what does this thread have to do with what IB does. what, are you one of their assigned thread watchers? i guess you're not going to take me up on the trading performance challenge there, sport.

if you don't like the thread, don't click on it. why are you bothering to read it??? $14m is a larger loss than i have ever had- frankly, i don't want to be prepared for losses like that. my trading method would not allow for such a loss as it would mean i ignored my rules and discipline-...

thanks for the post. THAT i did not know. i guess i need to look into button trader beyond the cursory look. although booktrader is pretty lame, especially the time it takes to modify size and other things, reality is that it has worked well enough for my needs and i have taken a 'if it...

you really do make stupid posts. obsessed? that's like saying someone who works for goldman is obsessed because they report to work every day. i trade the HSI for a living- it's my job. idiot.

thanks Joe. yeah, i NEVER trade anywhere near that close to the close- usually stop 30 minutes before as i have a tendency to lose my gains in the free for all at the close.. the one time i do, this happens- murphy's law. hindsight, i should have hedged with something. i was a bit stunned...

thanks for your input. yeah, i save those too when i think there might be an issue. i could fill out compensation tickets 3x per week and probably win between time and sale data, the log and the execution page evidence. reality is i don't have the time to fight over a few hundred dollars. the...

i don't think it was a late fill- that's actually my point. it got filled, part of IB's platform knew it, part was incorrect. if it was a late fill, it would have still shown as an order pending- it didn't. in fact, as soon as i bought the last 3, (you see it and you also hear it with that...

since i said i'd post the final figures, i will. mandle-whatever will, of course, pounce on it- like i care. i ended up down a bit over $15m- so, about 2m more than the loss from the error derived 3 contract long position. frankly, i was trying too hard to 'get it back'. part of this was...

exactly what i was thinking when readying his other condescending posts. thanks.

when you kick at somebody when they're down, you're a dick. you're either disconnected from reality/stupid to not understand how your condescending post was inflammatory and would piss me off or.... you were trying to piss me off. either way, you're a dick. this is not 'name calling'- this is...

hey Kiwi. hows the SPI and STW treating you? i don't buy into th exchange delay scenario. if that was the case, how come the trade no longer showed in booktrader? if ib had no confirmation from the exchange, then i'd have had an existing order sitting there in book trader, and i'd have...

ib's blaming globex. if so, then riddle me this: how come the exact same thing is happening with the YM?

you're kind of an asshole- no offence, of course. don't really need some a b c analysis from you. mountain out of a molehile- ib's fucked up data cost me about $14,000. i closed my position well in advance of the close. incorrect data caused me to end up long 3 contracts instead of flat...

actually didn't pick up on that. my bad. yeah, you've got a point but having the option to execute in a overnight session is something HK should have to keep up with every other major exchange. hell, even the fucking aussie has that covered. most of these are thin- i don't see it being an...

thanks for the replies- fucking nightmare. the reason i hesitated to hedge is that when this happened once in the past (not 3 contracts and my fault), i tried to hedge and the hedge actually made things worse. i could have hedged with the STW, for instance, and it hardly fell today. you also...

thanks for the replies thus far. i have been considering MG Global- have heard both positive and negative about them. i will call them back tomorrow and at least get the fee structure info. problem with button trader and the like is that they are still dealing with the ib data and, thus, ib...

i trade anywhere from 100-300 contracts per day between the HSI and the H shares futures. does anyone actively trade the HK futures with a broker other than IB? the few i've been able to look into have been HK based brokers with insanely high commissions (like 2-3x IB rates- which would mean...

i appreciate what you're saying, but i do not give IB a pass on this. there was clearly something wrong with their info- none of my orders even show an ID # during that period. this is going to cost me minimum $20,000. btw, they are still having problems with the HK server. i had a stop...

i usually stop trading the same time you do for the same reason. just amazing that i decided to trade late on the day i sized up and then IB data ends up wrong on my last trade- truly an unbelievable confluence of events. add in that it made me long instead of short and now the US markets about...

nothing like this has ever happened with IB. i've had my share of 10 second executions and the like, never anything like this. actually, IB has been very solid for me the past several months- until this. this is an awfully big hit though (whatever it ends up being, it's big)- may be time...
