Apologies for the delay in replying. Yes, I've long known that a 'real' programming language like Python was the Big Step I'd eventually want to...
Apologies for the delay in replying. Actually, I *do* have another computer that's still running the TWS version before last week's update broke...
I do. But, as I wrote above, any TWS installation file will auto-update itself to the current version of TWS, unless you download and install the...
Unfortunately, I can't -- IB doesn't make prior versions available for download. I.e. once they upload a new version to their TWS download page,...
Thanks for the replies. Any particular reason you say that about DDE? I've gone very far down each of the DDE and RTD rabbit holes...(very)...
Yes, the TWSSERVE thing is some part of the IB process / package. No, "accepting" the error doesn't work, it just generates this error popup:...
I use the "new" DDE socket-bridge API as well. I was hanging on to the legacy DDE for as long as I could but about 2 years ago, they finally...
I use DDE to stream real-time data into Excel. The latest update to TWS Stable (v 10.30.1l) last week completely broke the DDE Excel formulas that...
I'm on a hotel's WiFi but can't log into TWS at all -- after I enter my credentials, it just hangs at the splash screen saying "Connecting to...
widespread reports on twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=CBOE&src=typed_query&f=live CBOE down? EDIT: seems to be working again for me now at...
Yes, there's some widespread outage going on... no prices are updating on IB or other brokerages. Very concerning since I have no idea whether my...
This workaround seems to have hit a roadblock. Bought a new computer, set everything up and then used the same STABLE TWS Installation file that...
THIS WORKED (!!) Specifically, I opened the tws.vmoptions file in Text editor, and added the following: [IMG] Is this what you were advocating...
Yes, I shut my machines down every night, so they were booted up fresh, and only 1 of the 3 PC's I have auto-updated. Can't imagine why that would...
Yup it's the API that broke as well. Specifically order submission -- I can still pull market data into Excel, but the API order submission...
That is the single most dumbfounding IB Fail there is. Their updates sometimes have change logs, most don't, many exist but aren't actually linked...
Right, except that the current "Offline" version has been updated to the buggy most-recent Stable version...so good note for next time, but...
The most recent STABLE version (10.19.1f) of TWS is buggy as hell -- pretty much unusable for me -- but as best I can tell there's no way to ROLL...
@def, OP is correct: IB's KB, FAQ, how-to pages are indeed incredibly poor. Far below the standards of what any market participant of your size...
Talked to IB Tech Support, they said they've gotten a lot of reports today and are aware of the problem. No ETA for having it fixed, but working...
