What a great statement!!! We can only guess at what the panic must have been like in the crash of 1929. I guess October 1987 gives us a clue.

I upgraded only to find out this morning all of my hotkeys had been removed. Nice job IB.

I think the TN panels would be all you would need for 9 of the monitors. Buy one high quality panel for your primary display. I use 10 CRT monitors (5 on the top row and 5 on the lower row). Catoosa

I knew it was a problem the moment I opened TWS version 866.5. It also takes up space on the page tab. I tried to find a way to remove the two buttons from the tab but found no option for removal.

What version of Windows are you using? I just looked in my system32 folder and did not have this file but I am running windows 2000. You could copy the file to another location first and then try and delete the remaining file in the system32 folder and see if windows will let you delete it. If...

I can not answer your question but what you have described just further confirms that I do not want to ever use any software put out by Symantec. I own a 1000 shares of their stock which I know I should dump less I wind up with a "0" some day in the future.

Yes, that is parallel circuit. You could just use a 12V car battery in place of the UPS battery or as many car batteries as you like connected in parallel to give the run time needed. One thing to keep in mind is the UPS power rating must be sufficient to power the equipment plugged into the...

If run time is what you are looking for, buy large car batteries and hook up in parallel with the UPS. Just make sure to put the batteries in plastic boxes to prevent acid damage to carpet and etc.

John, your findings may not be the same as mine. I have been shorting stocks since 1972 but did not start checking for this problem until the IRS wrote me a nasty letter for the 2002 tax year. As a result, I have been checking all of my accounts for this problem each tax year. It is obvious that...

For past years, this has been the case for me with the gross proceeds reported by IB on the 1099. For all of my open short stock positions at each years end, IB reported the sales amount of those short positions in the gross proceeds reported on the 1099. As a result, every year I have had to...

I have been under the impression that the following statement from IB's web site applied: US Securities & Commodities Non-Professional Bundle (Includes all Stock, Options, Futures and Bond markets) United States Free (USD 10.00 market data fee if less than USD...

I think you should have an account with both brokers and use each where the need fits best. You also get the benefit of spreading the cash between more than one broker.

Relleum: I have been using RealTick 3 data and software for 8 years and would not want to trade without it. The cost is $250 per month plus exchange fees. CQG, eSignal, and TradeStation would also do what is needed. I have not used QuoteTracker but from what I have read about it here on ET, I...

I agree with all you have said here. TWS 865 has been an exception to the great success of IB's software development group. But, you can only wonder how there could be so many bugs in one TWS version upgrade. I will be glad when we can get past this upgrade.

Using TWS 865.7 with Windows 2000: At the start of each day, all of my symbols are missing from my TWS pages. I have to go to the JTS folder, delete the Log file for the current day, rename the Log file form one of the previous days to the current day and restart TWS to recover my symbols...

I upgraded from TWS 864.7 to TWS 865.7 and all of my TWS windows that were on my secondary monitors would revert back to the primary monitor every time I restarted TWS. There were also some problems with some of the icon buttons not looking right. I thought these problems was likely due to my...

HoundDogOne: I agree with what you are saying about the one and only approved banking account method. IB has tried several times to get me to take one of their tokens; However, I do not want one. IB needs to make sure they are sending my money to me and not an impostor.

I think TD/Ameritrade does not want QuoteTracker users exchanging information on a board. I think TD/Ameritrade wants to try and control the exchange of information and ideas. Catoosa

I have been using RealTick since 1998. I am not having the problems you describe and I do not have as powerful a computer as you. I have 36 RealTick windows spread out over 8 monitors. I have IB TWS running on a ninth monitor. RealTick charts are the best. I would not want to trade without...
