IB's TWS on Netbook

[TraderSU]

Is anyone running IB's TWS on hardware like this?

My guess is that hardware should not be a problem. I'm more worried about usability limitation due to small screen i.e. 1024x600.

Thanks in advance.

I dont know about TWS, but I run NinjaTrader on an Aesus netbook and it does fine. I would go to one with the 10 inch screen though, which is what I have. It is small, but workable, especially where I have to use it.

Works fine, no problems. You can also connect an external monitor (at least up to 24") to your EEE PC.

Great Your feedback is very helpful.

TWS crashes on my computer at work if I start it along with other apps.

Ninja Trader does not work on my Asus netbook.

Some screens do, but NOT the one for foreign exchange - it is too tall.

Can you increase resolution from the standard 1024x600

Not unless you plug external monitor.

Has anyone tried TWS + charting (like Quotetracker, Sierra Chart etc.) together on it for trading
