Robinhood Markets Inc. said that it has resolved a technical issue from this morning that caused a delay in its application displaying order updates. And ETrade Financial Corp. told a customer via a tweet that its site now is running normally as well.

Both trading platforms had issues earlier.

“Orders going forward will not be impacted,” Robinhood said in tweets responding to user inquiries. “The platform should be up and running as normal now,” ETrade said in a tweet to a user.

Downdetector had reported that Robinhood and ETrade appeared to be having issues earlier Monday.

Some users across the U.S. reported problems placing orders and logging in to ETrade, an online trading platform for retail investors, according to Downdetector.

ETrade and Robinhood didn’t immediately respond to Bloomberg inquiries seeking comment.

During the market swings in March, Robinhood suffered outages on three different days.
