Hi It seems that server outages, especially after important economic data releases or sudden market movements, have become fairly common at IB. I use three different ISPs and all three connections experience the "TWS purple outage" concurrently during at least the last six months. Do any...

Does anyone know the locations of datacenters used by CQG, Rithmic and TT? Thanks!

Hi, all Trader13 made a very good point about the locations of the datacenters used by a broker. Would anyone be interested in chiming in to create a thread on this subject? I'll start with IB: US http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/208.245.107.3 Europe (CH)...

Hi, all Still searching for a backup broker to IB... Anyone using ADMIS directly or through an ib? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, guys, for your feedback. Being an IB customer, I'm new to CQG, TTnet & Rithmic data feeds. Would any of you happen to trade Eurex products using a TTnet or Rithmic data feed? Do you find their reliability comparable to CQG's feed?

Hi, all Can anyone suggest a US futures broker offering Eurex products he/she is happy with which does not have a monthly (typically US$ 23) Eurex data feed fee? Thanks.

Hi, all Looking for a backup broker to IB. Currently checking out DeepDiscountTrading and Advantage Futures. Discretionary trading. Typically do 500 DJ Euro Stoxx 50 RTs a month. I understand that DDT is an ib to Crossland, whilst AF is self-clearing. Not looking to save commissions, but...

Hi, just21 Would you mind describing your hardware/trading setup? Thanks!

What trading software and broker do you use, i960? Thx.

Hi Not sure where to post this thread. Would a mod please move it accordingly as required? How do you find trading equity futures on a discretionary basis using a 3G or 4G mobile internet connection? It seems that latency is on the whole quite satisfactory, so long as there're no...

Does this still hold true?

Thanks for the feedback, vikana. Hmmm... If Java 1.7.40 has network communication issues, I guess there may be little the IB TWS software team could do about it. :(

Hi, all Has anyone noticed TWS freezing briefly every now and then after updating to Java 7 40? I've a second trading machine which still uses Java 7 25 and isn't affected by this problem. I'm on TWS 936.9h. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi IB's TWS has an option during login to enable SSL for encryption all communication with IB's servers. My question is: if this SSL option is NOT selected, is the login password transmitted over the internet in plain text or not? It'd be appreciated if an IB tech rep could clarify this...

Hi Just to provide an update. Using Java 7 build 25, I've upgraded from TWS 936.9 to 936.9h (released on 18 July), and the bug described in the above post is gone. If 936.9h does the trick, kudos to the IB software team!
