I want to throw TWS into the dumpster; so slow NOW and I can't use older builds

TWS is a poor choice for intraday trading. Don't handicap yourself.

As for the future, it will likely be browser based because they are cheap. It will only get worse.

Yeah thats what i meant, the built in TWS charts, rather than another charting package. I don't use charts myself as i only use the API.

Have you spoken with IB customer support?

Do you know of anyway to use a build like 978 without IB blocking it?

Even if you could hack the version number in the code, this is not a long term solution, could break at anytime on a server side upgrade, as eventually there will be communication incompatibilities between the old client and new servers. The new servers just wont work with the packets the old client is sending over. They will be missing new required fields.

Havent used the newest version, so can tell you if its slow for me.
Heavy charting is not TWS's thing.
They dont optimize for that

Yeah but it is always sad when a previously working fine version of software degrades to the point of being unusable.

My guess is the developers at IB fucking things up. Cant really blame them, TWS is probably Spaghetti code at this point.
