Robinhood frequently goes down during busy trade windows. It's bad enough that I warn people against using them if they intend to do any kind of active trading.

I maintain accounts on Robinhood, TD, and Interactive Brokers.

Typically, Robinhood is always down at market open (even on low volume days).

On high volume days, IB has been down several times.

However, the thinkorswim platform on TD is great and I've yet to encounter downtime.

Vanguard, Robinhood, Charles Schwab, and TD Ameritrade are all having outages.

Fidelity Active Trader Pro has been flaky all day, intermittently freezing when streaming data is temporarily lost.

WealthSimple is still functioning fine here in Canada. They're probably just overloading their servers.

can't even access my vanguard account. Hearing reports from friends/family across the board that they can't access their financial accounts. Fidelity, Schwab, more.

DEGIRO for example does not work AT ALL. It is still showing prices from last day. What an unreliable service.

Interactive Brokers seem cheap and have APIs and apps for everything.
