Nice suggestion, Jack. Works well. Thanks.

I just took ownership and removed the read permissions from that large disexxxx directory. Then, I removed all of the .LCK and files starting with _ from it using cmd.exe (del /F /Q _* and del /F /Q *.LCK). The directory size now is 21MB, and 19.7 Size on Disk. Funny, now the size on disk is...

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'd rather not move or rename that large disexxxx folder because I have had to use it often lately, and there's much more in it than just the audit files. The reason I've had to import file settings from that large folder lately is because TWS has not been...

Here's a pic of my JTS folder. Note the disejxftn Properties on the right. The size says 71.7MB which isn't bad, but the Size on Disk says 1.29GB. I'm confused. I'm thinking the real size is 1.29GB because the folder takes forever for Windows Explorer to load it. No other folder on my system...

I've been with IB several years, and my customer service experience has been mixed. I call them maybe 4-5 times a year. The last few times I called IB, customer service had improved and I was treated professionally and well. No friendly chit chat though. They don't have time for that, and that...

I'd like to know this too. Should the wording be changed to the above IF it is true there is no charge for modifying combination OPTION orders? Also, what's the best way to change a single option order such as a naked put to a combination order to avoid cancel/modify fee?

Is there anyway to make Interactive Brokers TWS folder smaller? Or can I create new folders and symlink them to my C:\Jts folder? I'm asking because I have many problems with the TWS Trader Workstation folder disejxftn being so large. It is over 1 gigabyte! I have a failry new dual core system...

Quote from TraderZones: Because this "XYZ company screwed up ABC" comes up all the time on the web, the OP does not provide any evidence, That's because the person having the problem is so mad about the problem and so confident that they are correct that they may feel like they do not...

I am not a competitor, and do not believe IB does correct accounting. Additionally, IB does not even complete the 1099-B correctly. They leave lines 8, 9, 10 & 11 blank. I've seen many complaints about this from other IB users over the years. Logic tells me that if there are other complaints...

What makes you think the problem is caused by me? You sound like a rep who always blames the customer. Grant it, it is my ultimate responsibility to do my taxes correctly. IB, as well as other brokers, also have a legal responsibility to provide certain accurate information to the IRS and...

I'm about to change from IB because of its lack of dilligence in its handling of our taxes. I'm in the process of doing my amended taxes for 2008, and everytime I try to do my taxes I have a problem with IB's recordkeeping. Interactive brokers used to offer gainskeeper or captools, but it...

thanks everyone for your help.

Sorry, a typo. Yes, its $27K the IRS claims I owe. So, are you saying that my 1099-B from IB was correct, or do I need to contact IB before re-filing or contacting the IRS? Surely, I don't owe the IRS anymore money because of this. I just hope I can prove it. P.S. Now I fear the IRS will...

Hi, I just received a letter from the IRS that I owe them around $24,000 additional taxes for my 2007 Federal Tax Return due to unreported income from Interactive Brokers. During 2007, I traded the following financial instruments with IB - options, forex, stocks, SSFs, and futures. IB...

Sorry, I didn't see those threads. I'm glad I did not have to reinstall my OS in order to fix it. Just uninstalled firefox and flash along with every firefox reference in the registry - and reinstalled, and voila! That fixed it.

Now that I've posted my proof, is it going to be fixed or not?

There are legitimate times when you need to modify an order, such as market news has changed, you're going out of town and want to change your order, etc. $1.50 per modification can quickly add up. I've paid an extra $10-$20 a day just for modifying orders. Per month, that's $200-$400 a...

I hope you have good luck when you try it. I lost my bookmarks though. I had them saved to desktop, but accidentally deleted them. Oh well. I had too many bookmarks that needed deleted anyway. P.S. I forgot to add that I also uninstalled flash before uninstalling Firefox, and reinstalled it...

Problem finally solved. This is how I did it. Uninstalled Firefox from Control Panel including settings. Then searched drive C and removed all files and directories with firefox in their name. This time I removed every firefox reference in the registry, including flash references. Emptied...

Just curious. Seems like a steep price to pay just to modify your order.
