Power Outage

  1. Could this all be associated with the planet Mars? Mars travels the closest to the earth in something like 50,000 years. On Aug. 27, Mars will be at its closest to the Earth.

    Maybe there really is something to the magnetic and radiational pulls of planets on one another!!

    read.. Arch Crawford's newsletters, he will fully explain planetary relationships.

  5. Why doesn't IB have a generator/failsafe system?

    Bloomberg sounds pretty cool about things.

  9. Def,

    Can you comment on IB's redundancy/backup capabilities?

    I will be very interested to know which globex brokers retained connectivity and functionality. Can anyone comment?

    You can trade them all, no matter which server you are on. The only difference is the routing your order takes. I understand that if you are in the UK using the Swiss server your order goes to Switzerland, then to New York, then back to Switzerland, then to you in the UK.
