IB - No Data ?

Aaron Copland · Mar 4, 2008

Gee do you think IB going down then all this news comming out was sort of strange?

HKIB · Mar 4, 2008

Any recommendation of a reliable backup broker?

Ya is a conspiracy, lol
Oh my, BTW, nice call you made

It is just coincidence that we lost data when was necessary to go from very profitable shorts to very profitable rally?
Or simply too many traders working in same time = data failure?

I have been around the markets long enough to tell you it is a rigged game, make no mistake about that.

I still do ok though.

BIG volume spike when data back on, all of the customers IB f-cked, covering their shorts for big losses

I have been trading with IB for 3-4 years and this is the first outage for me.

Did anyone try to call IB to get out of a position? Did anyone answer?

LT701 · Mar 4, 2008

everyone, call IB and ask who they reccomend for a backup broker

They had one not too long ago in the morning for 45 minutes. Everyone thought that was crappy. This was worse.
