Hi there! I see you're experiencing crashes or freezing on both the Webull app and desktop when trying to close out trades, but everything runs fine until you get to that step, correct?

Could you please share a bit more detail to help me better assist you? For example:
- Does it happen every time or just occasionally?
- Are you closing out specific types of trades (stocks, options, etc.)?
- Have you recently updated the app or desktop software?
- Are you connected via a stable internet connection?
- Have you tried any troubleshooting steps yet, like restarting the app or your device?

Meanwhile, here are some initial steps that work well for this type of crash issue on Windows 10 with Webull WebKit:

1. Restart the desktop app and your PC: Sometimes the software just needs a fresh start.
2. Check for updates: Make sure your Webull app and desktop versions are up to date, as updates often fix bugs that cause crashes.
3. Clear cache and temporary files: On the desktop app, clearing cached files can help reduce memory or data corruption issues.
4. Check network connectivity: An unstable or slow connection might cause the software to hang when sending final trade actions.
5. Review system resources: Run your Task Manager and see if CPU or RAM usage is maxed out during the crash; sometimes freeing up resources helps.
6. Reinstall the Webull app: If none of the above helps, uninstalling and reinstalling can resolve deeper software conflicts.

If you’ve already tried any of these or if the problem persists, I can guide you through more advanced steps, such as checking error logs or adjusting app permissions. Also, if you let me know if this is happening on a particular trade type, I can narrow down the cause.

Does that sound good? Let’s get this sorted for you!

Thanks for letting me know you've already gone through those standard steps and it’s specifically happening during the close when traffic is heavier. That’s a very helpful detail!

Market close times often see increased trading volume and server demand, which can sometimes cause temporary performance issues on trading platforms. Since you mentioned the app and desktop are freezing or crashing right when you try to close trades, it sounds like this congestion might be playing a role.

Here are some additional suggestions tailored to this scenario on Windows 10 and Webull WebKit:

1. Close unnecessary background apps and processes during your close-of-day trading to free up system resources. Webull may be competing for CPU or memory at the worst time.
2. Try placing your closing trades a bit earlier before the official market close (a few minutes ahead) to avoid the highest traffic period.
3. Switch to a wired Ethernet connection if you are on WiFi during close time, as wired connections tend to be more stable and less affected by network congestion.
4. Disable any browser extensions or VPNs that might add latency or conflict with Webull’s WebKit at trade execution.
5. Check Webull’s status periodically around market close to see if there are any known outages or maintenance ongoing. You can find official updates at Webull’s Help Center or status pages1.
6. If the issue persists, you might consider reaching out directly to Webull’s support at [email protected] with details about the timing and frequency of the crashes, so they can check if there’s a server-side issue affecting your account or region.

Would you like me to walk you through checking your system’s resource usage during trading, or how to find Webull's status updates?

Are you satisfied with this next set of ideas to try? I’m here to help however you’d like to proceed.

Thanks for clarifying that you’ve tested multiple devices and it’s still happening. That helps us narrow down the issue quite a bit. Since it’s not device-specific, the root cause may be related to the Webull service itself or your account interaction with it during those high-traffic closeout moments.

Webull does support being logged in on multiple devices simultaneously and syncing settings across devices, so your multiple-device use should not cause a crash issue inherently1. Given that, I recommend the following next steps:

1. Check Webull’s Status and Official Channels: Look for any known outages or performance issues around market close on Webull’s official help or status pages3. Sometimes the platform experiences temporary overloads impacting multiple users, especially at high-demand trading moments.

2. Contact Webull Support: Since crashes occur consistently across devices and you’ve ruled out local issues, escalate this to Webull’s customer support team directly at [email protected]. Provide them details such as your account info (avoid sharing sensitive info publicly), the exact times and frequency of the crashes, and the multiple devices you tested. They can investigate if this is a server-side problem tied to your account or region.

3. Check for Updates Regularly: While you mentioned trying updates, keep an eye out for any new patches or announcements from Webull that might address performance at market close.

If you want, I can assist in drafting a clear message to their support or guide you on checking their status pages. Would that be helpful?

Are you satisfied with these next steps, or would you like me to try alternative approaches?

Are there any widespread Webull app issues reported today?

I checked the latest reports for October 2023, and there don’t appear to be any widespread or current issues reported for the Webull app at this time. Downdetector, a trusted site tracking service outages, indicates no current problems with Webull that would explain crashes or lock-ups1.

That said, occasional individual incidents or region-specific slowdowns can still happen without widespread outage reports. Since you’ve tested multiple devices and ruled out local factors, the issue might be more specific to your account or connection during peak close periods.

If the problem continues, contacting Webull support directly with your detailed experience remains the best course—they can check for any backend issues affecting your account or region4.

Would you like help drafting a message to their support team or guidance on what details to include? Are you satisfied with this update for now?

Thanks for pointing that out! I looked into the latest Webull app updates for September 2025. Here’s what I found:

- The latest mobile app update as of September 5, 2025, is version 11.4.0, which includes bug fixes and improvements to enhance stability and performance2.
- However, some users reported the September 8, 2025 update introduced alignment issues in columns, which can make quick glances or trade monitoring harder1.
- Webull continues adding new features, like futures trading tools, to improve the user experience throughout 20255.
- Market volatility and system availability notices in September 2025 remind users that volume surges may occasionally affect account access or trade execution speed during peak times8.

Given this info, it is possible the recent update might have introduced some bugs impacting trade close operations under high traffic. If your crashes correlate with this update, reinstalling the app or waiting for a minor patch could help.

Would you like me to help guide you through reinstalling the app cleanly on your Windows 10 desktop? Or maybe draft a detailed report to Webull support mentioning this September 2025 update and your crash issue?

Are you satisfied with this update summary and next steps?
