I was given this link to see if it fixes the problem (the IB TWS Beta) and it seems to fix the quotes on this machine: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/cgi-pub/betalink.pl Try it and see if it works better. -DP

In one of the other posts somewhere here - someone said that the new DLL needed the new tws excel file. That fixed it here.

Apparently GH1 ~*AND*~ Turock were both right. Turock explained it exactly as I now understand it; orders are just queuing up for open and you should be able to look at them (not necessarily pay attention to them, but look at them). GH1 was right because he was seeing "off" prices. There...

Level 2 data is Nasdaq originated. IB doesn't do trading with Nasdaq after 4:00 PM. By these facts, we shouldn't be seeing Level 2 prices after 4PM EST. -- That is what I'm told is being looked into. -Dust

Level 2 quotes at IB come from Nasdaq. I wouldn't expect to get any sort of quotes from Nasdaq at 6pm. If there are still quotes there, I would imagine they're stale or wholly inaccurate. I checked with someone at IB, they said they're going to look into it. -Dust

ACE quotes aren't coming up for Futures and Options accounts. I've heard that it will be fixed tomorrow. (12:30 am EST). -Dust

Restore removes the changes you have made to an order without submitting. Here is where the problem lies: On Relative, Stop, or Stop Limit orders, when you hit restore, all fields will be reset with the exception of the aux. price. Please be aware: THIS IS DISPLAY RELATED. ORDERS...

An hour after the last post 740.2 was released with the fix. -DustPuppy

Anyone that has ever worked in technical assistance knows that, given a finite number of possibilities of where the problem is - and an infinite number of complaints, 90% of your typical problem will have the same answer. This isn’t the stone age where a punch card being partially folded...

Currently, you can only get it on the top 50 nasdaq stocks. IB is going to expand to top 100 and on from there. -DustPuppy

Last page, essentially, there was a post from a moderator that said to post elsewhere. As far as I can see here, in the grand hierarchy of things, that's the official administrative opinion. Is my supposition correct? This thread seems to be getting long enough and many points of view...

I think that was a pretty cold and uninformed comment. I'm not going to go into great detail of links and stuff, but IB's main website is FULL of support links. The idea that IB is saving on support (with national and international toll-free service, round the clock technical support etc.)...

Typically, during the week IB does reboots after 11pm (around 11:30). They should always be back up by 1am est (usually before that but never later than). Saturday morning, they remain down (nothing's open anyway) and they're back up by Sunday afternoon when Globex's week starts (4:30...

In the new version of TWS, the OCA name is all that is required to make an order an OCA. Otherwise it assumes that it is not an OCA. -DustPuppy

Intuit (the folks that make Quicken) has confirmed for the feature of downloading your statements with IB, you need a version of Quicken 2001 or 2002 to download the statements properly. The particular family (Deluxe, home) will only limit the things you can do with the information.

If you have gotten this to work, what version of Quicken were you able to update that lists IB as a valid Financial Institution. Thanks.

FYI: Most Futures accounts can now run 4.0. All Equities accounts should now be using 4.0. Also, If your account window does not show up properly, upgrade your 4.0. Any other questions - check with IB support about, but almost every TWS customer should be using 4.0 at this point...

Speaking from a purely technical standpoint, these are the strengths and drawbacks of the two: The standalone is installed on your local machine. You can directly access it from an icon on your desktop. It takes up more disk space, is subject to disk corruption/partial deletion and...

Upgrade should currently be there and through auto-download (start menu). Basically, anywhere you find an upgrade, it should be the right version.

Build 721 standalone is now available from both the IB webpage and from clicking on "update tws" in your start menu.
