interactivebrokers really screws up

Quote from Zr1Trader:

Call them... who knows...With your luck, all those other orders you entered will probably show up on your clearing statement as filled creating an even bigger mess. lol
yeah, except, I don't really want them to show up, cause I made more money by them being ignored
 
idealPRO was unavailable for some time. The bulletin was probably a clue. You can CALL them and close the position with someone on the desk for FREE when they're having routing problems in TWS.

able to close out your position, or are you hating life right now?
ib helped out on that one, by the time I could close it was moving in my favor, didn't close out until this morning

but now it is showing eur.usd down 50.03%
 
I see today's the quotes in TWS are correct but IB has not reset the prices topday so it shows AAPL at 456 which is correct but it shows it is up 3.5% that means it is adding yesterday's gain to today's gain.

I logged out of TWS and rebooted my PC and logged back in and the problem is gone.

I have been incredibly lucky in the last 48 hours, and twice that has been due to ib screw ups

if it had been working fine like it usually does, I would have left a lot on the table on one

and gotten off to a very bad start on the other
 
looks like ib has switched from resetting forex at 17:00 to probably midnight

doesn't make amy difference to me

just pick one and stick with it

don't know about futures

at least they are starting to get the decimal points in the right place

50% is a big move for any currency
