This is not IB's problem to resolve. It is your responsibility as a trader to make sure you have a backup broker and/or contingency plan for this...
I'm not doing size (unless 1 contract counts as size :D) but I would like the ability to scale 1-3 contracts in/out (I don't mind a tick of...
I'm looking for liquid electronic futures to trade (with Interactive Brokers) beyond ES, NQ, ER2 and EMD and the currency futures. I've heard...
I remember reading on ET that they are fungible, and I found something on the CME website stating this:...
Are you saying SLV leads the futures? That would be interesting.....
The problem as I see it is what type of order to place. If I use a stop limit then I can limit my slippage to say one "point" -- but at the risk...
I ended up placing a pit order, stop market at 1145.5 and I was filled at 1147 (1.5 cents from the high of the day!). Not ideal, but a learning...

An outage is an outage not a mistake on their end, and unless you can prove they deliberately did something (why would they?) you're pretty much...

Thanks guys, at least now I can feel safe getting my pockets picked :D
I'm going to start trading silver, but I can't decide if I should use ECBOT or COMEX. Since right now I'd be using the COMEX pit I know I'd get...
