IB-TWS Multicharts Updaters

Postby ilt000 » 01 Sep 2011

Dear Support,

Where can I find the latest updaters of the MC processes in order to make Multicharts works properly with the latest release of the IB TWS (918.9b)?

Many Thanks

I'd like to add two questions to this:
I was planning to update TWS this weekend to the version ilt0000 uses, but judging from his comment this is not a good idea?

A more general question is: does MultiCharts advise to update the standalone IB TWS as soon as there is a new TWS version available, or should we hold off updating TWS until a new MultiCharts version is released? If so, where can we find which TWS version is compatible with MultiCharts? (I couldn't find it with a quick look at the changelog).

Regards,
Josh

Knowing TWS's track record,
I usually hold on to the TWS version until it is no longer supported.

Unless there is a persuasive reason to upgrade,
my motto is: don't fix something that ain't broke.

Gee, I thought I was the only one who did this with TWS. I guess it was a much better idea that I realized.

Thanks for bringing up this topic. I'll hold off to automatically update my TWS based on the conversation above. My question is: have anyone encountered a problem of the latest TWS with MultiCharts already? Just curious.

No problem to report, I have been running it since it came out.....but TJ's observation / suggestion is very important to keep in mind.

No problems also on my side.
Yesterday I had some disconnections of MC with IB, every hour for 20/30 seconds but today I verified that the problems was on the adsl.
