In November I begun to trade Options with a small direct access Broker and once I would open up the Option-Chain my platform collapsed. This Brokerage I use for rapid fire trades, quick decisions, but this has proved deadly with Weekly Options and Fast stocks. This week, the platform crashed over 100 times and I have been on their "Help Platform" for all my computers since November 20th, 2013. Trading with this Broker seemed decent and I never had this problem until I started getting OPRA LL2 Qoutes and "POOOF!", it breaks down and tells me to send their help desk a message. Has anyone on Elite Trader had problems with their Trading Platform and what would you do about it? I got clipped for $5000 ($8300 actually if you include profits from a trade) when I put my order in for a stock at $5.25 my platform crashed and when it was back up and running, the stock was falling fast and hard. I take all blame for trading radical fast stocks and know that platform break-downs are no impossible, my question is why the troubles started when I began trading options and opening up one OPRA LL2 and Stock LL2 cause's the program to implode. The help at this brokerage said "Stocks like Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter cause duress on their program", is this a lame excuse or should I leave this platform and move on? The platform crashed many times today and I don't like sitting back for two hours trying to reformat my computer so their program will work. Fidelity Active trader "No Crashes or Problems" Etrade Pro No Crashes or Problems Options Express No problems because it's a web-based thing. Just2Trade No errors or crashes, just troublesome to get Option Quotes and modify orders but it's tiny platform (J-Trader) does not collapse like this high-tech platform. Can you get Apple, Tesla, Facebook, Twitter and IACI quotes LL2 and OPRA LL2 without your platform dying or providing you with late quotes?
