What brokers worked during power outage?

Let´s wait for some serious power outage in Chicago

- and see which brokers will be up and running.

Some companies have been buying fuel cell power generation to take their computing resources completely off the grid, particularly in CA.

The building in NYC which was still operatiing because it had a 200Kw fuel cell power plant-

TNT worked the whole time. I was in Northern NJ with the power out, but had a battery back-up on my laptop and a phone line. Was watching the AH action until my battery died around 6:30 EST.

No problems with the broker, but lots of problems with the power here!

I am on IB, and everything worked fine.

In fact, I did not even know that anything was wrong until I read the paper this morning. Funny, uh

However, I am located in Europe, so probably I am routed through another server.

My jts.ini file says: Peer=gw2.ibllc.com:4000

Do all users have the same IP adress and port?

Probably you did not try to login after 4:00 pm ET ?
The power outage took place 4:03 pm ET or something like that.

Today is August 15, the last day to file taxes. I cannot download my trades from IB because they are down. Just my luck.

Please tell them to hurry every chance they get.

Inaccurate info, Oct 15 is the final deadline for taxes. I haven't file a tax return until Oct 15th in many many years. Per my CPA.


Good luck and good trading.
