Thanks, this sounds great except for this part:

http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/1004/

"1. In accordance with market data vendor requirements, the account will be assessed a separate market data subscription fee for each user account added. In addition, user account market data subscriptions are tied to and cannot vary from that of the account holder."

So I would be charged a monthly market data subscription fee for this second account unless I use it to trade enough to meet the minimums?

Correct, however, IB Data Fee's are minimal, most are waived with minimal activty, so it becomes a moot point.

My IB data fee's are covered usually in one trade < 1 pip/tick to put it in perspective.

You can also subscribe to separate data subscriptions per username which keeps the cost even lower, if one desires. Of course, I don't advocate not subscribing to a data feed on instruments which one trades to save a few dollars.

I use MobileTWS more as a backup and monitor than an alternate trading platform. The convenience and peace of mind dual usernames provides is well worth the few extra dollars.

It is also good Insurance against technical failures by using an alternate technology [3G]. When you need to close a position and your ISP fails, you won't think twice about data fee's...
 
Thank you all for giving this Android Tablet optimized mobileTWS a try. I will try to answer as many questions as I can in one post

Problem with missing input field to enter email is addressed in build that we will post tomorrow.

1. Will the android MobileTWS have the same functionality/features as the iPad MobileTWS?

2. If No to above, which version MobileTWS will have the greater feauture/functionality set? iPad/MobileTWS or androidTablet/MobileTWS.

3, Is there a list of which devices are supported by Android MobileTWS/Tablet and Android MobileTWS/Smartphone.
[Similar to the different formats for iPhone/iPad MobileTWS]
[i.e. which application/format applys on a Galaxy Note II "PHablet"]

4, Will the Tablet MobileTWS support BookTrader?

Migrating away from IOS and the lack of MobileTWS support for Android Tablet has forced me to maintain iTunes/iPad. The news for Android/Tablet support is welcome news indeed.

1: eventually, yes, the will be on par

3: smartphone version will run on all devices, tablet version will run on devices with reasonably large screen, otherwise we’ll show warning; Nexus 7 is sufficiently large.

4: possibly, I don’t have set date for this yet


Does this differ from the mobileTWS app that's been in the google play store for months?
More...


Yes, it differs (same difference as for iOS tablet vs phone version); it is designed for larger screen; it shows different (more) data (e.g. some fundamental data points that we don’t have real estate on phone to render)

Thank you for your previous response.

Looking forward to the new app, waiting for Asus' release of their new fonepad, think this will be a nice combination. [combination of the nexus 4 & 7]

Q. What do I search for to find it on Google play ?
( Seaching for TWS or for intersactive Brokers gets me the regular mobileTWS, not the moileTWS for tablet. )

A. Cannot find while searching within Google Play, but googling the web brought me to an IB page with a like to get it from 'Market',
and apparently 'Market' is a pseudonym for Google Play.


Q. Does this work on Sumsung Galaxy Note 2 ?
A. No.
