Q: How do I log on to my Traders Workstation When I dont have My Computer.

A: Imagine its a gorgeous summer evening and you are sitting back in a nice comfy chair on your friends deck after a wonderful meal and couple of bottles of red, then, in the background you hear some news on the TV, (remember traders have superhuman hearing when it comes to economic news) you jump out of your chair and scare your hosts half to death.

You hurriedly ask if you can borrow a computer for a moment as you have to sell out of a trade, you are going to need a link https://wt1.interactivebrokers.com.hk/webtrader2/servlet/login.

The TWS Platform looks completely different to the one that downloads to your computer, so we recommend that you practice and familiarize yourself with it, before you end up in a situation where you need it in an emergency like this, and remember you will need to have your account login details with you or have commited them to memory.

Be careful as this kind of situation can be contagious and you may end up getting your friends involved in the exciting world of trading.
