Is this for a US stock? I’m experiencing the same, but in the other direction - market buy order stuck pending for about 5 minutes now. ---

XSPA - I hit sell at 2.30. This is very risky… luckily I sold where I wanted to but there was volatility in those few mins. Edit - order executed at 2.36. ---

Very hesitant to buy more today on 212 until there is a guarantee that stocks will execute on time. ---

Me too. The processing spinner just goes on and on, you can’t cancel it, and then you miss the entry point. ---
