This will be changed!

For some reason I feel like this string of comments is all the same person and the person who downvoted everything. Trolls...

We're aware of this, and it is an easy fix that we have in place. However, we don't have tons of users at the moment, and we don't assume people are jack**es.

One reason why we made http://brokenbrokers.com/ is because brokers are so unreliable. Nearly once a week, outages prevent individuals from trading DURING TRADING HOURS.

In one poll conducted in the FinTwit community, about 70% of individuals said they could not trade because of an outage at some point. Wild.

We're hoping to bring light to this issue, and hold brokers responsible.
