Pete: Just want to update regarding my problem. After deleting the settings.xml file, my problem seems to have disappeared. Thank you for the help. OldTrader

What algorithm is going to decide whether the news is bullish or bearish, and/or is already discounted by the movement in the stock? Ridiculous. OldTrader

Thanks for the response Pete. First, I downloaded the latest update to TWS this AM in hopes that the problem was addressed. Currently using Build 858.4. Unfortunately, this Build did not address my aforementioned problem as I had hoped, since my TWS loaded all the settings that I was using...

Exactly! OldTrader

I'm not having that problem either. Are you using the web based TWS or standalone? Standalone doesn't download anthing unless you OK it. OldTrader

Call customer service. They are having some problems today, but I haven't heard that particular one. I'm not trading options though. OldTrader

I don't have any doubt they are working hard at it. They always get it corrected, although never as fast as some of us would like. But if I thought otherwise as you evidently do, I'd switch brokers. OldTrader

Yep, that's been a problem too, although hitting "restore settings" takes care of it. I haven't had to "restore settings" though on these intermittent disconnects. I've just had to do that first thing in the AM. OldTrader

probably because it's doing this intermittently, and has been for a couple of hours. You caught it just right when you logged back in. I just had it happen in the last 15 minutes or so. OldTrader

My login box is now in double digits trying to login, my TWS is pinkish, yet prices seem to be updating. Market data shows green. I'm confused. OldTrader

Last guy I saw typing/talking like you was the pirate Long John Silver. "Me style". Sheesh. OldTrader

Millions of people have successfully opened an account with IB. Try reading the instructions again. OldTrader

I have the new build, no problems at all with Booktrader. I used it a number of times on Friday alone. You may be having some other type of problem. OldTrader

Just a few comments. Certainly it goes without question that Baron has the right to establish the rules and framework for his site. None of us should have a problem with that...and in deed, if we do have a problem with the particular rules and/or framework established it's a simple matter...

I downloaded the latest build in the last week or so. I don't have any problem of the type you describe. Makes me wonder what the source of your problems really is. OldTrader

You know, you're exactly right....IB is the best broker I've dealt with up to now, and I too appreciate their efforts. This problem will be cleared up quickly, just as they have been in the past. OldTrader

Yeah, it does drive you a little crazy. One thing that worked for me is to "restore settings". It's under "file". I picked out a prior day under restore settings, clicked it, and it brought up the correct settings. Or of course, you can just reenter whatever changes you've made which is a...

I called IB customer service today about my problem. The claim it's an issue with Build 857.7. Evidently when TWS boots up it picks up a file from a prior day. They say they will be correcting this issue soon in a subsequent build. OldTrader

I have not had the problem. OldTrader
