Aside from today, I havnt been DOWN courtesy of IB this year. The only other issue was the random pink outs back in April.... But nothing like today. at least I could track my positions even if I couldn't execute.
" And this other broker that has never gone down in 11 years is ?? And the commission rates you pay are " They are UK brokers and i pay more than double of IB fees. If i give you more details than this i will get reported by Mr Atticus for breaching ET rules and this will result in a yellow card against me.
He is already accusing me of being a trouble maker. He is also accusing me of being CYOF, ATEHT, Socco and Bulldozer. Next month he might accuse me of being Sorros or Buffett
You pay peanuts commissions you get monkies IB. You need to find a good UK broker my friend and forget all those with low commisions.
I know how often they are down and when , I trade with them . Overall they are very reliable . I have used other brokers which I will not name that have had more down time and worse issues then what I saw today .
I agree. Aside from their sometimes surly representatives, I have found their service quite acceptable in the past 18 months. I am, however, still concerned about this issue and I am hoping that an IB representative will explain what happened. I've been toying with opening a Tradestation account to get their charting and data anyway, so this has given me incentive to do that so I can have a backup broker as well. From what I read in other threads here, Tradestation might be less reliable than IB, but the redundancy would be comforting.
I've never referred to you as "Socco" or "Bulldozer"; therefore you've just outed yourself under those aliases as well.
You clever little shill. Where is your sister shill, trader123abc. No, dont tell me: she's probably off in a corner somewhere trying to figure out what comes after "c". :eek: Shill Much
