Just log into IB TWS for Mobile on your iPhone and you can check key account metrics and receive IB FYI trading notifications right on your watch.

Enable Glances on your Apple Watch


Glances allow you to see your key account metrics and the FYI badge showing you how many notifications you've received.

  1. Ensure that you've updated your IB TWS for Mobile app to Version 8.14 or later.
  2. Find the Watch app on your phone and go to Glances.
  3. The bottom list shows the Do Not Include Glances. Tap the plus sign to add TWS to the Include list. Use the Edit feature to change the order of the listed items to display on your watch.

Receive IB FYI Notifications


You can receive your IB FYI notifications right on your watch similar to the way you receive your text messages, but first you need to have them enabled on your iPhone.
