    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    I use a tiny program called PushPin to force the JTWS window to stay on top. Here is a link to the download page: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,6535,00.asp There are lots of other programs available that will do the job. Try searching for 'always on top'.

    IB Improvements (Part 2)

    I have updated my list of requested features for IB's Java TWS to include comments on the new RapidOrderEntry panel. http://www.geocities.com/afleance/jtws_feedback.html In brief, I was very disappointed in this feature, even more so if this is IB's answer to the useability problems with...

    Ravenquote..now is ErlangerQuote...

    Before Ravenquote (and tenlights.com) was sold, they were charging $40/month. The new owner is doubling the monthly rent to $80/month, even though the program is exactly the same. Actually, the program hasn't changed for 9+ months I think. The old owners had stopped development of it. The...

    The Best Ravenquote replacement?

    Well... for my own situation, I was just using Ravenquote for the improved charts and hotlist filters compared to QCharts. I don't use alerts, scans, complicated studies, etc. I have four monitors with lots of charts grouped by sectors which I visually scan during the trading day.. I...

    The Best Ravenquote replacement?

    I tried posting a message on the old Yahoo! Group RavenQuote, but it appears my post is being censored. That group now has a moderator (probably the new owner), and I don't think you can say anything negative there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RavenQuote/messages You can read the new...

    The Best Ravenquote replacement?

    I just received an email from Phil Erlanger ( http://www.erlangersqueezeplay.com) that he has purchased Ravenquote, and you immediately start using RavenQuote again. The service is free for January, but starting February, he is doubling the monthly 'rent' from $40/month to $80/month. Checkout...

    IB improvements

    I updated my IB JTWS Bug&Feature list again. I created separate sections for Mouse Shortcuts and User Configurable Toolbars since these are very important, and added a summary list of requested HotKeys/Mouse Shorts/Toolbar actions. http://www.geocities.com/afleance/jtws_feedback.html

    Every night IB sends a daily account statement, and at the end of the month they send a monthly account statement. These emails are not secure, and they contain your name, address, and account number. Here is an example of the text at the top of each of these emails: Customer: JOINT Clark...

    IB Java TWS BEST_ECN quotes are seriously lagging/ erroneous today. Anyone else seeing this problem? I have been trading EBAY VRSN CIEN MSFT AMAT and the BEST_ECN quotes are way off. I've had to fallback to my other brokers. IB JTWS seems to be getting more unreliable lately with the...

    QCharts Router Problems - 10/22

    I tried IQCharts a long time ago, but their charts only updated once/minute, making it unusable for daytrading. Also, the program itself lacks alot of features. I also tried esignal, but their charts and software are absolutely horrible IMO after using QCharts, Ravenquote, and CyberTrader..

    IB quotes problems?

    My BEST_ECN quotes were screwed up on all the stocks on my page. I didn't study it enough to determine if there were missing ECN quotes, or delayed quotes, or etc. I was using my backup broker today CyberTrader because both QCharts and IB were having problems. Fleance

    IB improvements

    I agree the new layout feature is awesome. Finally, I will be able to remove all those columns I don't care about like Bid Size, Ask Size, Exch, Description, Time In Force, Last Size. The "Brighten odd rows" feature is kind of annoying, esp. as it affects the order rows. I turned this...

    IB improvements

    Yes, I also find it very annoying that the orders auto-sort. Sometimes I have 5-6 orders on a stock and then I add another one and then I have to look to see where it was put. Sometimes I accidentially transmitted the wrong order.

    IB: slow order entry today...anybody else?

    Someone from IB's engineering dept looked at my problem where the quotes and order transmission would freeze for 10-15 seconds every minute. The problem turned out to be with IB's process/server which was connected to my JTWS. They did a configuration change, and then *poof* the problem...

    IB problem changing order price???

    Yes, I have the same problem with latest build 722e. I had noticed this problem awhile ago, but didn't pursue it. I would just cancel the order and reenter it. I tired some of my own experiments and found the same problem. I used BEST_ECN limit on a nasdaq stock (SUNW). Transmitting the...
