Is interactive brokers down at the moment?

Thanks. Same situation here. I guess it's IB server problem, not ours.

One workaround is to login through Account Management. Hope this outage is fixed before the market opens tomorrow. It is scary to be frozen out of one's account when the market is in action.

You can try this to confirm that it is Asian server connection problem.

The IB Asian server is back in action. I can log in now. I believe so can you.

Thanks for checking.

 

Now all servers are available again.

 

One of their servers were probably down and now it seems to be fixed. It happens from time to time. Good thing it happened on a weekend when we do in-depth analysis about our trading and the market and not during the week when we actually trade. Asian servers are actually not more stable (I guess IB can't afford to upset its Chinese whales). I have experienced more server outages on NA servers than I can remember.

 

My experience is that there is a longer reset each weekend. Get the same with other brokers as well

 

Now the same problem. Cannot connect to IB UK

 

Should be fine now based on results of connection test.
