    Should you close your IB accounts now?

    ids, thanks at least for the reply. Question though, what happens in a case like yesterday, where the prices are obviously out of whack, but your system still goes through to liquidate. Does a call to your trading desk earn a manual stay of execution here? Also any comment on the thread...
