Hey ... glad you got out positive. Ive traded YM four yrs nite and or day. And, of course, im watchin ES real close. During that time ive gotten stuck similar to you maybe twice. Also i never trade from TWS. i either use Zeroline or Book trader. If you want to be real careful: a. clean out TWS from your system. b. do the same with Java. c. then re-install. d. Might want to also run a disk check.
