An IB bulletin "NOTICE OF IMMINENT BUY-IN" started to flash on my TWS window at 15:43 EDT. It told me that I need to buy-in my short position before 14:45 deadline, which is one hour BEFORE 15:43, when they gave me this notice. What a joke! When I saw this notice, I had no choice but let IB...

Kiwi, thanks for sharing your startup command for TWS startup. I think I will try to be a copy cat and see how it goes. Right now I am very curious about what all these "-XX:+......" swithes do, and how they impact the way TWS runs. Can you tell us a little more about why you included them...

...that are banned for short-selling

moarla, How do you change from US to european gateway? Do you change it in jts.ini file? or you have to ask IB to make the switch for you?

Yeah, but it's 9:46am now.

None of my orders were accepted so far this morning.

Nice. But does XP with SP3 tune the TCP settings dynamically?

I am wondering if optimizing your TCP settings would be helpful to certain trading software, for example, for someone that sends a lot of orders through API with TWS, etc. It looks like there are quite a few settings that could effect your network performance (MTU, Selective ACKs, Max...

I uninstalled java 1.6 and have been running 1.5.0_15 for 2 days now, without a problem so far. So there seems an issue with java 1.6 working with TWS. Has anyone else had same experience?

bid/ask didn't show on some of my stock symbols this morning. Re-started TWS, problem went away. build 882 with java 1.6.

Maybe I have missed something important. What exactly is this bug about? I use 882 with API, so I would like to know. Do you have a link that explaines what bug that is? The Fixes and Changes section of 885 release notes doesn't say anything about API orders.

Nobody knows anything about the NASDAQ Intraday Cross?
