What fail-safe systems do you have in place?

This large blackout in NYC has me thinking... Do you have a plan for if your power/internet goes out while you have an open position? Has anyone ever had this happen?

I have the DasTrader app on my phone and Ipad both with separate data packages 

However, I'm not sure if that would work doing a citywide blackout.

I'm glad I asked this, I didn't know there was an app. Thanks, Kasper.

I have a UPS that will give me enough time to close out all of my positions and power down. If internet went out, then as Kasper said there's the app. If cell towers are down I'm calling IB on my landline.

Marcel, I have pretty much the same set up.

So I am trialing a solution called Speedify, that integrates Wifi - LTE connection through a VPN. This can be a great solution for those that are traveling and need connection stability.

I do not work for them and have not paid for the service. I am using free trial. Just wanted to let you know.
