*sigh* Looks like more pain today. From ASB website:
Service Disruption
The NZX experienced technical difficulties on the 20th of April which affected order placement/amendments/cancellations in reaching the market. The issue has since been resolved however there are delays in bookings and confirmations of orders which did trade, therefore orders may not be reflecting the correct status online, and trade notifications not received. We are working through manual updates as a priority. In addition we are experiencing issues with orders reaching the market this morning, of which we are working on resolving as a priority. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.
I put in a trade yesterday, after two hours with it not even getting on to market the opportunity had passed so I first raised my sell price to a silly amount, then put through a cancelation. This was yesterday afternoon, the trade is still showing as "Cancellation created". Reading ASB's message, I have no idea whether this has gone through or not ("
orders may not be reflecting the correct status online").
Hopeless.
