  2. All exhanges in New York are closed because of the massive power outage. According to the news, Chicago is unaffected, so I assume Globex will be back up at 15:45 CST.

    My understanding is that you cannot change servers yourself - IB need to do it for you. I have one PC on New York, one on Switzerland, and one on Hong Kong, just in case.

    I think you get the choice when you install IB which server to use. Not sure I want to do a reinstall
