  1. the DOM is showing what IB is returning so it is not a bug. IB in their infinite wisdom do not include everything via API that they do on their own Level II.

    the situation when you open and it scrolls to wrong place - same thing - screenshot Level II at the same time (maybe just set them both to same linked color so they switch together)

    I would recommend using dxFeed Level II data instead for active trading.

  2. you have something wrong with the data. The bid/ask are messed up. What source is selected on the MAIN tab?

    Also, just FYI - you do not need to scroll. double click on center column should get it recentered automatically 

    You have Unrealized P&L showing, which is for the day. The unrealized GAIN would be the GAIN $. you can click there to change what is shown.

    SHORTCUTS - Having plain letters available for shotcuts is VERY problematic for us. NOTE: you can use SHIFT LETTER (SHIFT A, SHIFT B etc) or most function keys. 

    fields on tabs - if a particular field, like QTY or symbol is frequently needed and you want to access it without having to open toolbar or switch tabs, you can right click on the field on the toolbar and select "Add to Quick Access Toolbar".  Symbol cannot be added I think but the QTY can be. might need to right click on the little arrows on the right side

  3. Schwab is restricting access to a single connection per login (which is problematic with all accounts on one login). Thus the authorization stuff you are seeing.  Here is a way to get around that:

    1. On each of the 3 computers, save your Layout (FILE/SAVE LAYOUT) and then close ALL MT Windows (other than the dashboard)
    2. Close MT on all 3.
    3. start MT on one of the PCs, Load Layout (FILE/LOAD LAYOUT) and login to Schwab.
    4. Go to FILE/EXPORT, Select JUST "User Settings" in the list and select "For <your email> Account Only" on the right side for the Export File Protection
    5. NOTE the location of the file that will be exported.  EXPORT The settings, and copy the file to the other 2 computers
    6. On each of the other computers, start MT, select FILE/IMPORT and import the file you copied in step 5
    7. On each of the other computer, select FILE/LOAD LAYOUT and select the layout you saved in step 1.

    Now as long as you login to Schwab on one of the computers at least once within 7 days, it should be OK.  However if you get a full login with Authentication again, you would have to do the steps again. 

  4. the STOP price does not look right in the hotkey. should be an offset. My guess is IB is adjusting the value and thus the prompt. 

    I need to get the log file to see the details. Please do the following:

    Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio)

    And add this Post’s URL in the comment.
