Sterling Platform Performance

That was fun yesterday.
Had an order out for 3K short ACN at 34.89 right before the problem. Had no idea they were announcing after the close. Hit cxl and it was hanging. Was a ton of fun watching it sitting there hanging while it started to rip. Had no clue if i was filled and in a $3K loser.
When I called sterling- got the standard canned response- we aren't experiencing any problems. Uhhhh, yeah right. So tired of that lie.
Anyway.....just thought I would share. Every freakn day.....they really need to add pipe or lines or something. Its getting unbearable.

lol look at sterlings main business. i bet 70% of there business is titlel trading out of canada. i'm willing to bet an assent or most other outfits would never touch a title due to most of there traders being outside the us
All platforms have their share of issues.
Right now- Sterling is using the excuse you just cited- they are adding too many traders and their hardware can't handle the volume.
Of course, this is the same excuse we heard 6 years ago- and the same excuse all platforms use.
If their hardware can't handle the volume- don't add new traders until you upgrade your damn system.
I think you need to differentiate people who use the Sterling platform to log in to Sterling's servers or their own firm's servers. Most of the frozen order issues are from people logging into Sterling's servers, I think. I have not seen those issues at my firm where we use our own servers.
