Would be interesting to get reports on how your broker handled these big volume (panic) days? I can't log in to TDAmeritrade for the last hour. IB seems to be doing well. On the flash crash two weeks ago, Fidelity had problems. Thanks, Stosh.
Here is a post on this forum about TWS freezing in the last few days. The OP is doing something extreme (for TWS capacity) though.
no problem with my Fidelity Account - can't access TD Ameritade account, and all lines are busy. no way to get through even by email.
lost an extra $167 today at td ameritrade because I could not get through, but when I did and sold . I was lucky, would have lost another $62 so far
