I have been using IB for t0 years and have never had a pop-up window I could not deactivate until now. As for the one you mention above, you can deactivate it in the operating system startup list.

Although I can do a bit better than IB on futures commissions, I can sure sleep better with my money in an IB account than in the account of most futures brokers. The security and protection of client funds is most important for me.

If we both have the same problem resulting from an upgrade to TWS 898.2, the problem must be within the version 898.2 upgrade. I hope you have reported your problem to IB tech support. I opened an IB trouble ticket and did not like the response and suggestion I received back. The techie...

An annoying "market data request pop-up window" can not be deactivated after upgrading to TWS 898.2. I check the "Don't display this message again" box and click OK but this pop-up window keeps popping up every time I change TWS pages or log onto TWS. This started with the first time I opened...

Are you able to get futures data from the Ameritrade feed? I was unable to get any futures data through the Ameritrade feed and concluded that the Ameritrade feed does not have futures data, but would once they get the ThinkorSwim purchase fully integrated.

I have a Netgear FVS318 that worked great for 5 years with comcast. My comcast internet service was getting slower and slower with frequent outages. I was calling Comcast and accusing them of throttling my service bandwidth. A sharp Comcast tech gal thought I had a router slowly dieing. I...

Bigpig41: When you get the education section, also click on "user guides" and study the TWS user guide.

Thanks OldTrader. It has been years now since I used Ensign or Sierra and I am sure their charting software has improved several fold. I will sure consider going back to one of them but last night I worked some more with QuoteTracker and IB backfill settings and I am very pleased with the...

Maybe in the long term TDA will get some of the short comings straightened out.

OldTrader, Thank you for your reply and suggestions. I have used Ensign and Sierra charts and I really did not find them up to the RealTick charts I used for many years. I tried Quotetracker and liked it better than the RealTick and quit using RealTick even though RealTick was free for me...

This TWS charting problem has brought brought my computer to a crawl. I opened TWS on one of my other computers and TWS charts was keeping the CPU at 100% about 75% of the time. For me, this problem only occurs if I have ES in one of my tick(trade) line charts with update every second and keep...

Some of what I am reading here speaks volumes about TDA management positioning and intentions.

TDA may need to increase the price in an effort to cover the acquisition cost of QT and the operation cost of QT. QT is a great deal even with the price increase. Better still,opening a TDA account is a good move with the benefits of QT use. TDA has made several great acquisitions. QT and...

IB (Interactive Brokers) has great commissions. MB Trading just got through increasing their minimum commission to $4.95 for stocks. MB Trading has good commissions for futures.

Per the MB Trading website, MB Trading has increased their minimum commission on stock trades from $1.00 to $4.95 along with other commission increases and order requirements for stocks. It looks to me like MB Trading has come to rely more on their future and forex traders.

I think TDAT routs orders to market makers that pay for order flow only when that market maker is at the best price. Most all brokers work that way. I have found TDAT order fills to be fast and fair but the order entry platform is way behind what is offered by many other brokers. Maybe the TOS...

A line trades chart of ES Globex does more than eat my PC memory, it crushes my CPU..

I agree with all you have said. The frequent study of MP has helped me a great deal. However, I use line tick charts with time on the horizontal, price on the vertical, and volume underneath on the horizontal. I then apply MP reasoning and thinking to evaluate what the charts are revealing.
