I find the IB login process laborious, and takes too long. I need an option where I can rapidly open the app and trade. Any suggestions?
Turn off the two factor authentication. Use this program that keeps you logged in. https://github.com/ibcalpha/ibc
Is this a joke? Hey guys, I am looking for a front end and broker which lets me choose to have all text displayed in black. My current software does not allow me to do that, so is there anything else out there? Kind of pointless when other metrics that differentiate one vendor from another are a hundred million times more important. But good luck, please report back when you find another broker that offers everything IB does PLUS a fast login, would love to switch as well if you find one.
Or keep the damn app logged in. Very simple. Each time I wake up my machine in the morning my IB frontend simply shows as being logged in. I log in once a week after each weekend.
You are going about this ass-backward... The trading firm you choose determines the app(s) that are available to you and the processes the app(s) go through for login. Additionally, if you are given a choice of datafeed, that datafeed may further define app(s) availability and login processes.
Obviously he's at work, wants to log in, check charts, trade and hide. Or locked at home with the wife watching his every move. Android will leave App logged in, Apple won't.
