Many thanks for your reply. By way of clarification, let me ask a couple of questions. When you say "it can handle 10MBps or more," what does the "it" refer to? Also, what are "non hard-realtime quote dissemination times"? Additionally, how do I find out if "the data is sent over TCP"...

IRT is not multi-threaded. Are MultiCharts? Do you have any sense of what aspect of the IRT/IQ interface would be causing these problems? Thanks for your insights and hope to hear more...

I don't know whether this is a software or a hardware problem or a combination of the two, but I'm hoping there are some experts here who can give me some guidance. I'm running Investor/RT (IRT) with DTN's IQFeed data feed. I am running them on a Windows XP Pro system with a 3.16 GHz Core2Duo...

No, the web-based version is not usually beta, although there is often a TWS beta release available at IB's website, which is always a web-based version (right now, there's a TWS 880 beta available; the full-release, TWS 879, is available as either stand-alone or web-based). In my experience...

TWS comes in 2 versions, stand-alone and web-based. IB tends to push the latter, possibly because it is the one that they update first (from what IB tells me, web-based updates typically precede stand-alone by 2-3 weeks, but the good news is that generally any kinks in the updates have been...

Sounds interesting. What are "fast" options and how does one elect them? Is it possible I wouldn't have had to roll back to 1.5.0_14 if I'd enabled these "fast" options (see my post above)? Many thanks in advance for your help here. :cool:

It's really easy. Copy JTS folder on C: to your desktop. Use add/remove to remove TWS. Remove all Java. Reboot. Go to Sun's website and search for Java Runtime Environment 5 Update 14 (or JRE 5 Update 14). Download it. Install it. Reboot. Reinstall TWS from IB's site. Copy contents of...

I'd been having actual disconnects frequently. Had to shutdown and restart TWS to get reconnected. IB tech support recommended rolling Java back to 5, Update 14 from 6, Update 3, as there are apparently some issues with the latter. Followed their recommendation after reinstalling TWS and...

I've been using a Linksys RV082 for some time now with Verizon DSL on one WAN and RoadRunner cable (RR) on the other. Until recently this worked great with Interactive Brokers (IB) Traders Work Station (TWS). About a month ago, however, TWS began to freeze immediately when using RR through the...

Does anyone here have enough experience with ButtonTrader to know how it compares to the other DOMs mentioned here? Also, am I correct that MD trader can only be used for trading futures? Thanks in advance for your help here.

I'm under the impression that market orders always have priority over limit orders, but am not sure this is correct. Does anyone know the actual rules that govern the priority of orders? If so, I'd really appreciate your letting us know what those rules are. Many thanks in advance for any...

Just for the record, I have not even remotely demanded that "IB call [me] everyday until the issue is resolved". I have, however, expected IB Tech Support to call me when they promise to, which they have done on several occasions--most recently day before yesterday--without bothering to call at...

I want everyone to know that I just received a call from a Managing Director at IB and it appears clear that he is genuinely committed to bringing this problem to a quick and lasting resolution and to improving the performance of IB tech support generally. I'll keep you all posted on progress...

I've been getting disconnected from web-based TWS multiple times per hour for anywhere from 3 - 5 seconds, with data often freezing for 3 - 5 seconds before the actual disconnect. This results in repeated disconnects of up to 10 seconds each multiple times per hour. I'm connected to them...

Pardon my ignorance, but what does it actually mean that "arca orders are not proactive?" In other words, what occurs when an order is proactive that does not occur when it is not proactive? If one is an IB client, like me, is there any way of working around whatever problems are presented by...

It can also be done in Investor/RT. See www.linnsoft.com. I have no relation to the company, but am surprised not to see this product mentioned more often here as it has an amazing array of customizability plus real support from real human beings who really care about the product.

I haven't been that big a contributor of valuable information here, but I've derived great benefit from valuable information provided here by others. Hopefully, the following, which a number of people have been inquiring about, will begin to remedy this imbalance for the benefit of my fellow...

Chriz, Thanks for your reply. What time frames do you generally trade? Thanks, cwb1014

FuturesTrader71, Thanks for your reply--I'm thinking I probably should have been more clear with my question when I began this thread. From what I can tell, DOM products offer very advanced order entry tools relative to what are available in most trading platforms. What I'm wondering is a...
