Yet more tech. issues with IB today :(

It happens more than once, just wait for sometimes to connect. I wonder if they are planning to do something about it. It is never good to have a frequent disconnection for their clients.

No this looks more serious: To all traders: Fri Dec 11 01:07:37 2020 EST We are currently experiencing technical issues affecting US, IL & HK Clients. We are working to resolve the issue and apologize for the inconvenience

Usually when there is a problem,
it will happen again and again.
A few days later, the problem will simply disappear.

Having a backup system is important.
 
Nowadays easier to just post when they are NOT having technical issues. Losses piling up from me from disconnections at random.

I agree, backup is very important, I am surprised that they havent considered one yet.
 
I have moved my IRA from IB back to Schwab (unrelated to tech snafus) - I must say IB was ok except for their commission on stocks when everybody is free, they still charged me a buck (sometimes 1.60?). Never had a technical issue except trying to navigate their labyrinthic website. The reason I move my money is - with Schwab it is almost guaranteed to talk to someone nice and intelligent under 5 minutes! With IB, fuggedaboutit..

There are no free commissions. You pay with worse execution in 99% of cases.
