Running IB TWS from a USB key

[BeeRy]

Hi,

I'm not always home and it would be a great help to be able to carry the TWS app on a usb key and run from any computer I connect to.

Is this possible?

I assume you've ruled out running TWS from the Interactive Brokers website (via Java Web Start: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/twsDisclaimer.php)

If so, then you'll first need a portable version of Java on your USB:

After that, you can try making a portable version of TWS.

Good luck.

The first option doesn't work in my office. I suppose because the company blocks it. I'll try the second option as soon as I free up some time. Thanks for these.

I have a feeling the second option will be more complicated. Has anyone tried this before?
