THINK OR SWIM ON DEMAND UPDATE

Nothing nefarious going Sorry you got burned. Long winded, but to answer the original question, I think it is common knowledge that these companies make money on 'order flow.' And, they have everything to lose by not providing a good, reliable product. We can all only imagine the types of questions they are getting from the 'get rich quick' novices, LOL.so I just don't call them. That was a while back, so hopefully that has improved. Of course I did not wait, trying to figure out the problem myself. I have actually been informed upon calling that the wait time would be 3, yes THREE hours. BUT, I have had an issue when I tried to call TDA. No noticeable performance problems (with the new computer, though). As other traders have said, I have TOS running all day long, from 5AM central to 5PM. This has caused a huge surge in usage both on the platform and in the customer service area. The number of new accounts at TDA, Robinhood, ETrade, etc. One is the virus (representatives working from home), the other is the growing number of people that want to be millionaires trading Apple and Tesla. My biggest concern with TDA in general is that two things occurred.

I have now started being ready for anything on Sunday night, Monday morning, because they seem to update TOS over the weekend, and in addition to the crashes some time back forcing me to buy a new laptop (they are making the platform more complex, so older equipment will have issues), I am always watching now for bugs, and have had to deal with charts changing and other oddities. But as I mentioned in another post, I did start having TOS crashes after a weekend update several months back. I haven't used On Demand, so I can't say anything about that. If I may weigh in, I was new to TOS around the beginning of the year. Have you noticed any of these issues or anything related? They have to make up for those losses somehow, and I hope it's not slower ECN's and a less stable trading platform. All of a sudden, a bunch of candles will just explode on to the screen.ДЄs I'm sure you've probably heard, TD Ameritrade lost over $10,000,000,000 in market value the day they announced their zero commission offer. When I try to change the time, it doesn't work half the time, and I also have issues with candlesticks loading. I've also noticed a dramatic decline in the stability of their OnDemand trading platform. I've never had these issues before and I trade the same 8 stocks everyday, so I know how their price action behaves very well, and this is EXTREMELY abnormal. I'm having stop losses being totally blown through, which could be a sign that they are using slower ECN's to cut down on their fees. I've noticed two major issues with ThinkorSwim since they announced their Zero Commission trade offer.
