Hallo Steenbok. The main Std Bank trading site is fine ( I have used it for five years ). But it looks as if Easytrader is either a platform that they do not maintain properly or it is deemed not cost effective for them to fix up the "bugs" The main problems that I have encountered are ;- (in order of importance ), 1. when you activate the "order widget " the drop down box where you select your account is empty at least 50% of the time. I have two accounts but selecting the drop down box does not bring up either of the accounts - so you end up not being able to trade at all. 2. the "details" of the order widget do not update if you change the name of the share you are buying (and yes I do press the update button) 3, if you do not work on the platform for an unspecified time (they have not able to tell me how long-- and there is warning that it is going to stop updating ) the prices stop updating - the first time this happened I thought the market was just slow and selected the bid and ask widget for TBS - THAT STARTED UPDATING - while the rest of the prices did not update-- the end result is that if you are not careful you end up with half of the prices updating and half not updating ----Wonderfull --you end up looking at completely incorrect prices until until you exit easeytrader completely (and lose any information or lines that you have placed on your charts). 4. If you do get the order ticket to give you an account to trade from there are no defaults filled into the dropdown boxes- the result is that you spend so much time making your selections and trying to get rid of the only default option that is there ("do you want an order confirmation" ) that you end up losing any price advantage that you have identified and probably abandon the trade you wanted to make .
