Still waiting for IB to call back but I think I wasn't assigned on any of the 20 short ES 1245s now. I liquidated 10 ES contracts from the...
Well I have an update for you. Nothing to do with my original request that IB reimburse the 6300 dollars I lost due to their incorrect assignment...
KTM, Thanks for your thoughts. We're on the exact same page. I am a fan of IB too. I've never had any major problems until now. I think...
Still waiting to hear back from IB but I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the support. It's nice to know I'm not going crazy here... As...
