zzzap, I total empathize with you. I was also promised a refund albeit for a much smaller sum of money but a much more definitive error on IB's part (which is funny considering that the refund is contingent on me accepting that there was no error on IB's part - haha, I have the screen shot to...

A lot of people here seem to have all the answers, but in truth, the answer isn't all that clear so anyone who vehemently defends either side is at least partly talking directly out of their ass. In the end, there was a problem with IB (which has apparently been fixed) and really the only...

thanks for that. i thought your useless inconsequential and now completely incorrect dribble was enough reason for others to completely disregard your posts and here you go and one up yourself. i think its obvious from all your posts that your failure to achieve any remarkable success in 40...

Ah, I forgot, IB posts updates about TWS failures on elite trader so I should verify what some old goat is spouting off about when I've already had confirmation from desk traders that actually work at IB and a webticket reply that says such (and that I posted for you). Seems like I'm not the...

Why would I ever waste my time doing on a search for something that I experienced happening? Are you really trying to convince me that I'm mistaken about what happened to me? You're in absolute denial - sounds like cynicism brought on by senility (see I can play the ageist game too). As...

First of all I respect your comments on the issue. It appears from what you've said that you have been doing this for quite some time, so perhaps you may know some things a little better than me. Then again, I think we have very different goals as you've been trading for significantly more...

A stock is generally halted right before a significant press release. This is generally done to insure the timely dissemination of important information to everyone at the same time so that no one is able to gain an advantage via inside information (despite the fact that it is often trading in...

Never said I was looking for a 100% uptime. I'm currently working on a trading desk right next to the trading group. Even we (at the bank) have system failures. Hell even NASDAQ fails. However, the traders always get what they need when they need it - no 30 minute wait to exit a position...

Mobile trader failed as well. This was the day that QQQQ started selling off dramatically from the top (about 2 weeks ago) with no news. I was with the trend, I was long, and I had a 15% net profit. I only wanted to close and by the time I got through to the trading desk and sold out, I was...

Wow, I love how perpetual bulls can discount all reality. If the market doesn't care about all that, then why did it go negative on the year just 2 months ago? How about the financials, how great are they doing and how bright is their future? Oil prices dont matter? WHAT??? How does...

I think if you look at the extent of the disaster as it has already unfolded somewhat, your opinion would change a bit. Stock indexes are only indexes, they don't track every aspect of the financial world, though they do affect them (in fact, indexes being weighted towards only the largest most...

Just because the fed didn't cut (YET) doesn't mean that the rally yesterday didn't occur for that reason. Look what happened when they cut the discount rate weeks ago, same exact pattern: Market was about to fall into the abyss intraday, the rumor came out, massive rally to flat at the close...

So you're saying because your anecdotal evidence of your own high volume trading means that IB is fail proof? The fact is that it only proves that YOU haven't had issues, not that this isn't a possibility. I PERSONALLY have sat DIRECTLY in front of the screen using WEBTRADER and watched as...

Don't forget a dollar being printed more than crotch shots of britney spears!

I would definitely suspect IB of the problem. Been there with the run around, and got the shaft afterwards ("IB makes no guarantee...blah blah blah....you agree to maintain other means of reconciling positions....blah blah"). I use webtrader and in the past month have been hit with a few...
