Every retail investment firm is struggling at the moment. FT has held up better than most.

Replies in here are amazing!

Freetrade are handling this better than all the other platforms and they certainly arenā€™t choosing to stop trading like the others are. Bare with them, itā€™s taking a little longer than normal but it gets done

I get your point, but to be unable to buy or sell any share since the market opened (almost one hour) is way over the top. Iā€™m not necessarily talking about WSB stocks.

And current situation could be predicted easily.

OK find another app which is doing better? They are all struggling right now due to huge volatility. In other words many people sitting at home trying to make a quick buck is hitting the exchanges hard and making it hard to get a price for anyone.

What do you mean? Thereā€™s no Russian roulette. Either a reasonable price is given and itā€™s executed or itā€™s not.

How would you say theyā€™re handling better than other platforms?

Prices are either unretrievable or take an age to load, and the majority of orders (WSB stocks or not) are taking 60+ seconds to queue. Oh and the chat is completely overwhelmed, even on Freetrade Plus.

Why are you on here if you hate it so much?

Yep - I am - but the majority of my investments are with Freetrade and theyā€™ve been doing brilliantly up until this point. Iā€™d rather not switch, but thereā€™s a clear show of which platform is handling it better right now.

With other companies that literally hold your shares in their name :joy: go for it buddy! Iā€™ll stick with freetrade and let you run off to a platform that makes their money when customer lose :+1:t2:

You canā€™t switch from FT to Revolut though right? It doesnā€™t allow you to move shares in from what I understand, and you canā€™t move shares out from there - same as with their Bitcoin trading.

Prettu sure all the other platforms have actually crashed fully so Iā€™m not sure why youā€™d think freetrade arenā€™t coping.
Granted its taking a while but thatā€™s because the market is going crazy. But theyā€™re are still going

Any idea when things will be back to normal? Have tried to place some trades and keep being rejected. (Not Gamestop btw)

Iā€™ve found in it okay today but maybe if theyā€™re low volume? Sometimes you have to try a few times or break the order up into chunks.

thanks, tried 7 times now for the same share. will try again later, donā€™t expect much movement on these particular shares today anyhow, suspect may still be some fallout from yesterday.
