Ecbot went down again for me during the FOMC announcement.
This is numerous times this has happened with IB during economic reports. The Globex seemed to be fine but since I mainly trade notes this is unexceptable.
I also run Tradestation and there was no problems with it's Ecbot feed.
I also talked to another trader that runs TT and he had no problems.
This was this last straw for me: bye, bye IB: looking for a new broker!
