    def II

    I agree Yahoo Groups ads are very intrusive. Yahoo is trying to squeeze $$ from everything now, charging extra fees or forcing ad-only page views. They are adding restrictions on geocities accounts, forcing you to pay if want the old free account. What about ezboard? I like the bulletin...

    IB Improvements (Part 3)

    CRITICAL: Position column, P&L, and AccountWindow sometimes take 30+ seconds to update plus the P&L will be displayed incorrectly in the meantime. I haven't seen this bug today with 754.2, and I made about 200 trades today. Usually, I see this bug several times a day. The release notes do...

    IB Improvements (Part 3)

    This thread won't be the same without def, but let me get the ball rolling.... I installed 754.2 and configured a MouseAction for ClosePosition. I used it several times on Friday and Monday when I had odd lots, and it saved me some time. However, with the current MouseActions, I haven't...

    IB routing to PRIMEX

    I have received 10 fills from PRIMEX today (out of about 200). The stocks were NTAP CSCO VRSN INTC AMAT. I think that they are only routing to PRIMEX for the NAS100 stocks, so you might not see it for other NASDAQ stocks. I almost always use limit orders, so I can't comment on market orders...

    IB routing to PRIMEX

    I noticed that some fills on BEST_ECN were sluggish today; I can't conclusively say whether it has anything to do with PRIMEX, but I will watch more closely tomorrow. In reviewing my executions through BEST and BEST_ECN, I had a number of them filled by PRIMEX. Reading the about page on...

    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    I'm glad others are coming forward to explain why RapidOrderEntry Panel doesn't do much for us. Most of what you suggest has been suggested by many others before us. Everyone seems to have advocated a similar solution, e.g. have some defaults for instrument (stock, option,etc.) and...

    > pending order do not display when ticker is added I have added this as a bug to my list, but I think it is MINOR. > profit/loss regardless of entry date. this sounds good, but exactly how is it calculated? When do you consider the trade finally closed? For example, do something like...

    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    Catoosa, I have experienced the exact same problem: upon upgrading JTWS, I would lose my page layout settings. Like you, this has happened to me multiple times. I'm guessing that each time they change the layout options, e.g. adding the RapidOrderPanel, they clobber the user's old...

    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    Well, I'm glad you got some use out of it. I tried it out and it was very frustrating because even though entering a symbol is now easy (finally!), entering/adjusting the quantity, and price is slower plus once you transmit the order it isn't visible on your page, even if the ticker is on your...
