TD Ameritrade Breaks, Experiencing "Widespread Order-Routing" Problems
We already know that markets and exchanges only break on downdays. So does that mean that on days in which algos are indescriminatly buying ES as follow through from China's stock market manipulation and Greece's "hopes" for can kicking, investors are safe? Nope, as one of the most popular online discount brokers found out moments ago:
- TD AMERITRADE EXPERIENCING "WIDESPREAD" ORDER-ROUTING PROBLEMS - OFFICE OF PRESIDENT: RTRS
- TD AMERITRADE SAYS EVEN ORDERS THAT WERE ACCEPTED ARE STALLED
Were some TDA traders maliciously selling China stocks overnight one wonders, or did Ameritrade also decide to do a "software update" in the middle of the trading day?
At least the broader market is up for now. If, however, there is an "unexpected" German "nein" headline, keep an eye on those "self-help" messages...

Router upgrade?
Isn't this SOP for dealing with the unwashed retail masses? I am sure the insiders get to sell into the PPT ramp, but they can't have retail in the way while they dump.
Hahaha ... I wish this shit would crash and burn, but it won't any time soon ... maybe after the next election for El Presedente.

Can't keep up with all the BTFD buy orders, I see.
It could also be an issue with Red Hat Linux OS being used in both NYSE and most brokerage firms including TD Ameritrade.
The NYSE glitch was due to a bug in RHEL. Suspicious that TD Ameritrade is having issues today.

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
Maybe the Chinese Government is on to something

"Hi, this is Wendy from Creverand. What can I be herping you to do today?"
Absolutely not. Everything is OK because I heard just yesterday that the FBI has vetted all possibilities and any conspiracy theory is illegitimate. They said on the news that it was a mere coincidence. Y'all can't tell me everything is a conspiracy...

More "kludge" work by the federal government testing out some new system to take control of the market. When a thief has information on a credit card, normally the thief makes a few small test purchases to see if the buys are unnoticed by card company security. Something similar seems to be happening now. If that is the situation, the "big one," where there is a massive ripoff using the "tailored" malware, could happen at any time. Probably during a major bank and business holiday in the country targeted.
I blame the day trade baby
Router upgrade?
Is it possible that US Corporations have the wrong kind of routers? .. The ones with back doors? hmmm?
Unconceivable!
I hope the scratchoff reader machine down at the Stop N' Rob dont go down...I'm all out of beer on a Friday and sitting on a few $3 dollar winners!
I believe they are swamped with sell orders which is also the reason I believe the NYSE shut down 2 days ago. No proof just my belief.
Translation: "The HFT dark pool we sell all of our retail order flow to is having trouble ripping off our customers".
I am laughing loud enough that others would hear it if they were here.
Markets are too critical to operations to allow the retail inverstor to be part of them.
Anyone monitoring the Norse map?
I don't know how this thing gets populated but I do know it slows my muppet line down to a crawl.

That Nigerian dude is busy, ill check my spam
im going to see the future here. it was due to a computer glitch in a new software build they were rolling-out.
... quick, Aladdin, where's the lamp ...
If you can't jail 'em for selling, shut the system. "Long" is going = stupid real soon.
I think they are upgrading their computer screens, will halt trading till Monday! The fat CNBC trader told us so.
Unplug it and wait ten seconds. If that doesn't work we will be there between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm next Tuesday to Fix the problem.
There's plenty of internet in Calaforny.
Better yet, unplug it for ten days.
"glitch"
On the Monday after Greek referendum online brokers were laggy. Choppy weeks
It is back up running ok now
Fire, fire, fire in the theater.
I smell another hacking.
We'll know for sure when we start hearing about orders to sell XOM somehow magically being converted into purchases of the SHCOMP index.
E trade baby is next
Closed account. Everyone should.
When milliseconds count. Your trade is only an hour away.
Crash prevention team strikes again.
FUCK YOU YELLEN!!!
Yeah, the NYSE doing a software update in the middle of the trading day stunk to high heaven.
NOBODY in the I.T. business updates anything at the peak of activity, that's what 2:00 a.m. is for.
At least ZH still works!
Gotta stop those Chinese revenge trades. Pull the plug when the order comes through! America, fuck yeah

should read all the sell orders were broken
Apparently we're being attacked by a shitload of pink beachballs,
China looks pissed.... as does France.

Way better hacktrack site than even Zero posted just the other day. It answers the volume question. There was NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY when everything crashed! Hackers apparently love Christmas-time and New Years.
I filled a premarket order this morning without difficulty. TDA requires a limit order for premarket and mine was filled instantly.
When money managers start demanding all their retail client orders go to IEX things might improve. Unfortunately don't hold your breath.
Ahhhhhhh 'technologies'.....the same reason I won't use real money to play poker online.
