IB new features poll - suggestions for new classifications

[SideShowBob]

FYI: The following is done in jest -- please do not take it seriously

On the IB poll they currently have five classifications for status:

- Voting in progress
- Implementation in progress
- Implementation Scheduled
- Feature Implemented
- Suggestion Declined

I'd like to recommend adding the following:

- Feature Implemented and tested
- Feature Implemented, tested, and broke another feature
- Feature Implemented, tested, works correctly, and didn't break any other features
- Feature Implemented, TWS now drops market data
- Feature Implemented, new bugs cost customers less than $10K in missed fills
- Feature Implemented, new bugs cost customers more than $10K in missed fills
- Feature already exists, read the manual you idiot
- Feature already exists -- oops we didn't document it
- Feature won't work on a mac because you need two freakin' buttons on your mouse!!!

- Suggestion Declined, no reason given except we don't feel like doing it
- Suggestion Accepted, then declined, then accepted, then declined again (NYBOT on ICE.....)

Can anyone recommend any more status classifications?

well, yes, please include the following:

On the 'New Features' poll, please include, on the Start-Up popup box, when it launches 'New Version of TWS is Available', 'would you like to check for Updates?'...

to be changed to, on Startup: 'New Version of TWS is Available, but, it completely ignores all fixes, and even introduces New Problems, would you like to Check for Updates to New Broker?'

Also, I think the 'Retail' thread neds to be renamed the 'IB complaint Dep't'

I think we need a separate forum for that. Or maybe two or three forums?

Then again if they had one, we'd need at least five times that for Tradestation. And don't get me started on fills at TD Waterhouse.....or mutual fund trades at Scottrade....
