I've never had an outage that lasted this long. Most of the time, when others have complained, my system has always been fine. This outage has been one of the longest I can remember.
I was just about to ask the same question about Thinkorswin. I trade futures and was asking on here earlier if anyone had any experience with them. I'll keep IB too but it's always good to have other alternatives.
I trade with IB and learned many years ago to have a backup trading account! Never miss a beat that way!
