Most quotes just came back, but some are still missing (COIL on ICE for example).

I told them it was a bad idea to hire Edward Scissorhands to be in charge of wiring in their server room. But no, they didn't listen to me..... Seriously though, this means we should assume native orders will execute, but simulated orders (such as stop losses on GLOBEX) will not execute.

Here's my IB status page.

I got a timeout error trying to load the status page (just the inner frame where it gives the german holiday hours). How hard would it be for an IB employee to add the standard "We have a HUGE outage affecting all our customers, who are now completely screwed unless they are smart enough to...

I have a vague recollection of DELL doing this a few years ago, selling options (on an options exchange). Can't remember if they were calls or puts but I think they did well for awhile until they got creamed (like many option sellers).

Don't worry, the floor traders are being assigned to new jobs as bank robbers. The skill sets required for both jobs are almost identical....

So if I *KNOW* that a stock I own is going to go under (not based on insider knowledge but based on my analysis) I'm an asshole if I sell it to you? If some idiot wants to buy it, that's their problem. Shorting wasn't a sure thing, the mortgage crisis could have occurred a year later and...

Do you have a link to a calendar of when contracts are being moved? The cbot website is like a black hole..... Once ecbot is done, can we buy pieces of it to beat the sh*t out of (like that printer beating scene in office space)?

The lesson here .... NEVER upgrade TWS until you are forced to, and then make sure you search on this forum before using a specific version. With IB there's no QA or regression testing, and their designers appear to work in a vacuum AND do not appear to have ever traded or used TWS. And I...

WHY IS PURETICK SENDING ME SPAM?????

Re-reading this, I bet he tried to cancel and instead switched himself to a three month subscription and didn't notice the charge. DOH!!!! Or he could just be full of it.....

Hoi, I'm not actually a subscriber, but I visited your website once a few months ago. Can you be reputable and refund my money (even though I didn't actually pay anything)? And maybe throw in a little something for the kids too :p All posters in this thread need to be reputable and...

You mean where you signed up for a six month subscription, then decided you didn't want to pay for it, and tried to get your refund despite agreeing to a "no refund" policy? What if you were given a code that worked on the gyms doors for 6 months and it couldn't be revoked. Should they still...

You say you cancelled -- then you must have a confirmation email which confirms your cancellation. If you didn't get one then you must have hit the wrong button, or the cancellation got lost somehow. Either way you needed to make sure you cancelled it. There's nothing Hoi or any other vendor...

I got pink outs, now I can't get back in. Thank goodness for backup brokers. But at least IB's system status page says there are no problems, so it must be all of us (all over the country) having ISP problems at the exact same time :mad: :mad:

My guess is this means you are modifying trades more than 50 times for each execution you're receiving. For example you make 10 trades today, but modify existing orders more than 500 times. I've read about attempts to prevent excessive modifications, they're often attempts to spoof bid/ask...

You'd be fine if you kept your records in a fireproof safe. But what if a meteor crashes down and smashes the safe? Again not a problem, they can just dig up the houses with large power tools. Of course if the earthquakes swallow the post office too then you wouldn't get your paper...

If he provides his username and password I'll mail him a monthly statement for under $100 a month (PM me for the exact rate). I'll even throw in the yearly statement for free. And if you're one of the first 100 messages I receive, I'll sign you up on prison dating mailing lists for free...

Please don't make posts like this. I'm reading this at work and I nearly fell off my chair laughing. :D :D
