why doe IB's TWS eat up an extra 200 meg during the day

I need more memory, so it can eat up more of it? Yes, thats the ticket.

Dude, nothing TWS is doing , especially of you are only using the quote screen and not the other embellishments , needs 350 meg.

Comprende?

The same thing happened to my buddy in TWS. Too bad he did'nt know what was going on because it was spyware or hacker code that he mistakenly or unknowingly downloaded and they ended up cleaning out his account.

It took them three days to do it and that's why for three days his memory usage was going up all the time--the hacker(s) were trying to figure out how to rip him off.

I'd get that all checked out if I were you.

And just how did they get their hands on the money?
 
Still farked. Eats up all allotted memory then hangs with 99% cpu usage. Takes a few hours to happen.


Am I the only one so fortunate?

Cause I know if I call they will tell me they never heard of this problem, except once in 2002 and that was user error.
 
I use a lot less stuff I suspect.

tws 865.7 api 9.0 java 6

But if you want to get it to "contract" again try this.

Option 1.
Open your TWS windows. Then minimize them. Then open again and u should be at start point of memory use.

Option 2.
Download FreeRAM XP Pro. When you run it it will force tws to give back the "spare" stuff its holding for just in case. Run it as lightly as you can or it will slow things down as they have to regain the memory they gave back.
 
But FWIW, I got rid of every problem I had by ugrading to a Core2Duo E6600 with 2G of matched 800MHz RAM. Fast. Who cares about 200M anymore (I run Sierrachart on a ram disk just to reduce disk wear). Reliable as you could want. :)

Whens the last time you did a raw clean install of the OS and all programs?

Yeah, I do that usually once every two weeks, but I've skipped the last 104 weeks.

Just lazy I guess.

Interesting. You ask for a solution for a problem interfering with producing income yet remain the smart ass. Next case.
 
I am getting the same thing, has only occurred since the forced upgrade. Quotes just stop moving after a while, minimizing fixes it. No charts or any other extras here either, just a list of quotes.

Anyone have an idea if they are already looking into this issue?
