Every day I expect to get an email from IB saying the party is over and we are going to have to start paying big $$$ to trade. Yet every email I get from IB seems to be a note saying they are slashing prices. Wow. The only exception was the adding of the $10 quotes fee. And speaking...

I don't suppose there are versions of the library for use on UNIX machines. I'd be interested in solaris or linux myself. Just curious.

Any idea how it is implemented? I'm guessing that the windows DLL takes care of all the client communication and just talks to the applet via a well defined API. In that case it would be at least theoretically possible to create a better plugin which talks to the applet.

Are all of these new features windows specific? I love the IB solution because it is platform neutral. I can run at work on my solaris box, at home on my linux box and even on my wife's windows machine. I'm hoping to get a Sharp Zaurus Java PDA for christmas. If that happens, one of the...

Ok. Here are some simple instructions for running JTS on linux w/o using the java plugin. 1 - make a jts directory % mkdir ~/jts 2 - download jts.jar % lynx -source http://www.interactivebrokers.com/java/classes/jts.jar > ~/jts/jts.jar Note - you can also pull jts.jar out of...

I've been running TWS as a standalone java program this morning and the mouse issues that are normally there when running as an applet are gone. The right mouse works beautifully. Definately give it a shot!

I think you are missing the point - the standalone program on windows IS a java program distributes in one big jar file. The problem is that they distribute the whole package in an installer that is a windows EXE... Since we were talking about it, I just tried it and it actually runs...

I've found about the same thing. It runs fine on netscape 6. What I really want to do is get the standalone TWS working on linux. It shouldn't be a problem to download the jar directly. I installed on my wife's m$ machine and the invocation is trivial. I just haven't had the initiative...

I didn't configure anything to make it beep. I didn't notice the beeps at first because I normally have console beeps turned off. I don't use windows, so I can't help you if you are using that. But if you are using linux, you can use "xset" to change your console beep properties. "xset q"...

It's nice to work with computers. I keep a virtual screen open runnning IB, the island book viewer (I trade 95% on island), etc... (I haven't found a good java realtime charting system yet) I am constantly switching between my work screens and my IB screen to check on things. (fortunately IB...

El Cazador - The last few weeks I've been making about 10-15 trades a day trading up and down any regular fluctuations (almost I can find in the stocks I follows. The last few days I've been playing AMD, CMRC and SUNW, mostly playing the smaller movements as I'm fairly new to active...

I use IB on Linux (under netscape 6) and with fairly good success. The two problems I have are: 1 - it creates files in my home directory with names like "c:\IBJts\" This is really ugly. As a professional java coder, I'm VERY surprised to see such poor coding in an otherwise well done...
