Electronic is electronic these days, BSAM, given that NMS in effect now.

Nasdaq didn't go down today. (Sorry, guess my mind simply remains closed to AMEX.)

I'm at a random prop firm where no one trades AMEX, and over our news feed at around 3:02 we were told that all AMEX stocks were halted, and then a few minutes later we were told that the AMEX would be shut down for the day... so I don't think it's fair to blame IB in this case.

Ditto.

I think anyone who trades on AMEX needs their ass kicked.

You mean to tell me every ETF trader is stuck for the last 45 minutes? Didnt have any open position but would have been very unhappy not to be able to trade.

Whats the excuse for not fixing this promptly?

IB's excuse is that its not something that IB caused. So, Stock baby, give urself a quick ass kick and move on.

lol, you have nothing better to do than make an ass of yourself publicly?


I'll assist you in remedial reading.

1) AMEX had a system problem.

2) All the stocks/etfs continued to trade on all ECN's and NYSE. As expected. Not much point in having 5 routes if you halt trading internally when one of them , even the primary, goes down.

3) IB appeared to hit the halt button on many ETF's , halting the ability to trade ANY of them to open or close positions.
Nothing was halted.

4) For one EFT I follow, it took an hour to fix this.

So, kiwi, now that you have been sent packing, keep walking.

Is it my imagination or are the quality of the posts deteriorating exponentially here?

Why not trade them on ECNs?

100% Agreed.

Trading appeared to go uninterrupted on all ECNs--yet all IB customers were blocked from trading ON ANY ECN OR EXCHANGE.
This is the problem.

I was able to trade AMEX on ECNs at other brokerages, during the IB halt.


FYI--This didn't effect RTH orders only, I know that for a fact--there was no real rhyme or reason to the halt/unlhalt protocol.
Even SPY was halted at IB---come on, seriously!!!

What a mess.
