Subject : TP & TWS for IB on AWS -- HOW?
Posted : 4/22/2015 8:05 PM
Post #35041

Hi,

Can someone help cut through the confusion--and outdated information--on this Forum to advise what are the "latest and greatest" best practices re:

#1) WHEN (what date?) will the TP (Trade Processor) be available in a co-location on Nirvana servers, with the rest of OmniVest?
This was promised as a top priority back in 2013, then repeated many times in 2014, then again this year. Exactly WHEN will it happen?

#2) What is the latest TP (Trade Processor)?
The one on OV web site is surprisingly OLD:
dated 6/24/2014 Pre-Release 3E (Build 1.3.14.0)
Is this really Nirvana's latest TP effort?
How is it possible there's no progress since last summer?

#3) Which version of TWS (Trader Work Station) works best with the TP to access an account on IB (Interactive Brokers)?
Going to IB's web site doesn't help, because IB now offers so many different versions.

--Most information on the Forum seems both unhelpful, not actionable, and woefully out of date!
Sorry, although using this Forum for 2.5 years, I find it now so inordinately confusing that I can't find the answer to this simple question!
The last post in "Interactive Brokers Related Issues" is dated 11/12/2012!
Until a recent post about order failures, the most recent post in "Interactive Brokers TIPS and HOWTOs" was 8/30/2014.

#4) IF required, which version of JAVA is required to run the proper versions of TP and TWS?

#5) Are all details of Angela's video about how to set up and run TP on AWS (Amazon Web Services) all current and correct?
--It seems this video hasn't changed since many months ago. So, maybe all is still the same. But, can someone confirm that following the instructions and steps in the video will get TP and TWS for IB working on AWS?
--She doesn't explain how to set up TWS for IB. Is there any source to find out how?

#6) Thanks to all users who have posted tips about technical details of actually using TP and TWS for IB on AWS!
Frankly, I find them both helpful and overwhelming (not being a techie). Is it possible that Nirvana could bring together a consolidated summary of all the Tips and Tricks, to make it possible for novices to get a Cloud process up and running more efficiently?

#7) Once set up, is it possible to access and manage an instance of TP and TWS for IB on AWS, using an iPad to log in?
-- While traveling soon, I won't have a laptop, and need to do whatever is required to manage TP from an iPad web login. Is that technically feasible?
-- Or, alternatively, can users who have succeeded in running TP and TWS on AWS, can it be expected to run without manual intervention being required?

Thanks to anyone who can provide insights!
