(Zero Hedge)—US retail traders are panicking this AM after likely receiving push notifications on their smartphones about market turmoil in Asia and Europe, which has since spread to the US premarket. Now that the cash session is about 15 minutes underway, website monitor DownDector reports outages are emerging across several major US brokerage houses as everyone tries to log into their accounts and sell stocks.
DownDector reports that users of Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Ameritrade, Vanguard, and E-Trade are all reporting website outages, which have been surging around the start of the US cash session.

🚨 https://t.co/wGXe2KE5ya, formerly ThinkorSwim, shows a "technical problem" and is already preventing trades, while Robinhood has halted trading on their site. These financial institutions are protecting their rigged and corrupt legacy systems. It's time for change! pic.twitter.com/NsYnxr59ML

Weird. I can't log on to my brokerage account to buy more $TSLA. Tried multiple times. Something tells me this is not by accident looking at how red the market is today.

@CharlesSchwab won’t even let me log into my account. Have to appreciate the flimsy infrastructure of these brokerage firms on days where it’s most critical to have eyes on your portfolio and be in a position to take action that best fits your own needs. #crash

Hmmm.
They solved the problem. You cannot dump your stocks if you cannot log in.
