Order execution currently could be delayed as our intermediary Interactive Brokers are experiencing connectivity issues, which completely hampers our ability to process trades. Update on 09.12.2020: the issue above is affecting IB again. Further details can also be found on their [service status page](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/systemStatus.php). The issue above was resolved already. ---

Thanks for letting know, @Tony.V. I just came to see if this issue has already been reported. Iā€™ve got orders stuck at ā€˜cancellingā€™ since the last 20 minutes or so. ---

@Tony.V is it possible the devs can use the notification system so that it pops up in app/desktop to display this? Out of the 700,000+ users we only have ~1000 of those in the forum that might see this. I can imagine at 2:30pm on US open people will be flipping furniture, if they donā€™t realise thereā€™s a possible issue. ---

@phildawson Absolutely reasonable, and weā€™re about to send it (we were expecting further confirmation from IB about the status of the issue). Latest update: IB confirmed that they are experiencing issues with their data center in NY. Status reports can also be [found here](https://downdetector.com/status/interactive-brokers/). ---

Interactive Brokers have been very unreliable over the last couple of months. I was under the impression that they were the best of the best. I wonder whatā€™s going on there. ---

Not sure if this problem at IB affects the CFD side but there was no notification there. Just a headsup. ---
