What a Monday!
I am a daily trader in equities. I say daily trader because day trader seems to have so many negative connotations. Anyways, we all know how grueling just getting up and going can be on a Monday morning. Imagine when you see this on you login to your broker!
IMPORTANT: Due to a technical issue clients may be unable to connect through our web, mobile, and desktop trading platforms. We are working to address the issue.
WTF? I use Interactive Brokers. They were early adaptors of low commission trades back in the day. However, they also had a large institutional side that seemed (till now) to insure quality.
I have used IBKR for ages and have never had a problem. However that is to be expected. This is pretty mission critical when talking about folks money. I never thought it would not be resolved by the open, but here were are and not much more good has come out of it...
Apparently their highly resilient system was not that resilient after all!
Hope your week is starting off better than mine!
