Interactive Brokers Expands The File Menu In The TWS Platform

Traders may now switch TWS versions to Stable, Latest, or Beta without signing out and restarting. They may utilize the File menu's Change Version command to examine what's new in beta or to compare the changes between the two versions.

Logout and Restart commands have been introduced by Interactive Brokers. Logout allows you to log out and back in without needing to search TWS and double-click to activate it. Restart allows you to refresh your browser without having to log in again.

A new “Restore to Default Settings” command has been added to the Restore Settings menu. If you wish to restore TWS to its original layout, use this. Your current layout is kept and may be restored when you utilize this function.

The previous production version of the platform improved Time Zone Entry for BasketTrader File Import and the TWS API.

The broker adjusted the time zone feature in the most recent version so that all product-related activities in TWS, including orders and algos with start and end times, will now utilize the time zone of the instrument's exchange rather than the user's time zone.

Users that import a BasketTrader.csv file or utilize the TWS API may now submit the date/time in a variety of formats:

• Using the Login time zone: This must be an exact match to the Time Zone declaration in the login box (the part following the (UTC-5:00) portion) with any spaces being replaced with an underscore. For example:

• America/Nome

• America/New_York

• Using the exchange time zone, for example, AAPL 20220614 15:00:00 US/Eastern

• Using the UTC format, for example, format 20220614-15:00:00

• No time zone: If no time zone is entered, the value will default to the Login time zone.

• The time zone value will be shown in the exchange TZ fields.

Remember that the TWS platform now provides new Crypto Plus trading rights, making it simpler to trade cryptocurrencies. Traders can turn on Crypto Plus trading rights on their account and get a lot of extra benefits on top of the normal trading rights:

• 24/7 cryptocurrency trading access via the Paxos web app.

• Four additional currencies to trade in addition to BTC, ETH, LTC, and BCH, including Chainlink (LINK), Polygon (MATIC), Uniswap (UNI), and Aave (AAVE).

• Transfer and hold USD in a Paxos account.

• Support for non-marketable DAY and GTC buy limit orders.

At Interactive Brokers, customers who trade EU stocks may now choose whether their smart-routed stock orders are only executed during regular trading hours or additionally outside of regular trading hours by using the Fill Outside RTH option. Previously, this functionality was only accessible for stocks from the United States.

When Fill Outside RTH is off, SmartRouting no longer routes beyond regular trading hours. This feature is available in all versions of most platforms, such as Desktop TWS, Client Portal, and IBKR Mobile.
