    Not fixing TWS's myriad of bugs and annoyances, but on helping you become a more "woke" investor:

    "Now we've expanded our responsible investing offerings even more with the interactive Impact Dashboard, which incorporates a new data source from TruValue Labs that scores companies against the Sustainability Account Standards Board criteria.

    Use the Impact Dashboard to evaluate and adjust your portfolio to invest in companies whose responsible world view coincides with your own. Choose the impact goals and principles - like Racial Equality and No Animal Testing - that are most important to you......."

    Animal Testing I could go with but the Racial Equality stuff is just comedy. I wish IB would remain professional and tune back the cheap populism.

    TWS is such a joke. More issues today. Was told the other day by support. Try the "Stable" build.

    Nope!...Same BS there. And you know what happens? Nothing...I send screen grabs...documentation...I'd send videos if they had a way to watch them (answer...they cant, no direct files or links to youtube). So all that ends up happening is opening a ticket that sits forever or just ends with "developers are looking into it"

    I once (over 10 years ago) found a bug in TWS which was in the GUI but related to api orders, I took a video of it emailed it directly to the guy who used to handle api support questions who then showed it to the devs.

    They did eventually fix it.

    None of us have direct email contacts with the developers so dont have that opportunity.
     
  8. Recently, got many weird behaviors in TWS: bad display of numbers, very high CPU usage.
    My solution if you only use TWS:
    Right click on the Mosaic button at the bottom: select Close Tab
    Right click on the Learn button (new module) at the bottom: select Close Tab
