Aug 5 (Reuters) - Online trading platforms Charles Schwab (SCHW.N), opens new tab, Fidelity Investments and TD Ameritrade were down for thousands of users on Monday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.

 

I noticed the trick was to get on hours before the open. Or not logging out. If so, you stay connected.

 

Fidelity's working fine for me. But can't login to Schwab

 

Fidelity all the way, Schwab is shit

 

I got a phone call about 10 minutes ago. "I'd like to open a checking account". I'm sorry we do not offer Checking. What company are you trying to reach. "Charles Schwab.". I'm sorry, we are not Charles Schwab. " Can you transfer me?" Sorry, but you call the wrong company, I can't do that.

 

I still dont understand that after 30 years of these types of market moves and volatility since the on coming age of online trading that still to this day they can't figure out how to keep systems up and running during heavy volatility. Can't these programmers test their systems accordingly for these type of market behaviors?

And they think ai is going to run the world.....haaaaaaaa....fools

 

Updated Reuters article... Vanguard is also down for many users.

(Reuters) - Online brokerages including Charles Schwab and Fidelity Investments were down for thousands of users on Monday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.

The reports come against the backdrop of a global rout, with Wall Street's indexes tumbling at the open after weak economic data and drab second-quarter earnings sparked recession fears and prompted a rush out of everything from equities to crypto.

Schwab was down for more than 15,300 users while outage reports on Fidelity reached over 3,000, Downdetector showed.

The website tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including users.

Vanguard and TD Ameritrade also saw thousands of outage reports, the website showed.

 

They're marketing firms, not professional trading firms.

 

Nice to know CS is Full service with occasional no service.

 

Lightspeed Trader, Lightspeed Web&Mobile, Sterling Trader Pro, EZE EMS and CBOE Silexx (I hope I don't jinx it), are all operating normally today.
