Do you know they have this "adjustment for quality" thing with the CPI meaning that your computer today is supposed to be 100 times cheaper than a computer 10 years ago after adjustment even though they're selling at the same price? This is because the "quality" of your computer is 100 times...

This is so wrong... many IB customers are pro traders operating daily in multiple markets with some serious money. This is really fu*king things up... I have to changed everything to manual today juggling with all the different entry and stop levels... this is getting stressful... Gee... this...

Nightly reset would fix theproblem? Sounds like they don't know what the problem is... damn...

gee looks like the $150MM aggreate is actually for all IB customer accounts... in that case the insurance policy doesn't seem assuring at all...
