Thanks for the info. Very helpful. Just to clarify, I only said I hadn't experienced tmarket's problem. As a matter of fact, I'm still trying to figure out how he gets his TWS to reconnect after the system disconnect at 12:00 Midnight. LOL! In fact, facts always get my attention. And...

Did you look at your account window in the portfolio section? Or just the portfolio page? By the way, I'm interested, if you took it to the NFA, what exactly would you be reporting them for? A software bug? OldTrader

I don't have a position in IB or any other brokers, or any other stocks at all. I've never had a position in IB. I did have a position in MER at one time, both long and short. I've also traded MS and GS from the long side at one point. I'd say well over 90% of my trading is in the ES...

Please give me a link to any "objective" post regarding TWS and IB that you have made. They seem to have escaped me. OldTrader

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought a Sierra Wireless 598U aircard. All you really need is a USB connection. The software is contained in the aircard, so when you plug it in, it loads the software...real simple. I don't know about the "flashdrive" type use. It wasn't something I have a...

I don't suppose that it occurred to you that some folks might have a different view of things that you do....that it doesn't represent a personal stake and/or position in IB. LOL. How did you leave your TWS "running for overnight sessions" with experiencing the midnight server disconnect...

Too bad you didn't continue to keep your mouth shut, because frankly an emotional diatribe/personal attack like this does you a disservice. Let me state a few facts: 1. Having an audit trail serves to shed light on what took place, or at least to rule out certain types of things. This...

Seems to me that your "confirmed bug" is confirmed only a customer service rep. But what doesn't seem to be happening is people coming out of the woodwork with all these problems that you describe. I would think a "confirmed bug" would result in many, many complaints about this same issue...

New York gold is a low volume affair. I don't know why anyone would trade that. NYSE now has 100 oz contracts (that do no volume) and mini contracts. I think the mini is YG and is a 33 oz contract. It's low volume too, but the volume is better than the NYSE 100 oz. The problem with the GC...

I got an email from DAV yesterday. IB was able to duplicate the problem I described, and had corrected it in the latest build. I'm impressed that DAV or others had read the thread. Spent some time on the problems. Corrected them. First class in my opinion. I've said before that I've...

I agree with this. Never had a problem with it. OldTrader

The active gold contract is GC. 100 ounces of gold. June is the contract where the volume is. OldTrader

I guess you would prefer it the way it used to be...you pay for your mother-in-law's needs. Evidently it didn't occur to you. LOL. I don't know what the solution is. But the elderly have reached a time in their lives when it is difficult to do for themselves, particularly if they have...

I've had no difficulty with the trackpad on the MacBook Pro. In fact, neither my wife nor I have ever used a mouse at all. Conversely, I don't know anyone personally who has a PC laptop who doesn't use a mouse rather than the trackpad. Can't speak for the MacBook though. OldTrader

I bought a MacBook Pro several months ago. So my comments are in reference to it. Currently my setup is that I have a hardwired network between 2 PCs and a printer. The network is connected to cable. By the way, I'm using an Apple router called Airport Extreme. You can set up both wired...

Try opening a BookTrader up on the stock(s) in question, see if that causes the last price to update and work normally. Let me know how it works. OldTrader

Take it all back...I had it happen today without the BookTrader open and minimized. The quotes on SPY froze in terms of last sale. It's the only one right now that seem to freeze. But opening BookTrader cleared the problem up. LOL! OldTrader

I actually like some of the changes they've made, like to BookTrader for instance. And although it makes no difference to my trading, I like the way the looks of TWS have evolved. But I have to say, with 893.5 I'm having a problem. Every day when I open TWS it opens BookTrader on ES in a...

I recently bought a MacBook Pro. I don't use it as my primary trading machine, but it's a damn nice machine. Evidently you can run almost any PC type software with the use of parallels or a couple of other possibilities. That said, there is a provider by the name of Linn Software that...

Tell Peter I'd be happy to rent to him, except that my properties are all occupied. If the government would give me an incentive, I might buy a property to rent to him, but unfortunately, the only incentives appear to be for deadbeats that can't pay their mortgage, or for first time buyers who...
