ib tech is looking into the issue the last two days, we will see what they come up with, but very reasonable, serious response from their tech people.

still doing it happened on the 9:15 (cst) bar in oil when stops gets hit and speed and volume picks up tws software cannot keep up, trading dom lost all price levels but 1, and oil futures curve on a different screen all had trouble adjusting.

rank your order of brokers, just curious how your list comes out.

I am referring an issue that has cropped up recently (2016ish) in that IB may have changed something about their data, I saw a thread that another trader touched on the issue a while back noticing the same issue, trying to figure if this is my demand specific issue or something IB is doing...

Anybody else experience this where price quotes on tws just start freezing and booktrader cant keep up with the moves and just starts flashing along with the data quotes in big chuncks like a cl futures curve all just flashing as a block instead of staying up with the fast movement?

CL AND ES doing this a lot today, Ib rep needs to check into this problem, and get back to us on it for an explanation.

I need one for my bond setup, natural gas, oil, es, and nq, 2 currencies minimum - i would ideally like to have all these markets set for one click trading on booktrader so my 12 monitor trading rig is the same everyday, not having to close one booktrader out to open another for another futures...

what happened to booktrader are only 2 instances of it able to be usable at the same time, it use to be 3? actually i need 5 or 6 at the same time for my trading, that`s an improvement that is appealing to me:)

the other thing that came out of all this is the news about the ex goldman prop traders who couldn`t trade once they lost access to real time order flow data from the firm, i suspected this all along, none of these guys can actually trade without access to the firm`s resources, and this...

iraq became more apparent the next trading day when the 30 year auction garnered a lot of demand because that became proxy for safe haven, if ten year was held a day later that auction would have different as well. Plus, 10-30 big difference with fed meeting next wed in time duration on the...

total bs make plenty of money everyday, enough said check out the spread vol traders they seem to be doing alright.............actually i am glad this shook out out the incompetent rif raff, my biggest problem is deciding which market offers me the best profit versus risk profile, i.e., where to...

trying to troubleshoot whether it was new system or tws.

Thanks

interesting how cl vol has been so low after that step away smackdown at the beginning of the year where some big player was repositioning portfolio or just wanted to blow people out of positions and clear the deck for the runnup that followed - gotta love the cl games:)

Maybe the point is that this is a continual problem with IB that they make so many changes with each new iteration that these bugs are never tested prior to publishing, and things go haywire for the user when the platform rolls over if you will. Maybe there isn`t a better international broker...

The NG market has gone through dramatic changes the last 5 years and the market fundamentally changed. I think you need to take that into consideration. Market changed due to takeovers Exxon entering market in big way, and shale in general, then players arnold retiring bill perkins going out...

Their new changes are full of bugs, just stop it, the bugs have even migrated to the older versions of TWS , that's pretty hard to do, fire all your damn programmers now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact, since IB is an advertiser on this site which seeks new business from traders, a rep from IB should come on here, and provide a detailed explanation for all to see, just what happened today, and what measures IB is going to put in place to ensure this never happens again to anybody else.

I don`t think you guys realize the magnitude of what happened today at IB, a 'software glitch' is showing that you have a negative pnl on a chart toolbar going from p.m. to a.m. which happens more than I like at IB, but one can easily check account balance to ensure no account malfeasance...
