That'd be a killer play, don't you think? You'd put TT in a situation where they can't win. Game over.
You mean the new book trader will recenter automatically without the posibility of not recentering automatically(being static)? As far as 1 click trading, has anyone tried to use something like AutoHotKey(http://www.autohotkey.com/) to write a simple script to automatically click the confirmation popup window?
I do agree that some posters mention that IB should fight TT in court, or even form an alliances to counter sue TT. Even since TT were granted with this patents, they have been milking on this. Look at their software, it's a decade before. I was going to try their DEMO on Win7 64bits, and it wouldn't install. The monthly subscription you pay for it is like a mortgage. OK. not a mortgage, a high end car payment.
I just installed TWS on new CPU, only to find this annoying pop up "order confirmation" on book trader. Fortunately, I have TWS 905 on other CPU. (I haven't updated TWS for over a year apparently, the updates tend to mess up other software that connects through the API (like bracket trader) because of changes in release notes etc., so I just stopped updating) TWS is currently version 907, and the oldest release download from IB is version 906, which still has the order confirmation pop up. So I used the C:\JTS and Java files from my old CPU and copied them on a flash drive and transferred them to the same file location on new CPU and got the old TWS with single click entry working on 2nd computer.(the files were around 1Gb) Unless IB makes updating mandatory, I'm in the clear. IB denied the feature poll to get rid of pop up confirmation. Oh well. An alternative to using Button trader, zeroline, bracket trader, is to find someone with tws 905.....
It's fast, but uncomfortable. Not to mention, that the popup shouldn't appear when you're trading non-US products because the patents can't apply.
