Yep, IB's TWS, 10,000 bells and whistles that few use......
Dumfuks?
Yup, unfortunately I had to give up on IB a couple of years back, too complicated, too buggy, too frustrating, too energy and time draining, too many data issues and also their crappy chart issues.
That and the constant Java updates, software glitching and crashing, became a nightmare.
It was not like i hadn't put effort into the exercise.
Was attempting autotrading, and bought 2 new Asus large laptops dedicated just for handling IB and SierraCharts, with multi monitors. All up was running 4 computers to handle everything, eg emails and accessing the web.
Spent hundreds of hours setting up the system but the constant fuckin' around largely the result of buggy IB forced me to throw in the towel finally.
When it came to closing the IB account, that resulted in more BS from IB, took a month to close account, was given the runaround again, nothing is simple or easy with that mob.
Was sheer relief when I was finally done with the biggest piece of rubbish and over complicated trading platform.
You'll notice on ET, there are more posts generated re IB than all other trading platforms combined. What does that say?
While everone desires simply to get on with trading, if you are involved with IB, it will be draining your brain with endless issues and sidetracking you from your goals.
