Nabtrade failed orders

Jump to new
I have the mobile version, which was not affected, but its clunky and does not have all the information in one easy accessible place.
The login page on the Web version still has a warning to users that there are log in failures, but I have been able to log in after lunch.

Same issue this morning.
The Website says
We are currently having issues with desktop logins".
Mobile version is ok.
Do COMSEC users have similar issues??

nope. i have accounts with commsec and nabtrade. commsec's fine today, nabtrade's buggered. on a different day nabtrade will be fine but westpac or commsec will be buggered. just the usual mickey mouse broker "reliability" that we've all come to know and expect.
 
I sold one with Nabtrade this morning without a problem. However, I use the Nabtrade site only to open up Iress Trader and Iress Viewpoint which load separately to the Nabtrade website and place orders through either one.

Commsec is usually fine. Nabtrade was down today though.

Time for a new broker? I'm not with nabtrade but I've heard nothing good about their platform. From what i can tell it is notoriously unreliable.

I have 4 brokers but mainly use nabtrade and Westpac. Nabtrade is good that I don't have to worry about registering stocks with registries for divs (they set it up in such a way that this is all done through their system)

But of late, I've been having difficulties logging in, and accessing View Point, so haven't had that opened for months now. I like looking at viewpoint, but I get confused with too many widgets, and the flashing digits messes up my head. (I need data to collate for my mental graph)

All good yesterday, ended well. Lucky I had pre planned my sale and went through while I was locked out.

Thank you for your concern and response, greggles, appreciate that....all the best.
 
I've used Nabtrade for several years for the long term buy & hold component of my portfolio, and found it to be generally fine. The only times I recall it going down was when everything else went down due to some failure at the ASX or Telstra. Though given that I do < 10 trades a year in it (I do all my short term trading thru IB) maybe I just didn't notice. It has the convenience of a linked high interest account for stashing dry powder, from which funds can be instantly transferred to the trading account when needed, and the interest rates on that linked account were more than competitive with those of the other CHESS brokers back when I was looking for a broker for my buy & hold arm (currently paying 4% but they have not adjusted for this week's hike yet).

Getting options trading enabled for my Nabtrade account (just in case I needed it for whatever reason, I would not recommend frequent options trading thru Nabtrade, it's a ripoff, like options trading on every other CHESS broker) was, however, a rather onerous and frustrating process, which I've already had a rant about in some other thread in the derivatives forum, so I'll refrain from ranting about it again here.
 
Have not looked into that...Interactive Brokers. Bell Direct is ok too but I'm insecure, and prefer to use the banks. I don't worry about the brokerage as such...I see it as part of business cost. But to more more cost effective, cheaper brokerage will save money....makes a lot of sense.

For ASX stock trading there's not much difference, IB is slightly cheaper, but not meaningfully so. However for frequent option trading (keep in mind I used to do about 200-400 option trades per year when I was younger, I've dialled it back significantly since then and am mostly buy & hold these days) it makes a huge difference, at least several grand a year in brokerage saved by using IB.
 
Traded a few over the last 3 days without a problem on NAB. I do the trades through the Viewpoint platform.
 
I don't know how to trade options, Sharkman....I'm not good with change, so for now, I will stick with the familiar platform. Less confusing (doesn't take much to confuse me these days)

Country Lad, I can't launch View Point. Kept coming back with 'insecure link or something of that kind. Don't care much about it now....the less I see, the less confused I get.

This thread sounds like Eskys' confession day, haha.

Afraid I can't help you there @eskys, I logged into Viewpoint and remained live on all each of the last 3 days. Maybe when you have some spare time ring NABtrader and ask the question.
 
Could be my system, Country Lad. Nabtrade was unable to solve the mystery, so I gave up........thank you, and have a great evening.

It's working now. They had a hiccup yesterday. Had all my orders purged pre market. Thought that very strange as it had never happened in the past.......for a brief moment, was very proud of them thinking they were taking precautionary actions just in case the market went completely kaput, haha

No explanation, no apology, nothing.
