Charts freezing/slow to load when zooming in/out

Anyone else experiences this from time to time when charts are slow or the whole TWS is freezing or takes time to run, it doesn't run smooth in a sense and I have to restart it for it to work again.

I want to see if it is a TWS problem or if its my PC that is slow so that I replace it

Thanks

 

Your pc is not slow. Just IBKR servers are bad and they don't admit it. They mean our connection is bad... Somehow there are bunch of people here or discord suffering slowness of TWS!

 

I see thanks ! I thought its my PC.

Yea they have to fix it :S

 

I guess everyone with an account is logged on. U.K. brokers have stopped opening new accounts due to demand. Plus 500 cfd provider business is up 500%.

 

That would explain it. Too bad they were not prepared. It will cost them in the long run.

 

what do you guys mean? lots of users at the same time their server cannot handle it?

 

759,000 users all wanting charts at the same time. 39,000 accounts added in March.

 

Oh damn.... where did you see these stats?
