I have TWS working on Linux, but each time I restart, the column widths and positions are reset to default. This happens for the watchlist and the time and sales window. How do I make remember? I'm using mosaic, archlinux, KDE.
TWS on Linux
- Thread starter Possiblytheworsttrader
- Start date
I have tried to save the workspace before, still reset. Any idea where it would be saved?
Which JRE and java version do you use?
1.8.0_66
I've always had that selected. Just tried unclicking it, no change.
In case you use OpenJDK. Change to Oracle Java. Fixed my problems.
So very important. I couldn't even get the login window to display properly with OpenJDK, and had massive memory leaks if I dared to touch charting at all. I was surprised to find TWS to be actually usable when I switched to Oracle's VM.
Me too, saving on server helps a lot, especially since I prefer fresh installs to updates. I'm surprised this isn't enough to save column widths in your case. I don't use the mosaic but still, a few ideas:
1. Are you using TWS on more than one monitor, or computer entirely? If one has a different screen area than the other, it could have an impact when you come back to the first one.
2. Is this a paper trading account by any chance? If so, see if the problem also occurs on your real account. I suspect they might routinely clean out non-essential data server-side in paper accounts.
3. Is the affected window(s) open when you shut down, and automatically re-opened when you restart, or are they things you open after TWS is already going?
