Common E*TRADE Issues During Outages

Trading platform not loading

The E*TRADE web platform or Power E*TRADE may fail to load or accept orders during infrastructure outages.

Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume E*TRADE Is Down

  1. 1

    Try the E*TRADE mobile app

    If the website is having issues, the E*TRADE mobile app often operates on separate infrastructure and may remain available.

  2. 2

    Clear browser cache and try incognito

    Stale cached data or browser extensions can interfere with the trading platform. Try a fresh private window session.

  3. 3

    Switch to Power E*TRADE or vice versa

    If the standard platform is failing, try Power E*TRADE, or switch back to the standard platform if Power E*TRADE is the issue.

  4. 4

    Call E*TRADE customer service

    E*TRADE provides phone trading support at 1-800-387-2331. Broker-assisted trades may incur additional fees.

  5. 5

    Check your network and firewall

    Corporate networks and VPNs can block financial trading platforms. Try a different network if you suspect local blocking.

E*TRADE Status FAQ

Is E*TRADE down right now?

Check Downdetector and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If reports are spiking during market hours, E*TRADE is likely experiencing a trading platform outage.

Why can't I log in to E*TRADE?

Login failures can be caused by server issues, browser cache problems, or account-specific issues. Try clearing your cache, using a private window, or the mobile app.

Why are my E*TRADE orders not going through?

Order execution failures during market hours indicate a platform incident. Call 1-800-387-2331 immediately for broker-assisted trade execution.

Is Power E*TRADE down separately from the standard platform?

Power E*TRADE and the standard platform can experience separate issues. If one fails, try the other as a fallback for executing trades.

Why is my E*TRADE account balance not updating?

Balance update delays usually indicate backend data feed issues. Wait a few minutes during high-traffic market periods before assuming a full outage.
