Same here, also even after using the retore settings menu I STILL have to go in and enter order defaults again and again...
It sounds like your tws.xml file cannot be overwritten. Make sure this file is not read-only or locked by another process. Also, I suggest you delete your settings.xml file, which is no longer used. To find the directory containing these files, run TWS, select a ticker row, and press ctrl-alt-U.
Is there anyone out there who never uses the most recent build of the TWS, but instead as a policy stays a build or two behind the cutting edge so there are fewer bugs to contend with (versus using the latest and greatest build)?
I'm still using TWS 854.7 from December -- I won't be upgrading until I'm forced to. I got burned by an upgrade and it cost me about $500 which wasn't a huge deal (it was over several accounts) but isn't a thing I want to repeat. I would upgrade more often but there are way too many undocumented changes that affect order handling.... SSB
I'm at 853.7 from October. It's stable for what I do, and I can live with the quirks I know about. I'd like some of the new features, but I have better things to do than go through a testing/fix cycle. I hope there won't be a need to update any time soon. This has nothing to do with IB - the same issues exist (for me, at least) with any tools I use.
sometimes i use 854 but scanner don't work well'n'its me treasure seeker..cudn't do without it. also booktrader colours not of me likin'n'not as clear as da ones i set up on newest versions..for da rest works just fine with less cpu usage'n'maybe more stability.
