Yes that is the case and I thought that may be the issue. I asked the Questrade rep through the chat function if that was the issue, but they didn't seem to think so. They opened a case #. Hoping that is the situation and it will just appear this week
STAY AWAY from Questrade!!!!!!!!

Yeah I've noticed that we (the users) sometimes seem to know the system better than the reps - don't worry, they'll show up

Depending on the broker, dividends can take up to 2 extra weeks to show up if dripped.

So is Questrade down again for everyone, or just me?

yeah my IQ edge stopped working and can't get on to the web platform either. JUST as the market opened. VERY frustrating!!!!Ismellofhockey wrote: ↑ So is Questrade down again for everyone, or just me?
On the web version i'm getting the message "Oops! You've entered an invalid user ID or password. Please re-enter."

Wow this is disappointing. I've been with Questrade for less than 2 months and they have gone down twice in that time period. Looks like my limit order didn't even go through while the system was down. Maybe it is time to go back to a big broker.

My IQ Edge just went back online. Still, a 10-15 minute downtime during market hours, especially for day traders is not acceptable.

Yup. At this rate there is no more excuses for Questrade any more
Now they have this message up
We're making some changes
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We're updating our systems and working to have everything back up as soon as possible.
Not a good time to make changes/update DURING trading hours

Maybe saving $5 a trade compared to big brokers isn't that much when you are losing hundreds because you can't place orders.

That's just marketing. "Making some changes" sounds more in control than "We **** up and don't know what to do, so hang in there".

The best part is my limit order didn't even go through while the system was down even though it was placed before it went down. Nearly half an hour outage during trading hours what a joke.

i agree. I have swing trades that i am publicly seeing going down the toilet as we speak on margin. i would've expected that QT has redundancy and failsafes in place. I have relatives work at TSX in QA and for banking software that say something like this should never happen.

I'm having a hard time understanding how orders placed before it went down weren't filled, do they not have any redundancies placed for situations like these like you said? Also literally the worst time for the system to go down.
