def -

Will IB continue with the policy of restricting funds equal to the aggragate value of long calls and restricting shares associated with long puts (married puts) ?

Thanks.

Does this mean that US stocks or options could be bought in (for example) Euros from an acct in dollars, providing the 20/1 leverage possible with currencies?

721 is now available through the web trading.

Support told me that 721 will be available standalone in "a few days".

 

[vikana]

just downloaded. Works great.

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

 

[GeorgeSoros]

Yes. The new TWS is really cool and sexy with its new
account page.

All we need now is the IA for options and a trailing stop
(yes I know IB is against trailing stop - but I found the
management answer quite strange)

From which page can I download the new version build 721 Standalone??

On this page:
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/download/pre_download2.htm

there's an upgrade file tws40_upgrade.exe , this is not the 721 version....

I've clicked from the Start Menu on "Check for TWS Upgrades, and there's a message that I'm using the latest version of TWS. But my version is 712a


Thanks

dt-war, thanks for posting the link. The upgrade link should be upgraded later today.

as for the options questions:
if I rec'd the proper info, for long options you'll have to put up the premium, not the agg value of the stock.

as for stock 20:1 leverage - not a chance.

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