after i called and told them to use their fucking bulletin, NOW they just put one out- 41 minutes into the problem. pathetic. of course, they have no clue what is wrong and no clue if/when things will be back up. anyone else get the feeling when they talk to HK customer service that the...

yet another IB outage with no communication to traders whatsoever. what is the point of having bulletins when they never use them and, in the rare instances they do, they put them out WAY too late. no HSI/HHI.HK trading/quotes/anything for 20 minutes- not a peep out of IB- no bulletins...

the problem with that with IB is that even when you prove a problem like this, they don't take ownership of it, make no effort to fix it, and act as if your resultant negative financial ramifications should be chalked up to 'shit happens' and move on; and, to act otherwise, is to show that...

that is a new one. congrats ib- a new fuck up in tws. i'll look forward to seeing it when i've got 4 open contracts in the HSI and it's moving 100 points/minute...

last night i had 3 pink outs that not only cost me several hundred dollars- when i restarted TWS, one part of the executions window was showing me stopped out of my position, while every other part of TWS (ie: TWS window, booktrader, account summary and the summary part of the executions window)...

on topic: i'd never heard of logmein- i'm going to give it a try for other purposes than trading- never been very impressed with gotomypc. Kiwi: good on you for your good trading day. IB was solid for the morning session- they must love me the way i'm over-trading. 51 round trips in the...

ignore this dolt. he's so married to ib that he jerks off to TWS reconnect messages. i posted on someone's thread about connection drops and about my incorrect monthly statement showing all my gains as short term (i trade futures, so it's wrong and a several thousand dollar tax consequence if...

got my monthly statement from IB for november today. i only trade futures and, of course, it is always broken down as LT vs ST gains. this month, the statement is showing ALL gains as short term gains- obviously a BIG problem. i called them and they told me to submit a trouble ticket- i guess...

happens to me all the time with IB and stop limit orders. they will blame anybody and everybody but themselves regardless of what time and sale says. many times i've canceled an order, had the cancel accepted/acknowledged by the exchange, and then been executed anyway 2-3 seconds later= huh...

not a high horse- i just think it's well past time that IB solve some very solvable issues. actually, came back and had an ok day. 2 pink outs and a black out cost me quite a bit in actual loss, plus the opportunity cost of missing 2 perfect setups while it was down- all during the morning...

i didn't read the particulars on this post. if you hadn't noticed, there has been a rash of threads citing problems with IB where many other posters have confirmed the problems- sometimes with people from all over the world experiencing the same problems. the point of my post was that IB...

i tend to continue to disagree when you place the blame on ISP's. my experience is that much of the disconnect crap is made even much worse by IB's poorly designed reconnect 'feature'. in many cases, it cannot manage to reconnect- load TWS on another computer on the same network, and you get...

becomes a mute point (unfortunately) when you get up into the equally desired/dreaded AMT level of income. the AMT is a joke- a very bad joke... a painful joke...

nope. doesn't anyone watch southpark... sdd: sucked donkey dick

i have no idea what lame 4th grade style predictions have to do with trading- i imagine you 'double dog dare' a lot too. what i do know is that whenever i am 'sure' the market is going to go one way or the other beforehand, it's a recipe for disaster. having such built in bias makes one less...

he was smug the way he said it too. it was as if he was saying, 'the moron joe 6 pack average American doesn't understand this whole currency implosion thing, and we're not going to tell him- so stfu'. granted, plenty of truth in that right now. we'll have a nation of currency aware average...

there is talk of it, but it gets immediately shot down. there is some talk about it on cnbc asia with HK based analysts who say that the powers that be are entrenched in this peg policy. personally, i'd like to see it, and it certainly makes sense. it's not really a playable forex play-...

i think i say this, verbatim, aloud (usually to myself) about 10x/day. i guess it is just the reality of nobody wanting to put $ into anything BUT treasuries if they are holding dollars. that said, i am with Jim Rogers in that i believe the 10 and 30 year US treasuries are going to be one of...

Shanghai is not Hong Kong.

thanks for the post.
