Down for 5 mins, now back.

Just came back -- probably a total of 8 or so mins of outage. Not as bad as the "big one" back in Dec!

Esignal has been having some data problems today as well. My market depth for the YM has been in and out.

All my order entry/management software is integrated with IB.

This will cause a huge headache.

Damn.. you can always just call them and have them close all open positions and order right?

Not when the rest of their customers are trying to do the same thing. You must've missed the Great Outage of Dec. 07.

Up here long ago.

And while we're on the subject, those IB charts and backfill rates/pacing timeouts suck ass.

Even Ameritrade does backfill right.

IB needs to fix that , it's an embarrassment.
