IB is down, has been for the last 20 minutes

must of been a regional prob. No problem here.

 

my account has been on and off at least 5 times today. I,m getting pretty damn sick of it too.

 

where is Def when y ou need him?

 

I don't mind the outages per se. This is nothing compared to several years ago when I had dial-up. But I wish they'd use their System Status properly and not give the impression that it's all the user's fault/problem. If a server or two or several are down, then say so. That would at least save a wasted phone call.

 

Please give Def a break since he is in Hong Kong time (13 hours ahead of us in the East Coast.

 

second that - I can't actually remember last time when the problem wasn't on their end (based on fact that data from other sources continues without interruption)

I do think outage rate with IB is way too high for traders trading in short time frames - something like once per week for significant period during busiest trading hours - I don't understand why they don't give fixing this a higher priority

 

This week was a problem for the gw5 server, but overall uptime has been very high. And I'm watching all day.
