    Mine's still screwed up too. You know just one morning of bad data feeds and not being able to trade can wipe out any advantage of lower commissions, at least from the number of trades I do daily. Reliable data feeds is THE most important feature of any broker. Today you've failed this test IB.

  4. Got to admit I've never had this much trouble. Hopefully, they'll have it nailed down by lunch time. The morning session is shot as far as I can see...

    I am trading the Stoxx and getting data from IB just fine. Market depth seems right up with TT as well. It must just be a CME/IB problem.

    No it's an IB problem with Globex and ECBOT and other exchanges. Look at the move we just missed. Damn. Grrrr.
    To ECBOT,GLOBEX traders:

    US futures market data may, once again, be delayed or unavailable for some customers.

    These are the exchanges I use but even NYMEX which I also use is screwed up. Just missed a 50 cent drop in that too. :(

    guess we can add 'unreliable data' to 'rude customer service'
