    IB TWS Update

    Cdntrader, the changes/improvements I want are the same as those that have already been voiced many times before on this board. I'm not avoiding the question, just dont want to repeat. In my humble opinion, this build of TWS goes back a few steps in terms of ease of use/common sense, etc.

    Trading journal format

    A trading journal is incredibly usefull if it is approached properly. If you are doing a lot of trades a day (20+) then you may not want to enter really detailed info on each as it would be too cumbersome. I keep track of my %win/loss as well as R (number of times profit/loss my initial risk)...
