Anyone @IBKR notice substantially higher margin on CL futures, initial margins were doubled to over $10k without any notice Also no day margins offered (they were available last week)? PS - There was no notification - IBKR used to be much better at phasing in changes and notifying clients...

It's 6:10pm eastern and this is definitely not resolved. What's scarier is I'm on hold for 20 minutes with CS and nobody picks up the phone, what if you have an execution issue?

That's with live data, you can invert the spread if you prefer - they won't give you market depth on spreads however

FYI they're aware of it, may only apply to certain accounts mine got sorted out

Anyone else have this on their TWS, every futures or FX ticker I am subscribed to shows up as unsubscribed, hopefully they get this fixed before the open

CL quotes on booktrader are stuttering, lagging and often disappearing anytime there is a volume spike, trading during the pit close is near impossible because you're clicking on prices nowhere near the market I used to see this occasionally but now it's every day - the quote lag is far beyond...

$10000 for -M2/+M3 is outlandish, anyone call CS?

Unrelated issue but every one of my marketable orders in weeklies expiring today (Friday 5/19) is being price capped by TWS, anyone else? It lets you join the bid/offer but you can't hit or take anything.

Thanks gazer, I called CS too fingers crossed

Anyone notice starting with Monday (May 15th) IB is no longer processing these options right after the 4pm eastern fixing price on expiration day? They used to get pulled out of the account window or automatically get assigned with a corresponding position in ES right after the 4pm fix, now...

Yeah, I never received a notice per se but my account window was highlighted red for a few hours last week despite being 99% cash Recently I noticed almost every night "Current Available Funds" (total) drops significantly, then it reappears in the morning

Back to normal now, they fixed it ~7:30pm eastern

Same here, it's been down for over an hour now, CS has no clue what's going on

Anybody able to place an order for any GLOBEX futures after 6pm eastern (Tuesday 4/25)?

Happening again several times today, each time when there is a volume spike in CL 13:42:50-13:44:00 Eastern was the latest, anyone else seeing this? Market depth completely disappears and all you see is a flashing bid/ask which is about 30 seconds behind.

Hi PTMC - your post is confusing is there some way to integrate IB with CQG data?

8960 is the Obamacare capital gains tax which kicks in over $200k AGI It has nothing to do with 60/40 or AMT

Zzz - I'm referring only to price conditional orders (i.e. an IB-held stop with a custom trigger). If IB's internal data feed is frozen at $50 for 2 minutes while it's trading at $49.90 your $49.95 sell stop won't be elected. If you go straight to NYMEX there is no problem. My main reason for...

That's partially correct, they use a raw data feed instead on their end instead of snapshots, however IB-held orders are definitely subject to these glitches when the bid/ask are completely out of sync, i.e. simulated stop orders are not triggered in a timely fashion I don't have a screenshot...

Happened twice today on volume spikes (Friday 3/10) 8:42am and 12:52pm eastern Market depth on booktrader starts flashing and stuttering, took over 2 minutes in each instance to catch up Even if you have backup data it's dangerous because it affects any IB-held orders while the data is going...
