I've also been seeing these problems... (1) missing Last and Change columns and/or frozen quotes. I can usually fix this with ctrl-alt-T to...
Check your "Start in" setting under the TWS icon's properties. Make sure it says "C:\Jts". It sounds like it can't find the jar file because...
Have to agree with monti1a. Either use a simulator or trade 100 shares at a time -- and make sure you have a broker (e.g. IB) that doesn't charge...
Independent from work I meant of course... but if his wife is left supporting him while he loses money trading, he may soon find himself...
As someone with a family who recently quit my well-paying job to trade fulltime, I can understand the OP's situation. In my case I had been...
I went through my IB statement for yesterday and it looks like the min charge on partials resulted in about a 20% increase for me. Yesterday was...
I'm not sure I understand why the gaming problem isn't solvable but simply removing the max cap with each OID+VN. Why re-apply the min commission...

frost, you may be seeing a side effect of the russell re-indexing that occurs every year around this time.
You're swing trading some pretty volatile stocks with a big chunk of your account that's running close to the PDT limit. I'd recommend you switch...
cash, I think you ought to look at a 12month chart before you enter your swing trades. It might give you a better perspective of what you're up...
frost, I've been hitting the same problems as you the past couple days. I also had frozen quotes after TWS re-connected. The trick I used, which...
Down from 12:40 - 12:46 for me. Just came back up. Crossing my fingers.
Followup: just for fun, afterhours while still running the same TWS with the lost market data, I temporarily pulled the plug on my cable modem to...
SSB, it it happens again tomorrow I'll probably downgrade. This is only the second day so maybe it was a one-time glitch. I suspect what may be...
I lost quotes around the same time but still haven't gotten them to return. I run two different TWS for two different accounts, from the same PC,...
