This is the first real continued outage (> 10 mins) I've experienced since becoming a customer in 4/2007. Experienced bugs and momentary hiccups but a first for me.

First time I've experienced since 1/2005.

The market has been pretty flat the last 10 minutes. IB has requested all market makers and participants stop trading until they get the system up and running. Thank goodness for that.

Christ!! What would I be feeling right now if I had a meaningful position on without having put a stop in? So many guys here have said "For intraday I do my stops 'by hand' ". Great... until this happens.

Maybe they aren't trading at IB.

Waiting to hear someone say they're in so I don't run up against the log-in limit error message.

How did you find that out? Are you serious....Can they even do that?

first major outage for me in five years with IB, have had an occasional minute or two outage, but this is ridiculous.
