UPDATE: We have the whole company working this weekend.

It’s intense, but we’re doing it for our customers.

Our FX partner and its bank throttled our ability to execute US orders on Friday.

Fortunately, our core banking partner has remained solid throughout. UK trading has experienced no significant issues.

Our engineering team has invented a novel solution to work with the 18x reduction in bandwidth that was forced on us.

We’re working around the clock to build it and be ready for the market open on Monday.

I understand people's anger at certain financial markets participants’ activity. And we’re not building a platform to encourage short term trading behaviour.

But damn do we respect our customers and their ability to make their own investment decisions.

Our focus will remain on educating our customers, the retail investor. They come first for us.

We’ll do our best to make sure our customers have a reliable platform to invest the way they want.

Also, fuck the hedge funds.
