Well, I don't know if anyone has noticed it or not. But Web Street has been having some major problems the last few days.... Started Friday, was really bad yesterday...and happened again this afternoon. Order status not showing up.... Dropped executions...account balances and positions not updating. Server errors.... Just about everything. I talked to a Cust Serv Rep this afternoon after the market closed and he says that US Clearing tried some kind of swap on the database today during market hours and their server dropped about 4-5 hours of trade data. Luckily, they have backups and everyone's executions should show back up sometime overnight. The Cust. Serv. Rep said... "if they don't have this fixed by the open of the market in the AM, I plan on getting on a plane to NY and busting some kneecaps" LOL Lee
