IB bracket order problem with v865.5

The problem with IB is that they have too many programmers that have nothing better to do. All these new versions are absolutely useless, only cause problems.

It is ridiculous to have new version almost every week.
No other business can run like this. These programmers will take this company down. Save it before it is too late.


Solution: fire these programmers and save our commission.

Why don't you just open a ticket and downgrade to TWS 864. Sorry, but that makes more sense than posting at ET...

I disagree. I find these postings about errors in new TWS versions very useful.
If IB comes out with a new build i wait a few days or even weeks and follow the posts here on ET. I only update if a new version seems to be bugfree.
 
How many people actually use those TWS "features"?

I do everything through 3rd party programs -- I use Brackettrader as the DOM for order entry, and a Charting software for graphs.

I don't use any of these "new" features.

May be IB can put these new features in separate modules. Whoever wants them can download and install them on top of the basic TWS?

YES! a "TWS Lite" would be heaven.

I just upgraded to version 865.2 a couple of days ago, then to 865.5 today. Using the alt left click feature on book trader for bracket orders now results in the limit and stop exit orders being placed on the same price and not bracketing the trade. I emailed customer support a couple of days ago--no response yet. I was hoping that the bug was fixed today when I downloaded 865.5--no luck. I'm hoping to get a response from the IB guys on this board. At least tell me that IB knows about the problem and is fixing it.

This bug is fixed and posted in TWS 865.6.
Stand-alone build will be posted shortly.

How can we make IB publish a TWS Lite version?

Good question. Start by asking what 'Lite' means to different ppl. I mean, when you do use other tools for entry, charting and analysis, the only thing left for TWS is to act as a conduit between IB and the tools.
Otoh, some would find it awkward not to be able to view and enter orders in the brokers own interface.

Releasing modules for different tasks and let the user choose which ones to activate, is the best way to proceed for IB. Also for maintainability purposes, not having to release a complete new build only because there was a bug in the booktrader.

Maybe when a 3rd party would produce a 'core' app and more than 50% of the users were going to use it, they will listen.

Ursa..
