I'm not talking about the myriad of popup warnings in TWS (which I agree, can all be turned off.) I'm talking about the warning that appears near...
I've grown tired of the stupid idiot warnings if you have filters set in the Orders windows.
Portfolio margin gives you a higher leverage ratio, so given the same positions, you are less likely to be autoliquidated/margin-called. The...
Yeah, my work-around for using it in the office is, using TWS in a vmware virtual machine that is connected to my home network via a VPN.
Pretty sure that isn't the problem, as the issue only happens in situations where I am other-wise affected by the "slowness" problem. But I gave...
As a side note, I also noticed that: When I'm in a situation when I am afflicted by this issue, if I try to use the menu in TWS "Account" ->...
Honestly, I think something is going wrong here with TWS's connection to IB's servers in some cases. At my office (where the issue happens for...
I highly doubt the exchanges will cut off their nose to spite their face. Think of how many market participates might just say "ok, I'm done"...

My employer's adventures in offshoring software development has been an abysmal failure. Horrible quality. Transient workers who are never there...
IB Stable updated itself again for me today, to an April 4 version. Still have problems with the "Orders" activity windows: 1. "Snapshot" column...
No problems for me right now.... But on the open (930am edt), TWS froze up on me, and after killing it, it took about 3 or 4 minutes before I was...
Wow, a guarantee! Can't pass this up! lol
Regardless of whether IB uses the "exposure fee" it collects to buy options to protect against tail-risk, or if they just keep the premium to...
Why does it matter to you if IB is using the extra exposure fee amount to either buy insurance against clients' risky bets going south, or taking...
For what it's worth, this is what I've seen... In a named watchlist, it seems to remember the column labels and spacing, regardless of which...
