kiwi, thanks much for the link. Is that an 'upgrade' or a full-install file ? Bob111, thanks very much for the files offer...I'll PM or post again here if I need one of them. OptionAttack, fwiw, I was able to access acct. mgmt on the website without any trouble yesterday; with only my...

I was away from trading since the end of 2005; and am now back home and picking things up again. My TWS icon is labeled 851, but I've noticed that error logs say it's Build 854.4, Nov 29, 2005. It used to work flawlessly; but when I tried to start it today, I could not get past the little...

I would check into home-schooling more seriously than just reading the mainstream propaganda...errr..."media"...articles; before using that assumption as something to base plans on. Homeschooled kids EXCEL....in every study ever done. You might consider that part of good-quality...

yup; and another few million so-called 'parents' who eagerly get their kids drugged JUST so they can more easily ignore them and avoid the responsibility...not get diverted from their shopping and bar-hopping and yoga classes... bleahh... The chinese thing that was mentioned sounds about...

I think that sums it up pretty good; except I take issue with the "neurological PROBLEMS" bit. But then, I see that I used the words "abnormally high neurotransmitter levels"; i.e. "abnormally". I should've said "wonderfully higher than usual"... :) Anyway, the point I want to make in...

Jack, thanks for that 'enter' tip...didn't know abou that one. :)

I found it hard to believe that TWS was going to force me to type in 40 data-lines by hand, one by one; rather than providing a function to bring them all in from the server with one click. oh well. I think I did finally find a solution though. I found that the right-click 'copy' and...

uhmm....that's what I'm talking about. add a -global- setting to that window, so that a single click does them all at once; rather than requiring the tedious line-by-line... :)

huh...I thought that kind of delay was common...i.e. normal. :D I trade options on DIA and QQQQ, and I -commonly- experience 5-20 second delays on DIA. It does indeed seem 'forever'. :p Q's are almost always instant....but DIA is almost always slow. :confused: :confused:

no, the creativity comes from the abnormally high levels of neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain. makes more connections and faster connections...leads to very different thoughts/ideas getting pasted together....voila! new invention...painting....whatever. the "not being able to pay...

not possible? i have ADD, and i trade. the creativity-ADD correlation is pretty strong. Scientific American had an extensive article on it some years back...mid-90's maybe? search their index for it. as far as 'cures' go....yah, the exercise is a good one....get the body endorphined...

ok, I just talked with QT....they don't plan to work with this at all. So, the stripped version that so many are asking for; or the "modular" version rumored to be in the works, would be a high-priority request of mine. ps; I wanted to say THANKS! ...for the backill data. That's great...

I'm not sure what you mean by "both ways".... I just want to be able to arrange the data-lines the way I want them; without them being reordered and deleted on me. This is confusing the hell out of me because I was using 8.3x for 2 years, and never had a lick of trouble! IBsoft...

Because I'm not up to speed on the internal 'lingo' of brokers, let me phrase it this way: I want this global-default, when set to 'on', to -ensure- that I do NOT end up owning any of the underlying stocks under any circumstances. There have been cases where an option looked as if it was...

howdy Alan, and thanks much for helping. I did a completely new install of 8.51, downloaded last friday. I deleted the 'demo' page of stocks which first comes up. I then created a new page; but it did not load my positions from the server. Is there a specific command to set TWS to do this...

re: Global Default for Handling Options at Expiration. I would like to see the above implemented. I'd like to be able to set a -global- default which says "do NOT exercise any options on expiration day....cash them out instead". This would be wonderful for peace of mind, and save a lot...

thanks for the info. i'm not up to speed on 'FIX'....i'll have to check with QT and see if this is something they work with. If it completely eliminates having to load/run the Java runtime, that would be a godsend for sure. :)

that sounds pretty facetious to me Jim; so i think i'll just end the conversation here. if anyone else has an answer on how to stop the auto-reordering of datalines, and auto-deleting of zero-position datalines, i'd be grateful to hear it. thanks! :)

:p :p :p no thanks! what a freaking nightmare -that- is. nope...i had a totally stable platform for 2 years without 'upgrading'; and it did everything i needed. It is NOT the user's fault that IB didn't foresee the need to make a -mandated- 'upgrade' transfer properly from older...

yup....buh-bye! :p in re, the other posts... FOMC? what does that have to do with anything? short-term interest rates have nothing to do with the skyrocketing on-market RE inventories. 10-year is about the same as it has been for years now...around 4-4.5%. The 'boom' was caused...
