IB TWS Question

Quote from OldTrader:

I called IB customer service today about my problem. The claim it's an issue with Build 857.7. Evidently when TWS boots up it picks up a file from a prior day. They say they will be correcting this issue soon in a subsequent build.

I hope this subsequent build happens SOON!
 
Quote from OldTrader:

Several days ago I changed from April gold to June gold. No problem. The following day when I reopened TWS, it had April gold. So I switched to June again. This has now happened several days in a row. I've noticed that it happens with any new symbol I enter. Further, it reenters any old symbols that were deleted (like April gold for instance).

Today when I opened TWS it happen again, so I restored settings from Friday. That worked.

Anyone having this problem? And if so, is there a fix? For what it's worth, I'm using Build 857.7, the latest build as far as I know.

Thanks for any info.

Same here, also even after using the retore settings menu I STILL have to go in and enter order defaults again and again...
 
Is there anyone out there who never uses the most recent build of the TWS, but instead as a policy stays a build or two behind the cutting edge so there are fewer bugs to contend with (versus using the latest and greatest build)?
 
I'm still using TWS 854.7 from December -- I won't be upgrading until I'm forced to. I got burned by an upgrade and it cost me about $500 which wasn't a huge deal (it was over several accounts) but isn't a thing I want to repeat.

I would upgrade more often but there are way too many undocumented changes that affect order handling....

I'm at 853.7 from October. It's stable for what I do, and I can live with the quirks I know about. I'd like some of the new features, but I have better things to do than go through a testing/fix cycle. I hope there won't be a need to update any time soon.

This has nothing to do with IB - the same issues exist (for me, at least) with any tools I use.
 
sometimes i use 854 but scanner don't work well'n'its me treasure seeker..cudn't do without it.
also booktrader colours not of me likin'n'not as clear as da ones i set up on newest versions..for da rest works just fine with less cpu usage'n'maybe more stability.
