MetaServer The other interface to use between IB and TS2000i is: http://www.tssupport.com/addons/ms/ I can highly recommend this piece of software. All the setup steps are described with the software.

Alternative to TS2000i This maybe a good alternative to TS2000i (and is supported as well): http://www.tssupport.com/products/multicharts/

Yes, I tend to agree Neil. Take a look at this link: http://www.moneytec.com/forums/search.php?searchid=424792

I keep getting emails from a crowd called "Inner Compass" who are promoting a seminar by Win Investing LLP (WinInvesting.co.uk) and Darren Winters. I am putting this post in as when I have previously tried to search for "Win Investing" it did not return this and related threads.

Alientrade, You are correct about the taxation of non-domiciles - you will be only taxed on that part of your gain that you repatriate to the UK.

Black Panther, You can set up a secondary login (additional users) to your IB account via the account management screens (Account administration / User functions) which will allow you to have IB running on separate computers at the same time.

It is fairly straight forward to setup. You set Global Server to DBC Online and then install Metaserver. From memory, the Metaserver install will integrate whatever is necessary with Global Server. Global Server has integration with a number of datafeeds, but those it doesn't, require a third...

PTCM, You have to pay a one off fee for Metaserver, but the data from IB is just about free (only exchange fees, which are fairly minimal). I used to use eSignal with TS2000i, but now save myself £160+ per month with IB. I ran both in parallel for a while and couldn't spot the difference...

More information on Metaserver is at: http://www.traderssoft.com/ts/msrt/ There is a Dynamic Data Exchange version of Metaserver, which provides a generic interface between a DDE datasource and Global server. I use the Interactive Brokers version of Metaserver and can highly recommend it.

Unbundled vs. bundled pricing I am trying to work out if there is a downside to going across to the unbundled pricing. I daytrade SMI, FTSE, Dax, YM and ER2 futures (all positions closed by the end of the day). It appears that I would halve my costs for trading the SMI (Soffex) by going...

Strangely, after having been told that I needed to supply (repeat) identification documentation by IB in the UK, the additional login was activated within a couple of hours (without me supplying any additional information). I can only conclude the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is...

The link to the latest version is here (2.3.0): http://www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/5501/31876.html?1133515771

Has anyone else tried this? I wanted to set up a second IB userid, which can be done through the account management section of IB's website. This will be in my name, for my account, which has been open for a number of years, but they are requesting a full set of id documentation. When I have...

Thanks Ken. This looks a nice piece of software. For completeness (and for anyone else who may view this thread) I have discovered more on this topic at: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TWSAPI There is a link to files and within there a topic on Auto Login codes. This section also...

Is there any way that I can start the IB TWS application automatically (complete with the correct login)? I am using IB as a datafeed into TradeStation 2000i, and there does not seem to be anyway of preventing IB from logging out (can only adjust the logout time). I am looking for a way to...
