    Do you experience this problem?
    I have several option combos in my portfolio, and if I press on any of them, then press on another TWS intermittently freezes up, and I need to kill the process using ctrl+alt+del and restart TWS.
    It's been like that for some time now, TWS was updated several times since, but this problem persists.
    Tried to change allocated memory sizes - makes no difference.
     
  2. Have you experienced this with one TWS version, or have you tried multiple versions?

    I always use newest version as it updates automatically. Thought maybe it's just a bug and it will be sorted wen TWS gets new version, but after several updates it still freezes.

    How can you "press" on an option combo?
     
  5. TWS is awful. Yesterday i tried to set up a vertical spread. The whole process went so viscous and laborious. TOS is much better.

    I have option combo in my portfolio. If I want to sell it or expand it to see legs, I select it. As soon as I do that, TWS sometimes freezes up. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times selecting different positions in the portfolio to freeze it. It never happens with single stocks, but freezes selecting options combo's.
