Unofficial TWS bug thread

" it would be also nice to disclose EXACT algo that would lead to customers orders modification."
you must be joking. the response will be they are changed dependent on the situation.


when you miss an execution because of this situation you will not be expressing yourself so calmly.

well..if it's required by exchange(as it says on the message)-it would be safe to assume that there is should be some defined 'rules',specifying, WHEN your broker have to modify your order. i like to know them. i'm asking too much?

Risknav not working on downloaded app for OS X. Futures options combos not working on browser-based.

We know of one problem in TWS on OS X, it was already addressed in beta; we are refreshing other builds today. If beta still has an issue with risknav please PM me details and do command-alt-H + write "Att: Dennis", thank you.

Re combos - it would be helpful if you report this problem using regular channels, have you tried that? Thanks
 
That works, thanks.

Todays bug is in account management, using all versions of google chrome for windows. The third line of menus eg, manage account, security, iprestrictions cannot be read as the text is cut in half. This is the same for all third level menus in chrome.

I'm using latest Chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m and I cannot reproduce this problem; please create new ticket (under Support - Message Center - "New Ticket" - Create) and post details there, thank you.
 
Edit->Global Configuration

Information Tools->Scanner->Scanner Layout

Agree that it should just save your customizations.


Quote from Bob111:

out of curiosity tried scanner this morning. same exact thing that demonstrates the level of IB's programmers. basic common programming practices are either not known or deeply forgotten at IB.along with basic Q&A .
you open up scanner- with default columns . you add for example last price column,volume-make it the way YOU like. press search-everything worked. now-you modify your search criteria and press search again-settings are gone and all you can see is those same default columns. every time you press search-your settings\columns are gone. ok..that's not all. since i'm a bit 'advanced' user-i quickly found button-save\load template. aha! now i can save my scanner page setup with all those columns! saved it,closed scan page-> open it-load template->same default window. my column aren't there. :p
boy oh boy..and those people actually get paid for such work?

my offer of being in Q&A is still standing. i don't know how much IB is paying those kids,but i can do this for much less,working part time. hire me for your own good :p

it has been an ongoing issue since december 2010. global configuration will change nothing. the programmers know about it. they are working on a project involving the scanners. as part of the upgrade bugs involving the layout will be fixed.

check it out intermittently with global configuration. some day you will be pleasantly surprised. perhaps they will make an announcement.
