Yup, they've been down for over an hour. The only acknowledgement is a cut-and-paste response to complaints on Twitter. I was online no problem until about 0925 ET when I lost connectivity.

Things were okay for me for years with them, but I'm flashing back to the dark days 6-8 years ago when every ToS update caused hideous problems. Tempted to re-consider moving to IB or elsewhere. Will be sad to leave as I've been with ToS/TDA since 2007 and for the most part it's been a solid experience, but .... I dunno. at least I don't have any critical positions on that need care and feeding this morning.

I was connected at 6:00 a.m. My Occidental stock was showing $14.47, I didn't realize it had lost connection till I tried to place an order on another stock, but wouldn't go through. My OXY stock had dropped $800 Thanks ToS

I did a couple of positive trades from https://www.tdameritrade.com/home.page this morning, but still not the same as TOS.

I use Downdetector for other services (e.g. Xbox Live for my kids, Netflix, Amazon Alexa) but decided to see what it came up for TD Ameritrade.

Looks like TD is having some major problems today.

My ToS is back up, 2 hours later. Will it last?

Glad I don't do any active trading on it -- or had any positions needing attention this morning!
