yeah,systemstaus is a BIG joke. its always ok according to that piece of crap. oh, just like customer service. i get better info on et than i get from the service people.
Is your phone broken too? Better question is "why no backup plan" when something like this happens? So it's great while everything is roses and you're saving hand over fist in commissions, but you want all out with a little problem like this? Do you take the same attitude with your relationships? You must have some really awsome friends who have never let you down... or have a high turnover rate. Now there's a solid plan.
How about getting a clue for a change? IB is not competitive any more in terms of commissions, period!! Do your research before you start posting this kind of joke on a day like that...
btw: are ib still charging you all for canceling globex orders? they must be the only broker to do this as well as the only broker who regularly shafts its customers with the big end of a broom. why? i thought trading was about making good decisions! lol
Fred, i hope your getting paid by refco to wave their pom poms and bash other companies. Do you work for them?
