TWS - Annoying tooltip problem on option chains

R

Ryan81

A while back, IB added an annoying tool tip that shows up on top of the Option Chain window, every single time I open an option chain. The most annoying part is, it covers up the tabs for selecting an expiration date. It's very frustrating to see this thing over and over and over again, and I have to wait until it goes away every time, before selecting my desired expiration!

I've searched and searched the settings, and could not find a way to turn that stupid thing off! Does anyone else have this issue? Has someone found out how to turn that off? This started happening to me quite a while ago -- probably more than a year. I'm currently using:

The most frustrating part is, I couldn't care less about their "Spread Templates". I just use the Strategy Builder for all of my spreads anyway.

The latest fuckery is "Cannot use label for complex combo .... for non-gaurantted order". Literally the spelling.

Certainly extremely annoying tool. I am not sure what was their rational to introduce it in a first place. Luckily, there are ways to switch it off with un-checking the box
