Server changing IBKR

@def
Ibkr assigns each client to that server depending on trading preferencies. I would like to know if i can change server manually via TWS or Account Management or it can be done only via IB customer support. Thanks

 

I had to write in customer support to request server change.

 

How did you determine which server to change to ?

 

You ask around on chatboards to find the super secret really fast server with great fills.

 

Good stuff...thanks for that !!!
This could be the beginning of a new service offering.....LOL !!

 

There's US east coast, Europe (Switzerland I believe), Hong Kong for Asia and one in China as well. Change it to whatever is closest to you.
Customer support only, you can't do it yourself.

 

how do I see which is my current server

 

Click "Data" on the top right corner of TWS, what does it say under backups? "hdc1" is Hong Kong, I'm not sure what the others are called.

 

Thanks for those tips d08....
