IB is down?
- Thread starter AMAT
- Start date
Quote from Htrader:
You need to upgrade to the latest tws. Apparently IB kicked in its forced upgrade a few days early.
Yes I noticed this yesterday as well. When IB says "Monday, October 10th" is the upgrade date, and then earlier TWS versions stop working on October 5th, it might be annoying to customers. Maybe next time, IB should double check their calendar.
TWS Upgrade
We have recently implemented new re-connect logic into our trading system that smoothly switches your connection between ISP providers in the case of an ISP failure. In addition, the new logic will keep track of orders in the TWS that a user tries to submit, modify, or cancel while a connection is down and resubmit these orders when the connection is re-established (the storing of orders will not work if you exit your TWS session).
This new re-connect logic will only work with an upgrade to TWS build 851 or higher. Since we believe this new re-connect logic is extremely beneficial to all our customers, we are requiring all customers who use the downloadable version of TWS to upgrade their TWS by Monday, October 10, 2005. As of that date, old builds of TWS will no longer work. To check your build, log into the TWS and choose Help/About Trader Workstation.
FWIW I upgraded to the new desktop TWS - kept the same Java and API - and I haven't seen any problems with my auto-trader system.Quote from Bob111:

scared to death to touch anything.
There are a couple new messages that show up in the Message Events and say something like "USA Server Farm Connection Okay" and "USA Futures Okay".
Other than that, seems to work about the same for me.
