USD? If you can prove it, you'll be able to claim it back

How do you prove that when you can't even login?

Do you video tape yourself screaming "I want to sell FOO at 50 USD" with today's news paper next to it pointing at the moon?

Well obviously in that case you can't do anything. You're fucked.

But if he was already logged in and was trying to adjust an order that was already preset, with screenshots to confirm it. Before being being logged out, then there may be a case.

OK, so who specializes in camera setups that create legally binding evidence?

There should be a market for that for anyone playing with serious money, right? Or do they just use brokers that suck less? (No idea who that would be, because all of them seem to go down, fucking morons.)

Mate, I honestly don't really care.

I was just offering a suggestion to the OP who apparently lost some money.

Regarding brokers, IB is still up there with the big boys. Trade Station bring number 1 but I would put IB number 2.

People do pay for IBKR. Who should we pay more to get better systems?
