Dumping IB and switching too...

Quote from crazy_trader:

IB quotes are all messed up after the fed reports. Any Cybertrader opinions are welcome. IB servers just cannot handle the surge in volume anymore.

IB are fixing this problem as we speak. They expect to have it fixed next week. So by the time of the next Fed announcement, in 6 weeks, the problem should be long behind us, and IB quotes will be more reliable than ever. See http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1406505#post1406505
 
Quote from jimrockford:

I'm happy to see honest, legitimate, public criticism of IB, because I think it helps IB to improve and to do a better job of serving its customers (including me). This is part of the process of how IB functions. I'm not happy when I see or suspect unfair and untruthful criticism from people who lack the knowledge they purport to possess, or who are IB competitors masquerading as IB customers, seeking to harm and to deceive IB and its customers, instead of seeking to assist them.

If you don't believe me, that I am fine about honest, constructive criticism of IB, then just use the IB search function to look at my prior postings, and you will find examples where I do criticize IB.

I agree with you Jim.
Your replies are usually of the very polite variety (a rarity here on ET), so I can assure you I wasn't referring to anything you wrote.

there are no perfect brokers
there will always be some mishaps that actually are the brokers fault and not just some cynical, gripy, chronic complainer in action

there are no one size fits all brokers

the best broker recommendation for you can only be determined if you reveal your average number of shares per order and your average hold times and your average number of round trips per time frame

and even then, supposed experts will disagree as to who's better and what the most important considerations are ... depending on what you are trading ... and if you only trade equities, it still depends on which ones before you can define what the most important considerations are

LOL. Just in case the wanker hasn't done it yet ... CScott, you are nothing but a wanking scum.

Certainly not a trader. Anyone who doubts Scott's pedigree just check out the first few pages of his posts.

Scotty ... ur just a lowly wanker (can't get a f'k --- u'r way too ugly :p)
