Anyone here using thinkorswim?
Been looking at doing some option trading recently and been trying out IB's paper account - want to compare thinkorswim but can't get the damn thing to load.
Both full version and paper version just get stuck on "Checking for new version" or "downloading updates" with no progress at allĀ

Seem like updating Java software .. Now Java latest version is Version 7 Update 67 (32-bits) ..
For an IT professional, they will recommend to use the 64bits Java for better protection. It is FOC too.
Since u r in UNIFI 20MB and all other IE/Chrome/Mozilla web browser is function well, it is better to update yr anti-virus DAT
and run full scan after the latest anti-virus DAT update ..Always use latest computer patches by go to 1) my Computer,
2) right mouse click on properties, 3) click on WINDOWS UPDATE.. 4) Update yr WINDOWS.. If no virus threat and yr windows is latest version,
perhaps the application drivers/modules have been corrupted.
Uninstall Thinkorswim software from yr PC, restart the PC once and use internet/Thinkorwell CD to download/install it again..
Put yr Thinkorwell account and password again.. Special NOTE :-
Do not check on "REMEMBER ME or Remember my password or Save Password"
Always key-in yr passwords manually and fast hands in online banking ,online stock/options ...etc..etc Many malware / phishing / virus in internet nowadays..
