Perhaps it will include the solution to the following: Some of you may have been following this thread on the SI/IB group. For those that haven't been, here are the relevant messages... http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16138294 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16138482 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16138703 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16142900 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16147134 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16147184 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16149716 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16152237 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16152449 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16155592 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16155699 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16161838 In summary, not only is IB giving me great commission rates and super fast executions, but also through staff like Def and Steve they are listening to those of us on these boards and implementing common sense solutions to some of our requests. Thanks IB JB
I just tried build 707 by following the TWS Beta Version link on this page: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/tws/aboutTWS2.html# There is a Transmit Page feature under the order menu. Also, you can set an Auto Logoff Time (yeah, we needed this). There seems to be a new order type (like market, limit, stop, stop limit) called Vwap. From the thread below, I believe this is only for institutional block orders. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=1832 -v
Babak, In TWS build 707 you can now move a quote line on a page by simply clicking and dragging the symbol. The new Transmit Page feature allows you to transmit to the exchange all the order lines entered on the page. This feature put us in a new league, because it allows to transmit a basket of buy/sell orders with "one click" of a button. For example, I can create a page with market orders for all stocks in my portfolio and then by using the "Transmit Page" feature, close all my long/short positions with "one click". For the "Transmit Page" alone, it may be worth to upgrade. Fohat
thanks guys, much appreciated I really like IB and as I've said many times I think they can potentially become a force to be reckoned with in retail EDAT....IF...they get TWS to become a simple, elegant and flexible platform. right now its still to clumsy, but they seem to be taking small steps in the right direction
IB is already a major force to be reckoned with in Program trading. Check the latest NYSE program trading stats at : http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/pt080201.pdf , IB is in the top 10 , in front of such giants as Morgan Stanley and Salomon Smith Barney. I am glad to see that TWS is constantly improving. Fohat
Just checked for TWS upgrades for the downloadable version. Build 707 is now apparently available. 99
the release notes are always available here : http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/User_Manual/Release_Notes/Notes_Index.htm [thanks def for pushing for this]
In checking out the thread at SI, I noted that one trader believes that he is getting faster executions using the web version of TWS as opposed to the desktop installed version. Has anyone else also noticed this? TNX, Jim
