Exchanges "temporarily" not available on IB??

G

gmst

So, from time to time I see a red blinking alert come up on my TWS saying things like

ONE not available for trading
ONE is again available for trading
CBOT not available for trading etc.

Do these outages are IB specific in the sense that they represent problems in IB's connections with these exchanges and these exchanges are working fine with other brokers

OR

is it an exchange wide problem and all other brokers would experience this?

Thanks for the link Bob!

But such outages at least on IB side are not rare - I have not kept track but I will guess that on a weekly basis at least that red alert blinks 5-15 times, so we are talking of at least 1-2 outages per day on average at least on the IB side, if not the exchange side. Thats why I asked if this is an IB connectivity to exchange problem or is it an exchange wide problem.
 
An example...just got this as a red flashing alert

I also don't trade CBOT....but I have products trading on CBOT enabled in my account. Is it that you don't have products trading on CBOT enabled in your account?

Because I always thought that these red flashing alerts are for everyone. Now you say you didn't receive this makes me wonder!!!!
