Anyone else able to log into TWS?

Never on a Sunday (well, at least not until just before the exchange reopens).

But, today is Saturday?

I dont know if things have changed but it used to be that you couldnt log in until Sunday evening. I dont log in on weekends so dont know if this is still true but I have not recieve any notices other wise that I can recall.

Oh ok ... I just wanted to poke around TWS, but I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow evening

Thanks for the help, guys.

LOL ... Here its Sunday at 10am.

But it closes after the major futures exchanges on Friday and reopens for their opening on Sunday afternoon (NY).

Im new to IB and tried signing in on Saturday. I use the API and wanted to backfill my charts b/c i wasnt around on friday. Is this always the case with TWS? When does it normally become available on the weekend?
