IBKR portfolio value broken 6am GMT

With the IBKR stock price at all times highs.
Me thinks the best IB engineers have cashed in their stock options and are sitting on a beach somewhere enjoying their millions.
 
If it's only a display bug, auto liquidation should not happen. My biggest worry as a client who uses margin is that this bug can actually cause auto liquidation to happen. I hope folks on this forum can share their experience so that all of us here are aware of the risks of using IB platform.

it was not only a display bug since I was unable to open new positions due to a lack of funds

Am I the only one here that was pleasantly surprised by this allert? I woke up with notice that my account is up 21.000 EUR.. Man was I happy for a few moments :) Just kidding, I checked my portfolio and it was the same value, so I immediately deleted this email knowing it must have been some kind of bug. But if it would say down 21k, I think I would get a mini hard attack. I have short CL option positions open so it could very well happen to loose this much in a day if market crashes.. So glad I received an UP error :)
 
They used retail traders to grow the brokerage business in the early days.
Now they got bigger clients they don't need us retail pikers anymore.

No, their history is
-- wholesale
-- institutional retail
-- tiny, tiny, tiny retail.

We be the fleas on a very big dawg. :D
