Is IB down ?
- Thread starter taodr
- Start date
Are you guys whom are having the problems using the web version of IB?
I ask cause I use the stand alone version and I virtually never have any data problems. maybe a few times per year for a total of a few minutes. The only really bad time I can think of is when Globex went down last year. I think it was last year anyway.

Not me.
Right when the market went fast on the rumors IB blanked some stocks and options. I had positions on the short side and needed to move quick. This is not acceptable.
Does anyone know of a better broker/trading platform?
I am really concerned about this because I know somewhere down the road we are going to have another 1987 type of event. Massive volume and fast markets. I want to trade with someone I can depend on.
IB has been flaky in the evenings (PST) while trading forex. I use the standalone client and it is losing the connection constantly. I know the connection to the internet is good, since I am getting other realtime data.
Thanks,

I'm going to look at Thinkorswim. I have heard good things about them so far. I trade futures only so I need to see how they are but other folks have said they are pretty good for stocks and options. Always good to have a backup. I'm sure a lot of people lost money because of the outage today. I was lucky but next time maybe not.
