Yeah I remember how last time the stock market went up rapidly, they shut down every major trading platform.

Very legitimate, not at all fake and gay

So I'm confused why this is having such a big impact on the US markets.

It's one thing when the US fucks it all and everyone else who owns massive US debt and trades everything in the reserve currency gets fucked along with us.

But why in the world does the Yen collapsing (again) impact us whatsoever? This seems a bit retarded to me and seems like a sell off with no apparent reasoning behind it.

Fidelity, both .com and ATP are down for me. Unable to log in either. Gotta love it. They always find a way to keep the retail trader out.

I think all but 2 of my positions had open orders to close, so I hope I am ok and/or they would still execute.

Added $8k cash to my individual and SEP to throw into the fire.

Might drop it all in MSTR.

Neat, so once again traders taking way too much risk with leverage and now the house of cards is crashing on them.

I guess this is the downside where every investment in the world is shit so everyone throws it into the US stock markets. When their own shit collapses, it now takes us with it because we're effectively the world market now.

Just like the banks here in the US though, this should've been incredibly easy to hedge against. It's not like rate hikes were a massive surprise, especially with how slow this shit has been going.

Look at how peaceful the world is though! Since all economies are interconnected wars don't happen anymore.

I made sure I had ATP opened early plus keeping web log in refreshed. Probably too many people waited till market open to try to log in. We are already grinding in misty thicket and dinging lvl 7 while others cant get past character creation.

I got into ATP earlier, but had 2 trades not go through. (Posted the error earlier)

Seems cleared up now.

That said, the trade room I am in has complaints from pretty much every broker. Fidelity, Schwab (ToS), Vanguard, ETrade, you name it.
