    don't know about ES, but on some stocks quotes are not updating, no data lines for 5-10 min after you enter ticker into TWS.
    how i suppose to trade, if there is nothing, but #shares i'm holding and some bogus PnL. no bid,no ask nothing..
    it's happens on every machine,regardless to TWS version or java. those are plain computers with only TWS installed on them. no updates, no upgrades been made on my side for months. all of sudden i'm having this shit everywhere.
    yeah, problem is on my side..right..

  3. IB charts are not very good. Use QuoteTracker with the IB data feed. I have no problem at all with ES, NQ ER2, YM, EMD charts or any stock charts on QuoteTracker today.

    well..i agree-they suck, but i'm using them from time to time just to take a look in T&S. don't know wtf, but many times after "loading" of real time is complete, you can only see 1 bar-current.
