Post From: IB confusions

Hi,

New client--I set up yesterday using your IB settings to access IB data but had intermittent weird problems, and the PC I just bought to work Sierra on with 16 GB ram/i7/Win10 seems unduly bogged down working an IB instance simultaneously. Given your company's recommendation to work with
Sierra data feeds directly, I'd like to try that, and either do orders through you if possible (which I can't figure out how to do at all, after spending a ton of time with your docs) or do my orders separately on TWS directly, whatever you suggest.

I have quite limited, exclusively U.S. futures quote and trading needs, market depth as possible, for:

ES/NQ/YM/Russell 2000 (including MES/M2k/MNQ/MYM), VIX/VXM/VVIX, and all associated options.

I can probably use TWS for other quotes I use that I don't trade, which include gold, oil, silver, long bond, and a dozen misc stocks or whatnot that I may want to look at here or there.

Can you please help me? I'll probably be fine if you just tell me what to do and point me to the docs. I know I have to undo the IB connection somehow, but otherwise have no idea what else to do. I would much prefer routing orders through you if possible.

Thanks, -S.
