That was a very bad/long and surprising outage, one that for me, required some sort of email or notification from IB explaining what was going on....
I don't feel like my lone opinion on IB is a pot shot but more of expressing my sense of not wanting to be in the same boat with a lot of highly...
Not knowing how much money you are talking about or your trading style ..... Just my opinion of course, but I am uncomfortable with IB's business...
My condolences to the people with negative account balances. You may have screwed up to an extent in having too large of a position but I still...
