Get new java to speed up TWS IB

scriabinop23 · Nov 15, 2006

Just wanted to give a heads up...

Java release candidate 6 (from sun's java website) is incredibly quick and nimble compared to the previous version. TWS flies, and charting is practically zero lag.

Do you need to remove your old java before installing?

it's you.

charts do seem quicker. Still takes like 30 secs to load up TWS though, which seems like an eternity .
