i've restored mine back but they're all showing blanks. no quote, nothing.

Wow, the fact that I can't trade out of my EUR futures seems like i'll end up with a loss on my euro futures. I think I could have made $2000 based on Oanda quotes an hour ago. Wow, this is costing me more money than I can imagine. Unbelievable.

Can someone tell me how much EUR futures is trading right now? for June 06 thru CME i think.

im gonna start looking for a backup and move money out of IB. This is serious stuff.

IB have one of the most useless customer service of any brokers i have used by far. I thought they were great at first until I realize when you have real problems, they're motto is wait and it'll fix it self. I miss being treated like a king with Ameritrade Apex.

i think IB is down again. it's 6:12pm EST. I can't even log in.

Can I PM you guys too? I got stuck with a 3 contracts of EUR futures. I usually have a bunch of buy "lines" waiting to transmit. This time around, I clicked on the Ask Price to start setting up the buy line for later execution but it went ahead and trasmitted my order instantaneously.

Wow, this is topnotch, isn't it? I'd call IB but I'd get the usual runaround.

is it me or is your TWS executing trades when you haven't even clicked the Transmit? it's done it twice for me.

yeah, im done trading for the day. it's gonna cost me more money trying to trade handicapped.

nope no SSL. Yea, what a perfect day for this to happen, too. IB heard about this yesterday and deny deny deny is all I get from them. It's a minor problem and will be fixed they said. Right.

I just got royally f*cked. God damn. I need to look at a different platform. These guys stink. When you call, all systems are good though. dumbshit.

WHAT THE F*CK! 600 FUCKING DOLLARS LOST BECAUSE IB KEEPS DISCONNECTING. POS tool

dude, chillout. You're starting to sound like an amateur that made a few bucks. Don't spam this discussion with multiple post for every tick this thing goes up.

ECBOT / GLOBEX orders are slow as hell. I was trying to hit the bid or the ask and it waits at least 3-5 seconds before executing. terrible. I called helpdesk. They said they had some problems but should be fixed.

it depends, could be either. But this time around, it's IB. I spoke to them, they're having problems with one of their gateways.

it means it's losing connectivity to IB or having problems with the connection. Even futures trades through ECBOT are taking forever to execute.

Same thing here, f*cked me over for $300 bucks F*cking people.

The market will not go bearish until all bulls jump in. I think there will be a significant move upwards much like today but bigger before the market starts tumbling. Also, there hasn't been any big reversals where markets are up 1-2% and end up going red 1-2%. Until that happens, I'd...

Well each commodity has a margin requirement. I can't remember off the top of my head but say you bought 1 contract of NKD (nikkei 250 futures contract) and the position moved against you. If you have $4000 and the requirement is $3000, if the NKD drop more than 200 points ( $1000 because of...
