  1. yeah, except, I don't really want them to show up, cause I made more money by them being ignored

  2. idealPRO was unavailable for some time. The bulletin was probably a clue. You can CALL them and close the position with someone on the desk for FREE when they're having routing problems in TWS.

  5. ib helped out on that one, by the time I could close it was moving in my favor, didn't close out until this morning

    but now it is showing eur.usd down 50.03%

    I see today's the quotes in TWS are correct but IB has not reset the prices topday so it shows AAPL at 456 which is correct but it shows it is up 3.5% that means it is adding yesterday's gain to today's gain.

    I logged out of TWS and rebooted my PC and logged back in and the problem is gone.

  8. I have been incredibly lucky in the last 48 hours, and twice that has been due to ib screw ups

    if it had been working fine like it usually does, I would have left a lot on the table on one

    and gotten off to a very bad start on the other

  9. looks like ib has switched from resetting forex at 17:00 to probably midnight

    doesn't make amy difference to me

    just pick one and stick with it

    don't know about futures

    at least they are starting to get the decimal points in the right place

    50% is a big move for any currency
