  • DaleOHays Dale Hays (@DaleOHays) reported

    @IBKR Complete manipulative horseshit! You're happy to take all the BUYs from the Big Boys, otherwise there would be NOBODY to drive the price down. You are comfortable when the retail traders lose money, but not when Hedgefunds and Short Sellers lose - its a "free market" system!

  • AndrewMoldenha3 Andrew Moldenhauer (@AndrewMoldenha3) reported

    @IBKR Just opened an account a couple weeks ago. Glad I didn't fund it yet. I will be closing my account. I will not support any brokerage that refuses to allow free trading. Goodbye. Good luck with the class action lawsuit

  • An_uj Anuj Mhaskar (@An_uj) reported

    @IBKR What you have done is outright illegal! Help the "big shots" manipulate the market. #gme #wallstreetbets

  • elijahwilde elijah wilde (@elijahwilde) reported

    @DrX16680328 @IBKR WeBull shut it down also. Don’t go there.

  • MsGameTheory Dr. Game Theory (@MsGameTheory) reported

    @IBKR To help your hedge fund buddies and to screw over your regular customers? Wow. DISGUSTING.

  • OdinSQL Benjamin Monette (@OdinSQL) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR This was a multi billion dollar fraud committed against retail investors. Hedge funds don't want to payout their losing bet so they shut down trading. They figurer that the lawsuits and payouts will be less than what it would cost to cover their short positions.

  • BBailey320 Bradley Bailey (@BBailey320) reported

    @TeminatorTrader @IBKR Yep. I realized Robinhood was a bad brokerage a while ago but now other firms like Interactive Brokers are restricting trading on volatile options. How hard is it for them to do their job and provide liquidity in all market environments.

  • sharvit_ofek ofek sharvit (@sharvit_ofek) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR $AMC SUPPORT THE CAUSE

  • Da1stRndDrftPic Da1stRoundDraftPick (@Da1stRndDrftPic) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR From what Im told by traders I used to support, it's the latter

  • RS12073564 RS (@RS12073564) reported

    @IBKR WOW, blatant market manipulation to depress stock price. No warning ahead of time so that your clients can find alternatives. What is the "situation" that you want to fix? Your customers making profits at the expense of hedge funds? Moving to a new broker ASAP.

  • tomkoral Tom Koral (@tomkoral) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I have $0 in any of these stocks but these little guys need your help more than ever. Central banks and the fed have rigged the game to force asset prices up at every opportunity until it forces up the wrong asset and now all of a sudden it’s shut down to help themselves out.

  • adambrooks1994 Adam (@adambrooks1994) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Although I don’t agree with this, my take would be that they are shutting down trading on these stocks to protect themselves from a future market manipulation lawsuit.

  • Jason_Price_Sea Jason Price (@Jason_Price_Sea) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The fix is in. This is the opposite of free market capitalism.

  • thedudefrugal Goat B. Frobe (@thedudefrugal) reported

    @DMBjkloste2 @IBKR What platform were you using? The system's always been ******, but they've never been this blatant about it. Going to be major repercussions from all of this. You know it's bad when Ted Cruz and AOC are on the same page against it. LOL

  • eurotechjunkie techjunkie (@eurotechjunkie) reported

    Bought some $GME, $AMC, $NOK right now on the Flatex platform that still allows buying these. Filed a complaint at @ibkr for interfering with my trades and manipulating the free market.

  • OnClose Scott Lee (@OnClose) reported

    @IBKR Why are you blocking investors from trading a "free market"? Interactive Brokers prevented me from buying #GME at $150 and it immediately moved to over $300, I will be filing a @SEC_Enforcement complaint

  • middletowndream Middletown Dream (@middletowndream) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Or they are trying to protect their platforms from crashing. Look at RH platform stability record. It's not good.

  • Yep23231 U mad? (@Yep23231) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR A brokerage should just process buy and sell orders with customer money...They shouldn't use their own money...Then it's impossible to not have the cash

  • 50_Satoshi 50Satoshi (@50_Satoshi) reported

    @IBKR **** you! Ibk I am gone!

  • TeminatorTrader Terminator-tactical trader-35ys trading experience (@TeminatorTrader) reported

    @BBailey320 @IBKR Even giant TD securities were down for an hour this morning. They said they might restrict trading in $GME at anytime to preserve liquidity in other names

  • themihai Mihai (@themihai) reported

    @IBKR Who ******** will buy if you restrict it to sell only? Your big fat cats to cover their shorts?

  • drtodor Max (@drtodor) reported

    @chavousc @IBKR The problem is, all retail brokers are done it. You can take your account somewhere else, but where?

  • ThomasC40484837 Thomas Crocker (@ThomasC40484837) reported

    @IBKR I've only been trading a couple months and was pretty happy with IBKR until this morning. I thought you provided a service to the people, not regulate how we spend our money?

  • seanswan Sean (@seanswan) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Because their Market Maker, (rhymes with $hitadel) needs these stocks to go back down so they can recoup their loan to Melvin Capital.

  • durbrow Ken Durbrow (@durbrow) reported

    @IBKR Whaaaaa!!!! “put certain symbols into liquidation only” WTF!? Why!? That’s a sure recipe for shenanigans. That’s insane. That’s not a market.

  • cryptonamiks Namiks (@cryptonamiks) reported

    Closing my @IBKR account because of their participation in manipulating $GME $NOK $AMC. Stopping people from purchasing an instrument because their hedge fund friends are in the red is disgusting behaviour. **** them.

  • dfreyche david freyche (@dfreyche) reported

    @AOC @RobinhoodApp Nice to have support from a senatrice! I have been blocked as well by @IBKR ! I can even sell or buy GameStop

  • Money_in_Stereo money_in_stereo (@Money_in_Stereo) reported

    @enriqueabeyta In talking with support @IBKR they said the order came from SEC and they are just implementing.

  • PaulHoofman Paul (@PaulHoofman) reported

    @NotaBubble @Mindwbw @IBKR You may need to do that with options since they have shut down the stock

  • folkenstal folkenstal.com | prop maker (@folkenstal) reported

    @IBKR Dudes, wtf! Let me buy those sweets stocks! FREE MARKET!
