if someone really intends to buy or sell a large block order they will either just do it (not place it five ticks above or below price to advertise to other algos/traders) or they will conceal via iceberg or algo program to acquire a real, legitimate position. This is pure manipulation, and...

and when you factor in how much i am paying for data that keeps going up every year (and they keep changing subscription packages to get more revenue by making me pay extra for one item i use by bundling it with another bigger bundle to get more money) and the amount of commissions they get at...

And other traders need to know about this shit before choosing brokers, this is not normal folks- notice how none of those ib sales folks who peruse this site to defend their book, have come here with a detailed explanation of how this could even happen in the first place?

I was very reasonable and polite on ib customer service, i am venting here because this should have been fixed in 3 minutes, and the fact that it wasn`t means the way IB accounts for funds architecture isn`t how it should be!!!! that is what is unnerving!

YEAH BUT they said they had segregated accounts, so did MF Global but really they didn`t!!!! they both used customer funds inapporiatetly, this just makes me question IB- YOU CANNOT TRUST ANYBODY THESE DAYS - you have to be kidding me with regulated right? Look at how unregulated markets are...

the bigger issue is the fact that they have been notified by several customers, and they still cannot fix the issue - i.e., they cannot return balances to accounts - I could understand a slight technical glitch maybe, but not being able to fix it immediately that is more disconcerting for anyone...

i have many brokerage accounts, many with ib, and this has never happened even remotely close this is a major screwup, how can you ever let this happen in a business that relies on trust?
