    IB Downtime Update - WIDE SCALE SERVICE DISRUPTION

    Steve, I used to be GM of a business unit responsible for operations and development of customer networks. In the event of a major outage any apology would reflect everyone from the MD thru customer service, operations, sales etc so I would argue that the entire management team would feel...

    IB platform confusion

    The easiest way to convert back to base is to close a trade so that the positive balance is in your base currency. I believe that the currency trading tool has functionality so that you can do this with each trade (ie if you buy 1000000 of eur.usd then you close with more or less than 1000000...

    Problems with IB TWS

    The only trouble with clustered servers is that when they go down (or the routers go down) it can be very difficult to figure out what went wrong quickly.

    When discuss "Trading" on this forum, mean day trading?

    Just one view: day trader --- doesn't hold thru eod swing trader --- usually a few days position trader --- longer up to your sort of timeframes and many variations on the theme (scalpers, daily swing etc etc). Vs investor who doesn't have an exit plan on entry.

    It isn't necessarily a racket Joab. I've been trading IB forex for a couple of months now and watching the futures on the main pairs at the same time. I also use Sierra Chart to derive cross rates from the futures for comparison. They track pretty closely with lower spreads on the forex...

    IB spread on USD CAD is poor

    Yes. Looks like MB is bullshitting. "The current bid/ask price for USD/JPY could be 107.20/107.23," Which is 3 full pips. Even during the asian session this is often 1 pip with IB (sometimes a half but not often and spreads to 2 pips at uncertain points). Hard to believe their others...

    IB spread on USD CAD is poor

    If its with IB is it 4 pips or 4 half pips? I kinda like getting half pip spreads (vs 1 or 2 pips on futures) for the euro usd earlier today. Check it against the futures. I looked at Oanda on Sunday open (an hour or so in) and the IB spreads rocked by comparison.
