- identified Mar 12, 2026, 05:38 PM UTC
We are currently experiencing intermittent delays in order processing due to a system connectivity issue. Our team is actively working to resolve this. Here's what's happening: 1.Orders that are stuck in "pending" status are being manually processed and re-routed. 2.For any orders pending cancellation, we are coordinating directly with our trading partners to ensure they are properly canceled. 3.Crypto order processing is being restored as part of our ongoing recovery efforts. Our engineering team has identified the underlying cause and is working on a permanent fix. We will share another update once the issue is fully resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
- identified Mar 12, 2026, 05:48 PM UTC
The root cause of the instability has been traced to a specific node within our messaging cluster. A targeted restart of that component is being prepared and will be executed shortly. In the meantime, the order backlog is actively being cleared , pending orders are decreasing and filled orders are increasing as manual re-routing continues. The crypto exchange component restart has been completed successfully. The next step to restore full system stability is the execution of this remaining component restart. We will confirm once it is complete.
- identified Mar 12, 2026, 06:01 PM UTC
After restart of problematic component in messaging cluster The messaging system has been stabilised and key trading services are back online and operating normally.A final reconnection step for our crypto trading service is currently being completed to ensure all systems are fully restored. We expect full recovery shortly and will confirm once everything is back to normal. Thank you for your patience.
- identified Mar 12, 2026, 06:13 PM UTC
The majority of services have been restored. Our team has identified one remaining synchronisation issue within the messaging infrastructure and is applying a targeted fix. As a precaution, affected services have been temporarily scaled down during the repair. A small number of orders that did not reach their intended venues are being re-processed. We will confirm resolution once this final fix is verified.
- identified Mar 12, 2026, 06:26 PM UTC
The fix for the primary affected queue has been successfully applied , messages are flowing and the backlog is cleared. During this process, two additional queues were found to have similar synchronisation issues. Our team is now applying the same fix to these remaining components to restore full stability. In parallel, we are evaluating longer-term improvements to our messaging infrastructure to prevent recurrence. We will provide an update once all components are fully restored.

- postmortem Mar 13, 2026, 04:40 PM UTC
**Impact:** On March 12, 2026, our trading platform experienced intermittent connectivity to multiple trading venues. Consequently, orders were either not successfully delivered to venues or remained in a pending status. **Incident overview and remediation:** Our investigation found instability within our core queueing system and a crash-loop in our order consumer components within routing service, causing cascading latency across the platform. To resolve the issue, we restarted the queueing system, restoring connectivity and clearing the order backlog. Any remaining "stuck" orders were manually reconciled by our operations team. **Next steps** * We have extended this weekend's maintenance window \(March 14–15, 2026\) to two hours to upgrade system capacity, restart key services for stability, and apply critical infrastructure updates both internally and across one of our third party vendors. * We’re validating our remediation plan against the root cause to prevent recurrence. * We are maintaining heightened surveillance of platform stability and will provide updates via our status page. If you have questions or believe your orders were impacted, please contact your account manager or our support team through your usual support channel.

## **Service Status Update: Transaction Processing Delay \(March 8-9, 2026\)** ## **Root Cause** On the evening of March 8, 2026, our platform experienced a disruption in the processing of journal entries \(internal account transfers\). The issue was triggered by a high-volume internal data job related to annual tax reporting. This specific job generated a very large volume of database writes, which caused WAL \(Write-Ahead Log\) growth to reach the configured limit for replication slots. Once this threshold was reached, our database marked the affected logical replication slots as lost, which interrupted our Change Data Capture \(CDC\) pipeline which is needed for advancing journal processing from “sent to clearing” to “executed. ## **Impact** * **Data Integrity:** We can confirm that **no data was lost**, and all funds remain fully accounted for. The issue was limited strictly to a delay in processing time, not the accuracy of the transactions. * **Affected Partners:** The delay impacted 31 correspondent firms, with the majority of the volume concentrated in specific high-activity accounts. * **Current Status:** All backlogged transactions were successfully processed and finalized by 11.10pm ET on 8th March ## **Resolution** Once the delay was identified, our engineering team took the following immediate actions: * **Terminated the Data Job:** The heavy internal tax processing task was halted to relieve pressure on the database. * **Recreated Replication Slots:** The affected logical replication slots were recreated. * **Backfilled CDC Data:** Engineers performed a **backfill** to restore the replication pipeline and synchronize the missing changes ## **Commitment to Reliability** To prevent a recurrence, we are implementing the following safeguards: 1. **Job Optimization:** Future large-scale data tasks \(such as tax reporting\) will be broken into smaller batches to prevent system saturation. 2. **Increased Capacity:** We are reviewing our synchronization storage limits to provide a larger buffer during peak periods of internal data activity. 3. **Enhanced Monitoring:** We have updated our internal playbooks to ensure faster automated alerting if data synchronization lags in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay may have caused to your operations.

# **Service update — Order processing & account sync** **January 20, 2026** **What happened \(short\):**A background database process created by a price-update job held an open transaction for an extended period. That blocked the database from cleaning up a very busy internal table, causing worker backlogs. As a result some orders and account updates were slower or intermittently timed out. **Impact:** * Slower order responses and occasional timeouts for a subset of customers. * Delays in account balance refreshes and transaction visibility. * No data was lost — all funds, transactions and records remained secure. **What we did:** * Stopped the offending background work, killed the long-running transaction, and manually cleaned the affected table. * Performed a rolling restart of worker and order-processing services to clear stuck processes. * Restored normal processing and cleared the backlog. Services were healthy again later that morning \(all backlog processed\). **Why this won’t happen again \(actions\):** **Immediate** * Added transaction timeouts for database access at the application level. **Short/medium term** * Paused a non-critical job which had resulted in resource contentions; this will be re-enabled only once this issue is resolved. * Improve alerting/handling for long-open transactions and failed database cleanups so we can act earlier. **Long term** * Review and tune database maintenance settings so write-heavy tables are protected. **Our commitment:**We apologize for the disruption. We’ve taken steps to fix the immediate problem and are implementing monitoring and architectural changes to reduce the chance of recurrence. If you’d like additional detail or a technical appendix, we’re happy to share it.

# January 13th update **Follow-up: Resolution of Monday Market Open Incident** As a follow-up to our communication regarding Monday’s service instability, we are providing a summary of our findings and the corrective actions taken. **Root Cause Analysis** Over the weekend, a planned change was implemented which included the rollout of Istio into our production network. Following this deployment, we observed intermittent connectivity issues that resulted in the instability seen on Monday. Our investigation confirmed that the Istio layer was not stable in establishing connections between services and components over the network. This issue was exacerbated during the market open, where the high traffic footprint led to significant latency and slowness. While this configuration had been present in our staging environments for some time, the issue only manifested in production due to the unique load requirements of the live market open. **System Impact** We specifically investigated why a connection and memory issue within specific pods impacted critical trading functions. The analysis showed that the connection instability caused an excessive backlog of concurrent queries. This led to a significant memory spike that exceeded typical thresholds, creating a cascading effect on service responsiveness during peak traffic. **Remediation** To address this, we have removed the Istio plane across all critical services. All impacted services were restarted following this change to ensure a clean state. **Current Status** Since the removal of the Istio layer, system performance has returned to its baseline and connections remain stable. We are continuing to monitor the environment closely and are utilizing enhanced load testing to ensure our infrastructure remains resilient during peak traffic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### **What Happened** Shortly after market open on January 12, 2026 \(approx. 9:36 AM EST\), our monitoring systems detected a significant degradation in performance across our core APIs. This resulted in elevated error rates and latency for incoming API requests. Our engineering team identified that the issue was caused by resource contention within our system. A combination of high market-open traffic and underlying system abnormalities triggered a significant memory spike in a single pod. This exhaustion of resources caused internal services to become unresponsive, resulting in connection timeouts and creating a bottleneck between our API gateway and the database services. ### **Impact** We understand that reliability is paramount for your operations. Below is a summary of the impact observed during the incident window \(9:36 AM – 11:20 AM EST\): * **API Availability:** Partners experienced intermittent `500` and `504` error responses on Order, Account, and Position endpoints. * **Order Processing:** A subset of orders experienced processing delays. In some cases, orders that timed out on the API response were successfully processed in the background. * **Data Latency:** There were short delays in position updates and trade confirmation events \(SSE\) for executed orders. * **Critical Data Integrity:** **No data was lost during this incident.** All funds and positions remain safe and secure. All transactions that appeared to time out but were executed have been reconciled. ### **Resolution** Our team executed a series of mitigation strategies to restore stability. Immediate action was taken to isolate and restart the affected service instances to clear the connection backlog. We deployed a hotfix to eliminate redundant metrics processing, which reduces unnecessary overhead and helps lower overall memory consumption. The system was fully stabilized by 11:20 AM EST. We have confirmed that error rates have returned to nominal levels and all backlog queues have been processed. We will continue to investigate any abnormalities. ### **Preventative Measures** We are committed to learning from every incident to strengthen our platform. We are prioritizing the following actions: * **Hands-on Monitoring:** We will have our team monitor the market opens all this week to ensure quick intervention. * **System Capacity Review:** We are auditing our resource allocation thresholds to ensure our services can handle "perfect storm" scenarios where high volume coincides with complex queries. * **Deployment Process Optimization:** We are revising our release procedures to ensure that non-critical background processes \(such as metrics collection\) cannot impact core transaction performance during peak market hours. * **Enhanced Monitoring:** We are implementing stricter alerts regarding database connection locking to detect and auto-remediate similar contention issues faster in the future.

## **Service Status Update: Account Data Processing Delay \(January 6, 2026\)** ### **What Happened** On the morning of January 6, 2026, our platform experienced a delay in the standard start-of-day data synchronisation process. This was caused by a temporary resource constraint within our processing environment, which prevented the internal jobs responsible for updating account balances and positions from initialising at their scheduled time. Upon identifying the capacity issue, our engineering teams manually adjusted system resources to allow the processing to begin. However, the initial recovery attempt encountered a synchronisation timeout, requiring a secondary re-run of the update job to ensure complete data accuracy. The process was successfully completed, and all systems returned to a healthy state by 06:44 AM ET. ### **Impact** The delay primarily affected the visibility of up-to-date account information for our partners and their end-users. * **Data Accuracy:** Users may have seen delayed updates to their account balances, holdings, and recent transaction history. * **Transaction Processing:** Some users may have encountered "insufficient balance" errors during fund transfer attempts, as the system was awaiting the finalised balance updates from the previous business day. * **Data Integrity:** We can confirm that **no data was lost** and **all funds remain entirely secure**. This was a processing delay only, and all account activities have since been reconciled correctly. ### **Resolution** Our technical team took the following immediate actions to resolve the incident: * **Capacity Expansion:** At 04:10 AM ET, we manually increased the available system capacity to bypass the resource bottleneck and allow the pending tasks to execute. * **Job Restoration:** After the initial job timed out, we initiated a controlled re-run of the entire start-of-day sequence to ensure every account was accurately updated. * **Final Verification:** We conducted a full audit of account balances and positions to confirm that all data was synchronized and the service was fully restored by 06:44 AM ET. ### **Preventative Measures** We are committed to maintaining the highest levels of reliability for our partners. To prevent a recurrence, we are implementing the following improvements: * **System Capacity Review:** We are auditing our resource allocation policies to ensure that core financial processing tasks always have priority and cannot be delayed by auxiliary or non-critical system activities. * **Resilience & Monitoring:** We are enhancing our automated alerting for "pending" internal tasks to identify and resolve resource constraints before they impact the start of the business day. **Process Optimization:** Our engineering team is optimizing the timeout thresholds and retry logic for long-running data jobs to ensure more resilient performance during peak processing windows.
