Most Major Retail Brokerages Suffer Outages As ‘Meme Stock’-Mania Continues

Downdetector reports customers of E-Trade, TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, Robinhood, and Fidelity are experiencing outages and issues 30 minutes into the US cash session on Thursday.

E-Trade outages and issues were detected around the cash session start. 

The outage map shows E-Trade disruptions are widespread. 

TD Ameritrade users are reporting issues as well. 

The outage map shows TD Ameritrade disruptions are from coast to coast. 

Possible problems were spotted at Charles Schwab.
