IB Suggestions & Improvements

Quote from illiquid:

Wasn't there a function where if a new high or low price was hit, the price text or box would flash a different color? I thought I saw that a few builds ago but can't seem to find it anymore.

- Highlight high or low for the day
 
Please make the Avg Pri Column and Cum Size Column in Market Depth Window removable. I don't use these two columns but they are just there wasting my screen space and distract me.
 
Quote from Bitstream:

on booktrader size on bid/ask when either lifted'n'hit or not, don't disappear...if don't refresh [re-center], the columns keep all those numbers forever and the cumulative size shown on top becomes a joke..nevermind da misleadin' aspect of it.

can somethin' be done 'bout it?

thx

Tie the alerts, bulletins, messages to the main TWS window, not the primary monitor.

When you have multiple screens and can't transmit/cancel etc. because you have to close out an alert, bulletin or message it gets very costly to find it, move your cursor all the way across multiple screens, and cancel it, move all the way back over to TWS, and then cancel/transmit etc.

If you have other programs that are pinned on the primary monitor, the alert, bulletin or message will be hiding underneath...and the time & cost get even worse.

We are aware of the problem and are working on it.

It's now been three days, I thought when I was prompted to do a major download of tws this morn it would be fixed. But the bid ask prob on booktrader is still there.
 
here is my story. yesterday i was about to transfer money via ACH from IB to my bank. it was joint account. i login into account using firefox(don't know, if it make difference) and click on option "create instructions". but because i was lazy and don't write down bank acc # and ABA i simply open in new window my another account, log into it and get to the page where you can view/modify/delete instructions for ACH transfers. i copy and paste acc# from this account into account,where i was creating instructions, click next or whatever it says on button. did receive conformation token,but then-@ final step of creating ACH instruction error message says-"instruction with this name exists".
hmm...aa, hell with it. add 1 at the end and go to another step,where is agreement was. down to the bottom of the page and about to put electronic signature, but there is only one, with my wife name(remember-it's joint account).hmm..alright-copy and past her name, to get to the final page, where is all info is -names of account holders,username,acc#,amount,bank info, etc. and there is surprise for me-top of the page clearly shows that i'm in our joint account, both names and account # on top of the page, but on rest of the page all info is from another account. and transfer is pending not from joint account, but from another one,with single owner:D
how about that? i have all screenshots of this mess,because i never seen something like this. have no idea, what may cause it.

anyone ever seen something like this?
Thank you!
