At the risk of being redundent...

Yes it lacks time stamps and there are implications to this.

First off tickPrice and tickSize do NOT pulse concurentley.
Early on with my developement I crafted a TOS (time of sales) grid.
When I logged on to try it out, the size and price columns quickley
got out of sync.

Both tickPrice and tickSize only pulse when there is a change. To do
so otherwise would in essence make IB a data provider.

I for one do not want to see IB turn into a data provider.

I simply included an ActiveX component from my data provider and was
able to bring in a secondary feed. I can now print a TOS grid, and
compare Last from two sources if desired...

Re: Past IB TWS Version Archive

marinindextrader
 

I think this is a fine idea and these could be put in the files
section.

We should not do so without the express approval of IB though. Anyone
who has retained prior versions, please email IB Management prior to
posting.

IB Management Direct Email: ibmgmt@...
<ibmgmt@...>

I've seen several cases where people upgraded to the latest and
greatest and it caused problems for their trading setup or software
setup because of bugs or incompatible versions. I've lobbied IB to
add the past few versions in a spot on their web site or on FTP,
but
no action has occurred to date.


Re: Improvements & Bugs Lists

marinindextrader
 

The yahoo boards do allow polling....but here is the rub...

They require that the email list of the group be made public outside
of the board...

I opted out of that option out of respect for the privacy of the
members...

Give it some time and we will collect and archive improtant things in
the files central depository...

One thing i do on the yahoo board i run, is when a new member signs up i
approve him/her(It?). Theres another setting that when you approve that
allows you to approve each msg that person sends. After seing that this
person is indeed interested in posting on said topic of group ( usually the
person will send a email and i get notified i need to approve it to pass it
onto the group) i remove the restriction on this persons posts for all
future posts. What this does is lets my group be 100% free of spammers which
means my members dont get lots of annoying mail. Perhaps a viable option for
you.

Knyyt

I will take exception in this case to this post. Any commercial posts
will be yanked....
I for one would like to see a commercial posting of a new available
product. IMHO, once is news, repeated infomation on same topic then becomes
spam. JMHO,

Jeeze. Competing interested are completely off topic.

And Cybertrader is garbage.

Past IB TWS Version Archive

tripack44
 

Something I'd like to see this group put together is an archive of
say the last 3 versions of the IB TWS in a spot that is accessible
and organized by version number. This way we can install a certain
version without needing to be on the bleeding edge of technology.
I've seen several cases where people upgraded to the latest and
greatest and it caused problems for their trading setup or software
setup because of bugs or incompatible versions. I've lobbied IB to
add the past few versions in a spot on their web site or on FTP, but

It's good for public message boards to be run by extreme optimists,
whether the optimism makes any economic sense or not. :)
