Schwab Down

Amazing 40 minutes into the market and still no response from the POS Schwab.

Here is there message in RED:

Yep, I get nothing out of this. I just want to make sure that people are aware that tasty are out there. The tech is simple, effective and backed up by knowledgeable ( ex traders) support teams. The email response is EXCELLENT and the shows are informative and fun. This is NOT spam, just a real effort to give back to the community.

their commission is expensive but have a following for sure.
 
Just unbelievable. That merge has been so disappointing and awful. On multiple levels, Schwab even with the ToS platform is inferior to Ameritrade.
 
Our tech ran the wholesale treasury back offices for the globals ( DB, SocGen, Barclays et al) FX,bonds,swaps etc. We never went down ( HP high availability and fault tolerant coding). Another aspect was that we had to import other people's tech when banks took over smaller ones. At first it was a nightmare mostly due to poor documentation, bad design and incumbent resistance to change. After about 2 - 3 of them we got the process down. I know a little about this area and this slub effort is poor up to legally actionable. I don't know the legal ins and outs of this situation BUT I do know this is poor and will probably get far worse. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the best and brightest from TOS/TD got out and into TT et al.

Is that you, Tom? :D If it's you, hell, spam as much as you want.
 
tom surrounded by chartists and technical wonks these days, wouldn't wish that on anyone :) GREAT group of people all round. Got to feel for him, watching what slub did to his wonderful product.
slub are nothing but a massed group of "where are all the customer's yachts" characters. Ask them what a back ratio is, I dare you :-) How about spell PUT or CALL.
