IB has seriously gone to hell this last month. TWS goes down several times everyday. It's as bad as when I pulled my money out of E*Trash 5 years ago. I've been with IB ever since. I'm going to give another week or so to resolve the problem, then I'm going elsewhere (since I won't be trading during XMAS week I can move my money).....
Good. For a second I thought that both my cable and DSL redundancy had failed me and was going to swich to dial up.... Thank goodness for stops.
Type 1000 into the 'Quantity' field and click on buy or sell... It's pretty easy. I've done it quite a few times this morning. Good thing I went to colluge.
