This is my low blow for the day. But seriously, LOL. They should fire their programmers AND their advertising people.
They have the goofiest platform in the business requiring far too many mouse-clicks, data entry, and validation steps. I could go on all day about these crazy quirks. But, ranting is not worth the effort. Thought I should share this with TWS users.
The emphasis in the ad is on "serious", I guess you did not get that. If you want many colors and something even a retard can handle or some wannabee who read investopedia for 15 minutes and now calls himself a trader then sure IB TWS may not be for such person.
TWS lets you turn off all the confirmations, and you can enter trades with a single click from many of TWS's trading tools, including trading directly from the chart, book trader, etc. I've never felt like I've been slowed down by TWS user interface.
working at a hft firm now? Or what else is there in Chicago again that relates to finance other than hft and broke ex floor traders.
