Since IB is monitoring this thread...the worst problem I'm having is where quotes keep updating ( I can see them) but the program does NOT allow me to place orders! It keeps trying to "log in".
'Been happening every 1/2 hour and lasts about 2-5 minutes each occurrence.
I was so mad I even updated to the latest version on 1 computer (the one where problem was worse) but same thing keeps happening.

i'm running standalone TWS 854.7(dec 2005) which is pretty old.
having issues. on another comp paper trading running on 856(2006) same thing. connection was lost for 2 minutes couple times so far for last hour.
so-looks like it's not TWS version related issue and i hope -it will be fixed soon.miss couple good trades, but-it's ok.

Tried to buy that breakdown (about 10-15 minutes ago) on the CAD on IdealPro around 1.1384. Tried it through Booktrader than through TWS both times the order didn't go through. I was hitting the ASK.
Just so you know. There is SOMETHING DEFENITELY WRONG TODAY.
Quote from polpolik:
ECBOT / GLOBEX orders are slow as hell. I was trying to hit the bid or the ask and it waits at least 3-5 seconds before executing. terrible.
I called helpdesk. They said they had some problems but should be fixed.
