didn't see that. The more important feature is to be able to suspend the update. Often, I like to click on each symbol starting from the top of the hotlist so that I can...

I have posted a picture of my workspace in QCharts and in SWP. They look pretty similar. http://www.geocities.com/afleance/Workspaces.html Fleance Bugs and Requested Features for IB's Java Trader Workstation (JTWS) http://www.geocities.com/afleance/jtws_feedback.html

I have been evaluating StockWatchPro the last week. The newly released 2.3.1 appears to have fixed the crashes I was having; The program has been running without crashes for the past 8 hours. I have been using QCharts for the past 3 years, and for a stretch I used RavenQuote (RQ), until it...

I also signed up for a StockWatchPro trial when I saw that the new release 2.3 supported IB for order entry. I liked the scanner, and the ability to apply filters to the Qfeed HotLists, but the rest of the UI was about the same as QCharts for me. Also, it was very unstable on my machine...

Thanks for your post. This kind of information is very good to know. I've found that when people review brokers, they almost never compare/review the transaction reporting features and limitations. My brokers are currently Ameritrade, CyberCorp, and IB, and there is wide variation in the...

I saw everything you saw Catoosa. Luckily I wasn't long along of stocks when that happened. The quotes were completely screwed up, some quotes had best bid stuck, some best ask, some both. I'm used to using limit orders, and it was almost impossible to get orders in that way. Market...

Definately the standalone version. The browser version is dependent on IE. If IE crashes (which does happen occasionally for me even in IE 6.0 on Windows XP Pro), then it will take the browser's JVM down also, and the IB JTWS Applet will go POOF! Also, you have control over when you...

I had been using Pushpin and PowerMenu to keep IB JTWS on top of QCharts window. This has worked fine for a year. But lately, starting with build 760.6, it is not working properly. After setting "Always on top" after a few clicks on Qcharts, the setting 'wears' off, and the IB JTWS gets...

The configurable toolbar is nice. I also prefer just text (no icons!). The only items I have are "Account Trades Bulletin". I don't use anything else. I really want IB to add a "Cancel Page" and "Remove Filled Orders" toolbar action. Actually a combined "Cancel Page"/"Remove Filled Orders"...

JBLU was not available for trading today at IB. You can't count on IB for trading IPOs. It just doesn't seem to be a priority for them. JBLU that low float really makes it easy to runup on hype. Fleance P.S. Don't forget to fill out the new IB April survey on TWS Enhancements...

I'm still upset that IB eliminated BEST_ECN. There reasons for doing so are very flimsy. So far, on liquid NASDAQ names, I have noticed more delays and missed fills using BEST than BEST_ECN. Unfortunately, I don't have hard evidence of the cause(s). I usually use BEST limit orders, and I...

Today was the first day I really felt serious pain because of IB crappy quotes. There was a quote delay on MSFT KLAC NVLS, others. I also saw the stuck quotes on NVLS. It's pretty bad when Quote.com QCharts quotes are ahead of IB quotes by 1+ seconds. I usually use BEST limit orders...

IB's System Status 4/03/2002 09:44 EST Some customers may experience order routing and pricing issues, we are working on resolving this matter. All other IB systems are operating normally. IB's quote feed is really falling apart. I'm looking at quotes for KLAC which are stuck at 65.78 x...

[I received this in the email from IB today] IB Notification-March 22, 2002 Dear IB Customer: IB recently eliminated the Best ECN routing alternative for Nasdaq National Market Securities (NMS). Best ECN was originally offered to our customers because of complaints about execution...

I have been using TradeLog since last year, and it is by far the best program I have found for handling large numbers (100,000s) of trades from various brokers. I had over 100,000 trades from several different brokers (IB, CyberCorp, NDB, DLJ) and TradeLog handled them all. I did find a...

I was using Ravenquote mainly because of a few chart features -- I'm not really into formulas and alerts, etc.. When the new owner came in and immediately doubled the rent from 40/month to 80/month on a piece of software which hadn't been maintained for many months, I was pissed off. That is...

My wife's family's cat's name. I used it to create an account at some website, and it became a habit. I don't like picking usernames, because the cool names are already taken. Ever try creating a username at www.ebay.com ? Roboform (www.roboform.com) makes things easiser because it...

I use a little utility called PushPin. It works with W2K, probably other windows. http://www.webattack.com/get/pushpin.shtml Many people have asked that IB add this option into JTWS itself. Fleance IB JTWS Bug&Rrequest List http://www.geocities.com/afleance/jtws_feedback.html

When I contacted IB's help, they said Q: What happened to BEST_ECN ? "A: It [BEST_ECN] is only available for non NMS or small cap issues. There should be an explanation of this change sent out today." Q: Is this a permanent change by IB, not a system problem? "A: correct" So...

I mostly use BEST_ECN for routing. When TWS loaded my contract page, it didn't load all the contracts which had BEST_ECN routing set and I cannot create new contracts with BEST_ECN. I downloaded the latest build 758.4, so that might be causing this problem. I didn't see any bulletins saying...
