Why the system always down one

The server is in Chennai India (so someone at SCB told me when they had the last breakdown) ..... and the boys there love to tinkle with the programme on Sunday ( when they tell you it is under maintenance). Of course, when they cannot put humpty dumpty together in time for the next day, we experience the system down. Notice how it always seems to be fixed around the late afternoon .... check your time zone... its late morning to early afternoon there.

I cannot understand why they need to tinkle with something that is already working well - they fixed the last system down ..... then cause another one ....

Give them a call. Be careful of who call trolling. I hardly post on this forum page unless there is something to share.... but I see that its a waste of time.:(

are you sure of what you are saying?

in this time and age, every single brokerage out there charges this $40++ when using broker-assisted trades

This is OCBC's charges
http://portal.iocbc.com/assets/pdf/ospl/ConsolidatedCommissionCharges.pdf

If you use online trading, yes it's discounted, but if you ask broker to help you buy/sell, every single brokerage is around that range.

Wat i m trying to say most ppl trade online hence no body willing to pay brokage fees of $40

I have 3 orders at pending status for more than half an hour. In the meantime, the price has hit my order but nothing is done. Called their hotline they say most likely my order did not get through but nothing can be done. Cannot cancel at my end and at their end they see nothing. Sianz.
