    @willyzdub @etrade Honestly none of them are all that good it seems - my fidelity and ibkr glitch all the time... Maybe they think traders have to work that much harder or something...

    @etrade Worst trading app! Stay away! Execution latency and platform lag are major complaints among active traders on E*TRADE, especially during periods of high market volatility. The platform frequently frustrates day traders and options scalpers.

    Trevor Robinson (@TrevorGirlDad) reported

    It's incredible how frustrating @etrade is to deal with. Worst support, every back and forth takes 3-5 business days, no updates unless you reach out to check in, and the list goes on.

    Of course @etrade is down and I can’t sell

    Our stock purchase is through @etrade but the service is awful and can't connect to anyone. Next employee pulse meeting, will bring this up to see if a different platform would be better who provides better support.

    @BLSmith2112 @etrade oh I am sorry, Brandon. Anything I can help you with?

    @jpmorgan @etrade how do you change margin requirements on $nbis without any notice? It’s been trading in its current range for months. Getting an outrageous margin call without any notification is horrible customer service. 30 year customer now looking for another platform.

    @etrade Fix the broken charts on your app

    @etrade E*TRADE is a brokerage built in 2007 and maintained by carrier pigeons. Awful communication, archaic platform, and customer service that exists only in legend. Don’t switch for the bonus. If you’re already there, leave—you don’t know what good service feels like.

    If @CharlesSchwab is giving you trouble purchasing $ntrp join us over at @etrade …they’ll let you load the boat down here and ride this one up…let’s go

    @Kslaze @etrade This **** is on purpose I’m convinced. When a big move is made and they owe a lot of money suddenly the site is down and you can’t fulfill orders. Not the first time this has happened to me. Every time I’m up huge they glitch. Such bullshit. Moving my money after this

    @JunkSavvy @CharlesSchwab @etrade They didn't give the fraction, they rounded down.

    Etrade is down... get your **** together or I will leave the platform after nearly 20 years of being a customer. @etrade @MorganStanley

  • CharlieBHarper
    Charlie Harper (@CharlieBHarper) reported

    @etrade A day or so after the initial exchange, I got a call from someone at @etrade. He immediately asked me to give him personally identifiable information. This is one of the worst practices across multiple industries that is helping propagate identify theft. It needs to be banned.

    Rae Shore (@RShore19) reported

    @etrade Whoever uses @etrade is an idiot...4 hrs and the platform shuts down..I was a customer since 1995 and I did a commercial for you..Now i will do a commercial for @Schwab!!They're the best

    @etrade Stay away, if you are not aware of the **** etrade pulls you have no business enrolling , take it from somebody who definitely was run through the ringer by them ...and their customer service is sub par.

    @AccessIPOs @etrade @MorganStanley Yes have to give them credit - they fix their IPO process and are doing a much better job w allocations. I've been complaining since 2016 about how they restrict setting up trades pre open but after a rocky last few years they solved that problem too.

  • nitsujader
    Justin Reda (@nitsujader) reported

    Hey @etrade since your feedback form fails to submit: Got locked out of my account because you decided to send a text message without mentioning that message is coming. This is a terrible user experience and is making me consider closing the account. There is no way to turn off that setting either? I just need to expect some trades might have a confirmation follow up now? wtf?

    @etrade FALSE ALARM. I just now remembering the password and email. I really need to write down my credentials. 😓😓😓😓😓😓

  • CharlieBHarper
    Charlie Harper (@CharlieBHarper) reported

    @etrade That call, where I was again told there was a "known technical problem" was resolved, despite it taking the online agent 45 minutes of mostly delayed, circular conversation before he attempted to understand the problem, much less direct me to a solution. But he continued to tell me he couldn't get into any specifics unless I capitulated on my identifying data.

    @etrade Your website does not send a code to login from a new computer when requested. How long is this problem going to continue?

    @etrade There are good days and there are bad days; and, there are days you make promises that you are sure to keep. Get out the checkbook.

    @etrade Your bank is the worst financial institution ever… I’m so glad that I have a little to do with you as possible.

  • GfVault
    GF Vault (@GfVault) reported

    @etrade @MorganStanley customer service says the department controlling my restricted account has no customer-facing phone number, cannot speak with me, and provides no updates—even internally. Nearly $10,000 remains frozen while I’m told to keep waiting with no timeline.

  • slumbum
    Edmund J. Janas (@slumbum) reported

    @ETRADE @MorganStanley Froze all my accounts, including Social Security, over a $118 overdraft. Blocked me from linking outside funds to fix it. Phone and chat both dead ends today. Need funds for food and meds. Zero urgency/care Twenty years a customer. I need this resolved.

    @etrade Their new platform is absolutely terrible.
