E-Trade Denying Users Login Access 30 Minutes Ahead Of Fed Minutes
It appears that E-Trade has some log-in issues with its website, since for the past 15 minutes anyone who tries to log into their account, gets the following error screen.
As of this posting, it is unclear if the access denied this is a bug, a hack, or simply a test of the emergency preparedness system for when everyone tries to log in to sell... and just can't log in.
Whatever the reason, being unable to log into one of the widest used discount brokers 30 minutes ahead of the most important news event of the day is hardly good marketing.
Finally, there is always the possibility that this is merely a grand rehearsal for the release of Obama*Trade.

"What to do next?". Classic. Jump??
I can log in.
Read the story, ON THE DAY OF 30 minutes BEFORE FED ! I can log in now too, but, not for long if you catch the drift!
The important thing is to be logged on so that you can beat the exchange co-located quant controlled HFT servers that got the information minutes prior to the time that it was released.
I logged in a little bit ago and sold 3 trillion tons of gold. I really meant 3 ounces but when I went to undo the trade I got a message saying that function isn't allowed for muppets only muppet masters.
I'm going to have to assume this was what fedgov meant when they said they were ending data lockups.

You know, fair and all that.
How do you like your market order?
"If you go into a room and you do not know who the 'Mark' is... You are the Mark".
Apparently, Etrade members (and by fiat, everyone else) are the Mark? no?

I just tried and I am UNABLE to login...oh well I haven't traded equities in years, now back to FX and Crypto trading...
I cannot. 'eff 'em. They lost a customer.
Scottrade had the same problem this morning. Although, if you are using their home system that is NOT cloud based. Your In.
So Much for the new cloud agenda.
well at least i made one good decision in 2013. i liquidated everything and moved my duckets out a few weeks ago.
"Glitch"?
I'm in just fine, been all day.
Mine is dead....thanks I was wondering wtf!
We must be going up right?
The on-line equivalent of an empty ATM.
Yellen: No more QE, EVER! BWAHAHAHHAAAAA!
At this point, you're playing chicken if youre not out.
Bingo.
Are you with the NSA? How did you know I was playing with my chicken?
You are assumed to be playing with your chicken until you can prove youre not.
Be reasonable! How can a brokerage frontrun its clients if it allows them to login before important announcements?
Srsly. WTF?
i heard scottrade was all fuxx0red up today too
yup, down for an hour at the open.
I couldn't get into Scottrade for a while this morning.
PEOPLE PLEASE!!
LET THE INSIDERS WHO NEED TO BUY AND SELL GO FIRST IN A ORDERLY FASHION!!!
ETrade baby says: "Oh, you can't log in? This is my shocked face."
Bank run? Not online.
Can't log in either...
Does Tyler use E-trade??
thats why i use Mega-trader.
fuckin hellicopter bra.
I'd respect the man that said Charles River with Oasys for clearing.
thank god my trading platform is made by europeans....
like they say...
never trust a online american plaform when a login is required... just saying...
"If you like your money, you can keep your money--if you can log in, that is."
The banksters'/Corzine creed: "The money in your account is yours, however the account is ours."
this has to be good for business
FAWK!!!!
UNTAPER BITCHEZ!
smith barney makes money the old fashioned way ...'we steal it'
remember these brokerages?????
Update, just got knocked off, can't get back in...
Apologies, but we cannot find that page.
How in the world can they lose a web page? Did the dog eat it? Did they log onto Yahoo Europe recently and get some malware? Was the disk spinning too fast and all the zeros rolled off, leaving only ones?
If they send me all their disks, I'll find the web page for them.
My guess this is a hack. They have been through most "routine" blips before...
what are the so afraid of? an e-trade baby can bring down all of western finance now
Doubt the baby did it but I've always been suspicious of the dog.
NSA modifications in progress. Please stand by.
Exactly. NSA lost their tracking ability due to new eTrade updates so the NSA hit it with a denial attack until they figure out a way back in.
Must be the really big orders come over the phone!
Maybe someone wanted to buy some e-gold. Can't have that now, can we? Sell side okay, buy side not allowed.
ObamaTrade
If you like your money I can keep your money.
The other day, Optionshouse was out from 9:30 am to 2:54 pm on a Friday weekly options expiration day.
Don't worry - it's just a preview for the great bail-in that will happen in the US. All brokerage accounts and banks will turn off their on-line access, brick-and-mortar banks will have a 'closed' sign hanging on the door, ATMs will limit you to $100 a day to withdraw, and meanwhile --- The Fed, Wall Street, the big banks, and all of their cronies will be transferring their 'wealth' out of the country. Once they are done doing that, the government will announce that you will be able to trade you old Federal Reserve Notes for new 'Obama notes' on a 10-to-1 basis.
Those new issues would more properly be called Zero-notes, indicating their true value.
Exactly. Only the "When" is unknown.
10 to 1, my, aren't you the optimist.
As long as the peasants are held at bay, the royalty will play.
BUY MORE STAWKS HOES!!!!
what a farce
Can't wait to see what Nanex shows unless someone managed to jam them also.
FYI as of 225 est i was able to log on via my smartphone app ...
You have your money parked in this sham...why?
You're just asking to be Corzined.
Fuck. That.
I'm done with it.
Yes, it's a dry run and taste of what's to come. They will not be there when you need them, to buy or sell or do anything.
Saxo and Rand baby...
rest my f*cking case
