I restored mine back to friday no problem --I am just not getting any data or anything I am done fooling with this for the night

Everyone is trying to log in at the same time and it is pointless

I did all that and it worked ---however no data and a red market data light---nothing zip---zilch I am just going to let it go for now. My positions are longer term and ok for now. Looks like IB has some sleepless nights coming. Plenty of pissed off people.

I am logged in with not data nothing all red 'market data light'

OK IB, Get it together already.

Is Currenex quoting in half pips for the USD/YEN or EUR/USD???

Incorrect, 5 million is just the standard max size you can get it expanded and they will let you swing as big as the system/market makers can handle. I know you could do 10 million maybe up to 20 pretty easily. Whatever you take out ---the market makers put it right back into the system. If...

you are correct! I believe FXCM offers Currenex through their Prop FX subsidy. How many brokers are offering Currenex outside the Prime Brokers? You clear through a Prime broker?? Correct??

hopefully, IB will be busy testing and fixing this weekend.

I have talked to DAV about it and called. Ib rolls back to a previous login setup from another day. I also called. They said the fix is coming. Everyone I know is having this problem with TWS logging in and finding all the quotes you saved gone and having to redo the quote pages or go back...

It's a living and a better one than any job paying 30% more in Corporate America. In fact, I would prefer trading for 70k a year than a Corporate America jobby job that pays 170k a year. Maybe that is just me.

Wo! So I just restore settings from earlier in the day?? They have a ton of money ---IB will get this fixed.

to make matters worse everytime I loose connection I have log in and re-setup my symbols ---because of that damn bug in the software. I have only been a customer for a year and in general love IB. Don't know what is going on. I know nothing about tech stuff. I just hope it DOES not continue.

I have trader status and have had it for years. I know futures tax accounting is a joke. So you are saying since I trade for a living and am a Pro-trader that any stock and options trading (no matter what the holding period) is taxed at cap gain rates. Cool. Cap gains rates on short term...

Q. I have traded for 11 years in futures and cash forex. Which are taxed at the 60/40 rate. I have started dabbling in stocks and options of late. I always thought as a US citizen. Any short term options gains there were NOT futures based were taxed at personal income (maybe it is short...

FWIW, I know a top broker (private client group) for a MAJOR house. I don't want to use the name. He has told me time and time again that his firm NEVER reports option income. He said it was a waste of time ---because so few of their clients make money trading them over the course of the...

everything appears to be fixed ---i think ---I stopped trading on my ib account for the day. We got some bugs here to work on IB.

It is not CME. U are right Ideal pro is on the fritz!! Quotes are all over the place.

Something I am noticing right now is that the EURO futures on CME is hardly moving and the Cash quotes on Ideal Pro are perfect. I wonder if CME is down???

They are releasing some bug fixes in the very near future. I had another freeze. Seems something is up. No problem calling in tho.
