    Anyone having trouble with TWS in entering orders? Every order I send either says "Cannot value contract at this time" or shows some very strange numbers (limit order at 619.000000001). Never seen this before, and just started 30 minutes ago.

    I deleted my post. Very strange. All posters showed times after 9 PM. I logged in to enter a reply about the times. When I posted the reply I saw all the times showed EDT times around 4 PM or so. I did a "back" function in my browser and found the original thread. Times were later in the evening. Must have something to do with the ET software.
