    @etrade Down for the second time in 2 days. 15 minutes in and no status on orders placed before the open. No price discovery on 80% of my positions. You realize people trade at the open - right?

  • ATrancucci Anthony Trancucci (@ATrancucci) reported

    @etrade do you guys have workers? Been on the phone for 25 minutes waiting for customer service. This is ridiculous.

  • fedupbizowner ALMOSTunfedupbizowner (@fedupbizowner) reported

    @etrade silver is down 6% this morning. Will you be reducing margin requirements so I can buy more on the dip?

  • mattuntalented8 Matt (@mattuntalented8) reported

    @NatalieVlad @0001_Trader @etrade dont do etrade. they pretend to crash at open every day as a way to restrict buying/selling.

  • galblank Gal (@galblank) reported

    @etrade fix your ****, 30 min downtime for options is unacceptable

  • GreenTeamDFLY DFLY (@GreenTeamDFLY) reported

    @etrade No update on the site or here...30 mins in still no option chains. I am shocked at the bs after open last days from L2s to option chains to executions to wait times etc. I really want to stay a pro etrade customer but this stuff needs to be fixed and addressed! ASAP PPL!

  • Sockslynks Socks (@Sockslynks) reported

    @etrade No other service I use requires me to CALL to reset my password. Is this some kind of joke?

  • fedupbizowner ALMOSTunfedupbizowner (@fedupbizowner) reported

    @etrade silver is down 6% this morning. Will you be reducing margin requirements you IMPLEMENTED YESTERDAY and made due IMMEDIATELY to screw every single person over. I would like to buy more on the dip. Fair is fair. Reduce the margins. What say you? #criminalcabal

  • nycmusiclover NYCMUSICLOVER (@nycmusiclover) reported

    F*ing @etrade again! Doesn't allow extended hours trades on OTC, yet @Fidelity does. Wish I had known this before i needed to make an after-hours trade. Buy-bye Etrade. Oh and thanks for still not responding to my customer service email from Friday about a problematic trade.
