    With the IBKR stock price at all times highs.
    Me thinks the best IB engineers have cashed in their stock options and are sitting on a beach somewhere enjoying their millions.

    it was not only a display bug since I was unable to open new positions due to a lack of funds

  3. I'm very sorry to hear that. Were your existing positions auto-liquidated resulting in the lack of funds?

    no auto-liquidation, it was just a funding limitation for new positions

    I notice IB is no longer a sponsor. They must have run out of patience with the endless IB-bashing here.

    They used retail traders to grow the brokerage business in the early days.
    Now they got bigger clients they don't need us retail pikers anymore.

  8. Seems like this bug was a bad joke to many IB clients. I hope nobody died of heart attacks.

    Am I the only one here that was pleasantly surprised by this allert? I woke up with notice that my account is up 21.000 EUR.. Man was I happy for a few moments :) Just kidding, I checked my portfolio and it was the same value, so I immediately deleted this email knowing it must have been some kind of bug. But if it would say down 21k, I think I would get a mini hard attack. I have short CL option positions open so it could very well happen to loose this much in a day if market crashes.. So glad I received an UP error :)

    No, their history is
    -- wholesale
    -- institutional retail
    -- tiny, tiny, tiny retail.

    We be the fleas on a very big dawg. :D
