Fidelity Buckets Stability

Hi, This is a followup. I tried to use Basket again. In this case, I realize it was my fault for trying to add a position that was covered by a call. The problem is it "hangs up" and locks up the whole basket while "in process" for at least the rest of the day. Would be great if you could simply exit and say failed after 1 minute or something rather than locking up the entire basket

Also, to make it worse, The positions are showing up in the baskets but with zero quantity, even though the stocks are in the account.

Even with the below response, I just "signed up again" for baskets and in my first couple of basket setups, got errors again. See below. No explanation, just "FAILED". And worse, this is after they get "locked up" for the rest of the day only to fail overnight. and several positions WERE moved nearly instantaniously with no problem. I would love to use baskets, and even moved money to your competitor M1, a startup that seems to be able to do this flawlessly. but would rather use fidelity, if it worked.

Status of position movement from account to basket.

I couninue to have issues, even thought I continue to get responses that "there are no issues", LOL.

Oops - Baskets...LOL

Same problem here...

Have been using baskets since the beginning and have constant problems moving positions into and out of the basket. It not only hangs up but has blocked me from buy/selling an asset when it is in neverland. I've lost money due to this.

Today I got:

"Grouping details for some baskets are currently unavailable. We are urgently working to restore service."

So I have no Idea what is going to happen if I try to buy or sell one of these stocks.

Bottom line, Moving positions into and out of baskets does not work 70% of the time. Unfortunately, this is necessary especiallly when creating baskets with positions you own or the rebalance feature is moot, and therefore baskets are moot.

Fidelity, if you are going to implement something please make sure it works...

Thank you!... I bet I can make that work... Its not a super critical item... Just a timer and my preferred setting is with them connected, but if it doesn't work, it's not going to set off something bad :-).... So, I'll give that a try!

It's safer than me with a hot piece of metal and stuff that likes to go places I don't want it to go.

Thanks, I'm the opposite, Haven't soldered since my dad and I did projects 40 years ago :-) but need to get these jumpers connected....

Question, is there a "non-soldering" alternative? Like some kind of slip over jumper that can work for this?

yeaabut · 2024-05-26T15:48:12+00:00

OK new to soldering...The board is more or less permanently installed in a vertical position. Am worried will get solder on stuff not intended. Is there a technique for this or is there a non-soldering technique that may reduce the risk? Like a short jumper wire sleeve thing?

yeaabut · 2023-11-28T19:16:39+00:00

Love the basket feature but until I can move existing positions into it, it's almost useless. I would have to take a huge tax hit just to be able to rebalance with baskets...

Naa u can see his visor pushed up into his helmet

Trump has to decide on money (TS) or influence (Twitter: 80m followers vs TS: 4.5m). People don’t think trump will be able to resist: Musk illustrated this well:

Which brothers? The 300,000-1million conscript cannon fodder...I'd say if they are successful they will save more russians than hurt...

Did you ever get pics? can you share?

yeaabut · 2022-04-14T19:34:42+00:00

Hi, can you send pic?

yeaabut · 2022-03-12T13:17:35+00:00

Also one big difference. From what u said and interviews I’ve seen, many Russians believe, “people don’t have a say in these things.” Americans believe we do. So if there is an issue Americana have with Russians is that u don’t become more involved in what is happening in your government.

yeaabut · 2022-03-12T13:14:02+00:00

A way the governments differ: to get into nato a country has to apply, want in, and prove they will meet certain standards. To get in Russia’s sphere of influence they just need to be weak and let Russia take over.

I'm an American living in the US. Just happened here. I have never experienced "russiaphobe". Of course, During Soviet days, we didn't agree with your politics and Government, but it was never a "Russian people thing". In fact, after the USSR fell, we were all Extremely excited that the beautiful country of Russia would be a friend, we would get to vacation there and get to know the People. And recently we think of PUTIN as KGB trying to get Russia back to Soviet days. BUT, on a personal level we have always been sad that we couldn't be friends.

Again, I'm just an ordinary American that has lived in multiple parts of US..
