IB has assured me that in the event something like this happens during market hours, during a big move, they have a contigency plan in place. It's called a insurance policy.
Get the yellow market data: usfuture connected eurofarm connected usfarm disconnected hkfarm disconnected eurofarm is connected but no quotes for GBL.
market data Well looks like I better take the day (ehhh evening / night, am in New Zealand) off again. Better have and enjoy an evening out, have dinner and go to the cinema. Until next trading session guys. Shame about the moves in the Euro-USD, am missing a large part of that. Long live the unstable internet infrastructure! (and thanks to the forsight to plan for these inevitable outages, will only get worse as time progresses) Just as well that I enjoy position trading and not scalping.... Sherlock
If you have the option to use an IB Hongkong account, switch to it. IB US is still down this morning 2.15am EST, but IB HK is running fine including market data for all exchanges Just transferred my trading capital to the HK account which can be done in 2minutes and finally am able to start trading again
Is that what that is? I thought it was IB's, uh, rhymes with sock and walls ... getting ready to be jammed into the arse of their clients.
But you'll be missing part of the US afternoon trading session where some predictable moves are.... :-( Sherlock
I am on HK server but can't log in. Perhaps I am one of those "some" clients who get stuffed while others don't How about an explanation of why some users are the "some" who get affected and other's don't. Come on IB let's hear it (hint: avoid all references to ISP's as logging in to Refco no problem)
