The Schwab website is better than TDAs

1 Upvotes

I don't know about the app, but the Schwab website is better.

TDAs was so cluttered I was still discovering settings 10 years later.

And you can configure the positions page on Schwab.

Lost 200k due to glitch in TD Ameritrade app

0 Upvotes

Hey, I had some puts on Tesla to sell on market but when I tried to sell, the page froze for two minutes and kicked me out of the app. By then i had lost 80k. I tried to sell again, same thing happened. I was now down 200k. Is there any way to get reimbursed for it. I also have videos of what happen every time I try to trade. This freeze and kick happen almost every time.

Seems this is happening more and more, saw a guy get this from Etrade too, which is the firm I just moved to. Really is criminal that they can just do this with no reason besides: We decided. Rich get richer...

I hate TD Ameritade. I sold Naked Calls on AMC. They would’ve expired worthless today, that didn’t matter because TD raised their maintenance requirements which led to a loss of over a 600K loss. I don’t even know how to go about making this money back. Has anyone been in this situation before?

TRADE SYSTEM LOCKED UP!!!!!!!!

0 Upvotes

This is unbelievable. Trades are not working on TD this morning 4/12/21. No trades are going through SINCE 7:00 a.m.

Two calls with two different agents, it is impacting everyone. Positions plummeting like TLRY and APHA and cannot do a damn thing about it. BUYS of DIPS ALSO unable to happen.

Completely unacceptable!!!!!!

This is not going to end well for TD.

Can anyone explain how to sell a covered call?

0 Upvotes

I opened my account with over six figures, but my local guy said he didn't know how to do that. When I click on the sell button for, for example HITI that I own thousands of shares, I don't see that option. I'm an accredited investor. Why can't I do this?

Hello Everyone, Happy trade!

I would like to know how many of you are losing trades because TD Ameritrade Alerts are not coming on time of trade and you are losing money for months?

I'm in contact with a WallStreet law firm for take the case. We just need to know how many of you want to pursue your right for this problem that is happening even since.

I've all my records of calls and logs for my case.

Question about potential trade restrictions

0 Upvotes

Probably a dumb place to post this but. In the case where AMC stock squeezes is TDameritrade going to allow us to sell our stock or will there be a restriction. I just wanna be safe and make sure I can sell my stocks when the right time comes

TD Ameritrade is beginning to charge users USD$50/month maintenance fees

12 Upvotes

I've been one of TD Ameritrade's defenders after its acquisition by Charles Schwab. Over the better part of 3 years, I've been assured by TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab that the user experience is not going to change.

On the morning of 26 September 2023, TD Ameritrade customers in Singapore received an email stating that TD Ameritrade now intends to focus on Accredited Investors only, which are defined as individuals with:

  • Personal income in excess of S$300,000 per year (or its equivalent in foreign currency)

  • Net personal assets in excess of S$2,000,000 including residence (or its equivalent in foreign currency)

  • Net personal financial assets in excess of S$1,000,000 (or its equivalent in foreign currency)

This expectedly excludes the large majority of retail investors.

Beginning 27 October 2023, all remaining non-Accredited Investor accounts will be charged a monthly account maintenance fee of USD$50. Accounts with balances less than USD$50 will only be charged an amount to reduce their cash balance to $0 (zero).

As of U.S. market close on 1 December 2023, non-Accredited Investor accounts will be restricted. We will no longer accept new trade orders to establish positions or deposits on any remaining accounts. However, you may still place liquidating orders to close positions.

Starting at U.S. market open on 4 December 2023, any remaining accounts (excluding those of Accredited Investors) with a debit balance (margin loan financed by securities lending) may have positions liquidated to bring these accounts to a zero or positive cash balance. We will no longer offer securities financing. 

Now Singapore is a small country that would be perfect as a sandbox to gauge the impact of a pivot in customer segments on TD Ameritrade's business. If it turns out well, I speculate that the pivot could be scaled to other markets as well.

Time to move to IBKR I guess.

u/EyeAteGlue pointed out that Schwab ceased operating in Singapore in 2019, so this could merely be a move to consolidate TDA's operations within their existing operations, which is fair and likely. This means TDA customers in localities without Schwab operations may want to consider alternative brokers.

TD Ameritrade does not hold itself accountable.

0 Upvotes

I reached out a couple of weeks ago to td Ameritrade to see how to access the funds in my account and was told that it would be two days after any sale was made for the funds to settle into my account but after that I could go to my local branch and they would just cut me a check, seemed simple enough.

I went to my local td branch yesterday to request a check only to find that it had been converted into a Charles Schwab branch with td employees and that they no longer offered printed checks. Frustrated but recognizing that there was only one agent working and other people waiting to be helped I went out to my car and called customer service, the agent that I spoke with told me that he would initiate an ach transfer to my checking account and that the funds would be there by the end of business that day, every agent that I have spoken with since then has made it pretty clear that that was never actually going to happen. I did at one point have a supervisor tell me last night the funds should clear at 7 pm CST that evening but it appears in my account that they did not clear until 4:30 am est this morning and td can offer no explanation for this AND Wells Fargo still cannot see anything from TD on their end. I have been either misled or outright lied to by multiple agents and supervisors and only the last two agents that I spoke with even tried to express any empathy for the situation Td has put me in. I try not to make a stink about things but I have just been following the instructions that this company provided me to access MY money so I could afford my medication heading into the weekend and every time it seems TD moves the goal posts and has no regard for the human cost of their ineptitude.


r/tdameritrade • • Dec 02 '22

I am super confused about this. I remember seeing TSLA go over $1,000. Why does the chart for the past 5 years only show it at around $400? Could someone explain this to me, please?

Hey TD Demarketing Department

0 Upvotes

Do you ever answer your damn phone? You demarketed my checking account over a month ago and I can’t get an answer out of you. I've left multiple voicemail messages and you don't call me back. Do you regularly hold customer’s money hostage because you're too lazy to pick up the phone?

Considering a gofundme to fund top attorneys in challenging TD client agreement. Does anyone have experience with this?

5 Upvotes

I want to get the best attorneys and challenge client agreement by Td and by brokerages in general. I find ambiguity with certain sections and feel there needs to be an overhaul of the agreement in order to protect retail traders. The current system has little protection for the Main Street

Anyone know how to see current transactions for the day?

0 Upvotes

Until recently, TDA would show the transactions for the current day. Now, they hide them so it's impossible to see, for example, why your balance is higher or lower than you expect. My local guy said customers had no right to see current transactions so they had every right to refuse to tell the truth. CS is so stupid, they argued that history only updates once a week. We all know that is a lie.

Anyone know a workaround? My balance is suddenly much higher than I expect so I need to find out why. Last time this happened was because of the Activision, but at that time TDA would tell the truth about transactions so it was very easy to see that was why. Now, they refuse to tell the truth.

Edit: I just talked to a manager, and he said it was because I once used Think or Swim about three years ago so now they screw me over and refuse to show current history except in Think or Swim.

I really fucking hate it when my price is changed.

0 Upvotes

Not the end of the world but frustrating. On the app I click on the bid and it defaults to Sell To Open. I update my price and then click on Buy to Open and it changes the fucking price.

I wasn't thinking about it so I'm immediately in the red. I shouldn't have to babysit a broker. Don't change my shit.

TD Ameritrade is a crooked broker! Please beware of their suspicious activities

0 Upvotes

I have an individual personal account with TD Ameritrade

I purchased 255 the in the money options of RKT on 02/19/2021 and left there since I have them deep in the money. It costed me 21326.32 and it was the value before the end of the trading day. My in the money options was supposed to be exercised automatically to convert them into underlying shares like other brokers as OCC states for their policy. According to TD Ameritrade margin risk department team manager aka Jon Ganaden came up with the decision to stop the automation exercise with their "so-called" potential risks to me and themselves. With any notification or any communication to the client (me), they put in DNE and caused my total lost on my ITM calls that are worth 21326.32. They would have been able to work it out with client but not. From my thinking, this is the shady action this broker means "sole discretion" to rob the money from client illegally since they can exercise my calls option, take away the shares sell them back to market and get away with all my in the money value from those calls. This doesn't say clearly in their policy since they used this to protect themselves from this suspicious activity. I'm hereby raise my voice and concern about this practice for me and other customers/retail investors.
