No one seems to mention IB's own forum and its Flash Chat: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=ibchat_bb Regarding Flash Chat, is it dead? I tried to open it but it's blank. Regarding IB's own forum, do you have any experience about them? Would it be better?

I'm just trying to help to improve the quality of IB and their software. I think IB should build a formal bug tracking system so we can report it in a way we can directly pass the case to the specialists who are in charge of it. The "web ticket" way seems to be too awkward and inefficient.

From my experience simple questions only. They simply told me to open a web ticket when the issue gets complicated. It appears IB has difficulties in redirecting the issues to a specialist who is in charge of it. Does it matter what categories I choose when I launch the chat? It appears I...

Yes and no. My issues are not too urgent so well... I have been waiting for months already. I would like to receive help from IB but not in urgent so I'm trying to learn the way how I can receive help from IB promptly so I won't be in a mess when the day comes. For now let's hear more...

I'm reporting bad ticks which are present in several charts. Fire up SGXNK (Jun 10) to see an ugly chart. Bad ticks again. Some stock prices haven't been adjusted correctly after splits and consolidations. Some have been reported for months. I have reported it in various channels (web...

IB has removed nearly all the unbundled vs bundled comparison when it updates the part of "flat rate vs volume tiered" for US markets. Take a look at Canadian, European and Asian markets. The tables are next to empty now. :mad: What's up IB? :mad: Why do you remove them when they still stay...

Not to say it would distract too much from trading. It's hard to calculate the right amount when the price is volatile. I think a proper sweeping system built-in TWS is the proper way to do. IB still lags behind when it comes to forex trading.

If you were charged a commission why don't we just do it ourselves in TWS? It has no difference, hasn't it? Or do they charge you without minimum commission?

Email them? :eek: Do you know which email? That's new to me. :p

What a joke! This forum has been hijacked and become the official IB help forum. :D Do IB representatives still wander around these days?

What makes you think infinity, amp, global have higher commissions than IB? In fact it should be lower.

So is there nothing else we could do? I sometimes think it's because we can't get in touch with the right person. That's why it takes like forever to be resolved.

Do you have similar experience like me? I created web tickets to report several problems/bugs in the past but IB seemed to be totally uninterested. No one bothered to respond to the issue. I even logged in on chat expecting to get faster response. He simply told me to report it by opening...

I agree with that. :) Traders who trade stocks/futures/options in various currencies can get residuals too so this "intelligent" way of trading may not applicable to all types of traders. I still wish IB would provide a formal channel for us to manually close out residuals without...
