    I am having troubles with TWS 865. I had to download it this morning and it took 6 minutes to come up. Once up it lost the connection to the server several times this morning.

    I run TWS from behind a firewall. I tunnel through the firewall with an SSH tunnel to my home computer. I have been doing this for some time with no problems until I started using TWS 865.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

  2. Go back to 864.?. No problems with it today.

    I am running this on a Linux box. I just downloaded TWS 865 on a laptop and ran it over the same connection. It ran great.

    There is a bug or some issue with the Unix build.

    I hate the new look - like for small kids... I'd love to see IB TWS to stay as "raw" as possible.
    FX trader is great though....

    No real issues. Only one is that every time I log off, it asks if I'm sure because I have an open position. I suppose it's the .48 YEN that I have in the account for months.

    :-/

    But I like the new look.
     
  6. new icons are atrocious imo. much better the old one...aside from the chart and market icons the rest is a fist in the eye and not exactly very well designed.

    I use BookTrader for YM futures and always include a bracket with my orders. Under 865 the stop order is created at the same price as the limit order which caused shorts that I initiated to be closed immediately upon being filled.

    I went back to 864.7 and everything worked fine as before.

    This is a bug and will be fixed in the next Beta.

    I'm all alone with my bad taste. :(

    OK, the Booktrader Icon could use a rework.
