IB Down

IB imposed penalty time 5 minutes.

 

First time I've experienced since 1/2005.

 

Still down in Vancouver Canada. 749am PT.

 

The market has been pretty flat the last 10 minutes. IB has requested all market makers and participants stop trading until they get the system up and running. Thank goodness for that.

 

Christ!! What would I be feeling right now if I had a meaningful position on without having put a stop in? So many guys here have said "For intraday I do my stops 'by hand' ". Great... until this happens.

Maybe they aren't trading at IB.

Waiting to hear someone say they're in so I don't run up against the log-in limit error message.

 

Detroit; down too!

Stop orders aint gona work if their servers are down, right?

 

fighting major

 

How did you find that out? Are you serious....Can they even do that?

 

first major outage for me in five years with IB, have had an occasional minute or two outage, but this is ridiculous.

 

I hope that is true... kind of seems like it
