If you watch the system messenger tab, are you staying connected all day long?

This week I have been disconnected all day long and logged back in, back and forth between data Gateway L1 and L2. Haven't been able to trade reliably.

I am guessing it is my crappy internet connection (LAN wireless), but I wanted to check with other users. I can't get dsl or cable here. IB however is staying connected rock solid.

Thanks for any feed back.

I'm not sure of the day, but I did notice that Gateway 1 was off line for a short time. It did not seem to affect my trading. I have cable and DSL. Give Kirt a Call.

It is frustrated for me too.
The last 3 weeks I had off and on serious problems with Xoom
And that affects my trading........

The last time i have been with Xoom trade
was two monthes back.

Level II and Charts freezing and T&s lagging,
But at the same the excution was instant and
i remebers i had some issues with ARCA ecn
excution and cancelation in few cases after
4:00PM. I also had two time lost transactions.
But this can happen with most brokerages
or may be Ecn had problems

Anyhow i had to stop, not because of these
problems, but because my strategy was not
working.

I use Esignal for levelII, T&S, Charting,
but realized very late the isssues with
xoom, because i didn't have Esignal to
compare with Xoom, and paid for this
many times more.


But i think every trader to take precaution and
"SOULD NOT BLAME XOOM" because you got to
provide your own quote and charting software.

I think xoom excution wise had no problem most
of times and still among the top
