    Thanks Rex. Would never have considered using IB charts :)

    I'm guessing that was my first mistake.

    My second maybe believing I will actually get them to work right.

    Problem is I like using the chart trader function with buttons I have customized.

    What are u using or recommend for day / swing trading equities?

    Have u tried Buttontrader?

    Thanks

    Java blows. I refuse to trade on a java platform.

    But if you must trade on java, I suggest you uninstall everything java and download MS Virtual Machine. Even though MSVM is "off the market" you can find some downloads out there if you google for it.

    Then go to Tools/ Internet Options and make sure MSVM is selected and anything/ everything java (if they are still in there) is unchecked.

    See if that works better.
