It is always easy to look back and say what one could have or should have done. I am not concerned about the new longs, they are small positions of a few contracts. What I am concerned about is that IB's bulletin states all is fine and that there are no issues at IB. They have know now for...

Yes that is exactly what I am saying. We had several short positions that were exited several hours prior. The new longs were taken on around 5a.m. at that time we had not received the news of the limit lock and in fact it was not until IB Switz tried several times that it was brought to my...

ES has been locked since approximately 5 a.m. this morning. You can take a long position but can not exit. You receive a note that you are outside the trade limit. When I was not able to exit I call Switz and they did not know? that you could not exit. They attempted to exit the trade both...

we have volume on most stocks, cl and ym future but no volume on es or nq futures most of the day we found the bid /ask was slow as many times we were in the money in a short position and the ask would not drop although we showed a profit in unrealized p/l. had many issues exiting 5 or less...

We also have been experiencing your issue. I have noted it in many posts over the last several months. We notice it here as we are very active in the market and notice our fills are slow or part or not at all. We are / were experiencing tws going down for some many minutes or seconds which...

we have been experiencing phantom orders again here since August. I personally have exited, checked my pending account and I show nothing to be later that day or next assigned. This happens in stocks and futures. On Friday I was flat the futures, check to ensure then a few minutes later I...

that is what I am saying. I did not realize there were 2 demo's with IB. we are a long time customer of IB with many accounts under several umbrella's. I was / am speaking about the demo ? papertrading account that is in real time. Unfortunately IB offers 2 types of demo's? Regardless, I...

\ I am assuming we are saying the same thing. Paper trading is still a demo. If I am wrong sorry for any misunderstanding but the simulated account the traders practice on says demo across the screen and is in real time? I appreciate the post and will check into it tomorrow as now...

IMO until the market allows shorting we will go down. Long sellers are now the reason the market is dropping. The market needs shorts, they produce a higher yield annually on stocks via short squeezing (stock appreciation vs value). Trades are now lost and trying to decide the value? imo I...

just a point of interest for those traders looking at IB or persons interested in trading. one of the good things about IB is that their tws demo is real time. If a new trader is about to go live at least they will have had good training with dealing with the real market. Part fills...

nq tested 2003 / 4 consolidation and bounced. based upon that bottom we got a good rally. I personally made most of my money today premarket and last 30 minutes of the day in the es and nq. but it was one hell of a day. seems the big boys want the consumer out and back into T-Bills, CD's...

yes we are frozen here also and have been for several minutes. several of the computers have come back on for a few seconds then disconnected again. we are still presently down but some of the remote traders are up so I am guessing it is the server again. same ol, market must be getting...

yes we have had issues with the simulator and tws we are presently down now and have been very slow all morning with being frozen just after open for approx 5 mins. IB is slow on taking orders and executing today. we have also had several part fills when the exit price is at the bid /ask w

anyone trading cl tonight? just trying to figure out if our bid ask is correct. the spread is up to 15 points difference w

I don't believe it is a ram or it matters in most cases the system. We have had these issues and more since the beginning of time. Not only with IB but with other brokers as well. We have a 5mg download and 3 out and our computers use very little of the space and we have issues. Traders...

we are mostly being froze out of playing but have had bid ask most of the day just not able to exit at the bid ask. same ol just before a short squeeze or drop. w
