Might have been an issue with certain balances in other currencies translating literally to USD, tying up your available capital.

My account showed a debit in the millions due to a currency glitch. Customer service fixed.
 
Yeah

error in TWS was stating "cannot value contract", my market orders just hanged there doing nothing

the little order popup wasn't showing commissions or margin

getting through all the way to the order desk to close out my positions by phone took quite some time, would been scary in a big crash :eek:

can't imagine the old timers trading only by phone hehe ...



cheers,

I got this message trading CL too. Tried to hedge with WTI but TWS couldnt do that either..

yeah was quite scary as CL can move 100 ticks in minutes sometimes.
 
Quote from Totantaz:

I deposit in CAD

it gets transfered in USD after my deposit is cleared

the account is based in USD

Thanks - I thought it was a base currency problem, but it seems not.

Good thing I didn't have any trades on - I would have panicked! :D

Good trading to you
