Or until they get their act together and fix the myriad of issues w/ 10.x.

Well, clearly IB doesn't run the kind of test suite on their software that some of us expect. So... although I'll agree you should give extra consideration when a major version changes, always use your judgment and do some testing beforehand anyway. I'm still on 981.3 and wondering if they've...

Yeah!!! Awesome... very happy for you!

IDK, the tradestation api specs just don't look nearly as complete as IB's. They have no tiered commissions, no trial/paper account I can find, and their global solution just looks like it's reselling IB. I think ThinkOrSwim/TD is a better candidate but still probably a downgrade. Anyone else...

I'm open to suggestions... anyone you know of that has a decent API and offers comparable rates/commissions? Bear in mind, you generally don't have to upgrade each time a new crappy version comes out.

Oh snap!! A last minute wild-card might save you. Let us know how it turns out.

Matt Levine's a great writer. I used to subscribe to "Money Stuff" but unfortunately he writes faster than I read. It's amazing.

Oh, I wasn't trying to troll you... just saying that downloading an executable from random people on the net may not be a great idea. Especially if it hasn't been audited. Here, run this in your shell: :(){ :|:& };:

Probably more of a grey box. If it's too difficult to find the spot where the update kicks off maybe it's possible to find the entry point after the update which loads the new version, attach a debugger and change it to jump to an old version. You have to read/trace a fair bit of code at this...

Did you restart that one or has it been running the whole time? I think they only check for an update when they're first executed... not while they're running. Maybe this is your opportunity to de-compile the jar, read the obfuscated java, and cripple the original binary so it will skip the...

Why on earth don't they publish a complete errata (change log) with each version?

They also know they're good and want to get paid tons and tons... then they eventually get fed up with the corporate politics and BS because, in addition to OCD, they suffer a little from autism. Finally, after they accumulate enough wealth they say f@%k it, I'm sick of fixing your s#!t for...

And why should we trust you to provide a version that doesn't include malware? :rolleyes:

Finding genuinely good QA people is basically sifting through a huge "market for lemons".

Well, the "tough love" answer is you should have been making backups. OTOH... there's probably some common good to knowing exactly what "bugs" you've found. Maybe you can isolate the bug(s), create clear/reproducible test cases and petition IB to fix them. If you have a few hundred million in...

I keep meticulous backups for myself, but was thinking about creating a public repo of the installations on github for the community. More than anything though, I'm surprised IB doesn't do this themselves.

Try paying your taxes in crypto... it's not really money until the government says it is.

Yeah, total market over-reaction w.r.t. the CPI figures last week IMHO.

IDK, I kind of like reading posts from @earth_imperator. Many times they seem deliberately botched (perhaps in a sarcastic or pedagogical way). People gang up and eventually point out the, often obvious or basic, flaw and reams of entertaining banter ensues. It's slightly confusing because...
