Thought it was just me.. ASB is not handling the volumes well at all.

If they can’t cope maybe they need to come up with a system that prioritises $30k trades over the $3 trades.
ASB now have a banner that states:
Since approximately 11:45 am today, the NZX has been experiencing technical difficulties which are affecting any order placement/amendments/cancellations in reaching the market. We will provide updates via this banner as soon as the NZX provides further information. We apologise for any inconveniencethis may cause.
I have placed 4 orders today, 1 sell at opening and 3 buys close to lunchtime. They orders are all showing as being completed, but only the sell first thing this morning is showing in My Trades, or on the portfolio page.
Are services like interactive brokers better ? Or is this just on NZXs end like ASB are saying lol
I created an order earlier in the day and when it wasn’t enacted after an hour and a half of market movements I cancelled it.
I created another order near the end of the day and an oddly similar trade was placed shortly there after.
My cancelled order is still cancelling and the placed order is still pending on ASB.
Now I don’t know if either order has traded, both orders are still pending, the cancelled one traded and the other is pending ... But hey .. it is only a potential $60k in limbo. As long as the $2 traders are being catered to we will be alright.
