It has 10 million users. Most of them being trading novices (I'm on a Robinhood reddit page, yikes). So yeah, it definitely had an impact on the stock market. Especially if many people were going to sell yesterday.

i still imagine that's a drop in the bucket compared to real trading

Still enough to impact billions of dollars being sold and bought.

Wow. You think an app based on certain hours of a 5 week window would have that be a thing.

Well this is may lead to people going to established brokerages now that they offer commission free trading.

There's no way it was due to leap year shit. Don't programming languages have in built date and time functions that would have leap year taken account for. No reason to think Robinhood would have done their own custom shit.

without knowing the internals of their backend, it sounds like some kind of overload that the various servers couldn't keep up with (503 errors mean that something isn't available)

and yeah, datetime libs all account for leap years, so unless the programmers are morons, it's more likely that their infrastructure needs an overhaul to keep up with demand

If a programmer is dumb enough they might roll their own date library or misuse an existing one

It's a bit weird that it happened right after the last leap year though

Also, it's not like they have a big team. I think the thing is literally ran and managed by less than 5 people.

I also worry if a real crash did happen like 2008, would the app be able to handle it? Kinda scary.

I'll stick with the trusted ones (Fidelity, Ameritrade) over Robinhood.
