  @IBKR Any of the commentators here understand how margin works ? they are protecting themself and their customers not anyone else, the money brokers lend you is cash other customers hold and if it all blows up the broker will go down with its customers. It's the prudent thing to do...

  @IBKR @DeItaone When casinos see that you know how to beat the odds at a table game they shut the table down and say they are “doing maintenance”. The house always wins.

  @IBKR Dear @IBKR could you please advise a fair broker who will not shut down our freedom to buy? Thanks!

  @IBKR Another one bent the knee....if retail lose “is the market baby” if retail make some actual gains “volatility bad, institutional goes brrrr”

  @IBKR so instead to fix your platform because I have lag for a week every time at open you go and restrict people to trade stocks, I will not stick with you for long thats for sure

  @IBKR @bear_fuker You are literally manipulating the market for the benefit of the rich, we are comfortable buying and selling at these unstable conditions. Open the platform!

  Danny (@DanielsDisaster) reported 18 minutes ago

  @IBKR @bear_fuker What a crock of ****... volatility is the name of the game..... who are you to baby us and tell me what to do with my money. You provide the service you let us deal with it.

  @IBKR What in ******** is going on? Why can't I buy normally?

  Charles F (@charlesf11) reported 19 minutes ago

  Oh, and now Interactive Brokers @IBKR is doing the same exact damn thing as RH. The game is rigged kids. You can't win. Only the suits can win. It's time for a new set of rules.

  James Lechte (@jameslechte) reported 22 minutes ago

  @IBKR WTF are you doing restricting me from long trading with my own money???? How have you been given the right to take this away from me as a customer????

• 
  fotomann (@golooooong) reported 22 minutes ago

  @IBKR WTF!!!!! This is bullshit and not legal! Shorting all the way from a hedge fund is ok but if we buy its not ok? ACCOUNT CLOSED

  Mr.EBITDA (@EbitdaMr) reported 27 minutes ago

  @IBKR Lol @IBKR and @RobinhoodApp getting shut down soon.

• 
  No name (@ClairCognizanc) reported 31 minutes ago

  @IBKR Just tried to put my short sell order in and @IBKR will only allow “closing-only trades” for $GME #GME. The time to make serious money is when everybody is stampeding to the exits! WTF!!!

  Battousai (@battousai1130) reported 33 minutes ago

  @insomnia4quads Can confirm. @IBKR If you are certain about your customer base sophistication w.r.t @RobinhoodApp , then you shouldn't join in this mania. While I understand you want to mitigate risk, this is straight up comical.

• 
  Charles F (@charlesf11) reported 34 minutes ago

  @IBKR "this situation"!? What's the situation? A bunch of hedge funds flipped shares they never had to the tune of 130% and they got caught with their damn pants down? THAT SITUATION!?? AND YOU'RE GONNA PROTECT THEM?!?!

  Pramod Kumar (@bpramod_kumar) reported 41 minutes ago

  @IBKR Really? You are just trying to cover your asses and losses... now you have a problem... and you don’t care about the Tesla pumps without fundamentals... this is bullshit...

• 
  Mr. Is That A Lot? (@bobbyjoejimjack) reported 42 minutes ago

  @glennchanWordpr @RobinhoodApp I bet its more their own self interest. @IBKR was weird yesterday. Early premarket I could short or long GME. Once trading hours began I couldn't get an order to go through, but options works. Had to call in, and wait an hour to close a position. They said it was volume issue....

  @IBKR This is bad..blocking retailer investors to save the hedge fund managers..

  Don Pablo (@coach9_) reported 47 minutes ago

  @IBKR They're all part of the same team, time to shut them down!

  @IBKR Honestly at this point just **** yourselves

• 
  Deeps (@IBringTheDeeps) reported 49 minutes ago

  @IBKR Never using your brokerage ever. What gives you the right to determine what catalyst is ok for trading? Volatility was never a problem when wall street was making money off of it. Get woke go broke losers.

  Joshua J Wilborn (@JoshuaJWilborn) reported 51 minutes ago

  @IBKR @DeItaone Long time customer here...Nice collusion with wall street. This is despicable and you should be ashamed.

• 
  Daniel Wiener (@DanielWiener_) reported 52 minutes ago

  @IBKR You can still buy the stocks, just not with someones else money, bring your own money and own the stock outright, no problem.

• 
  CoolHand Trades (@11CoolHandLuke) reported 55 minutes ago

  @IBKR @goodetrades Utterly shameful, what a crock of Sh*t! I'd actually been thinking of switching over to @IBKR but no F-ing way. Almost exactly one year ago you calmly sat back while millions lost millions but now you shut it down because a few are actually making money. $AMC $GME #scammers

  @IBKR Sorry, bear spray doesn't work on angry grizzlies, it just pisses them off even more. Bad move.

• 
  Keith Van (@mrkeithvan) reported 60 minutes ago

  @IBKR a short squeeze situation is a problem because hedge funds lose a bet that they're counterparty to? aren't you supposed to be a broker supporting the retail users?

• 
  Idiot Voltron (@IdiotVoltron) reported 1 hour ago

  @IBKR I'm closing out my account with you even though I don't own options in any of those names. Openly showing what we've all known, but didn't want to think about in your ability to gate keep and manipulate at will is bad for business.

  @IBKR Yeah? All right, am taking my $250K + elsewhere, no problem, do not contact me with your customer support. 😡

  @business Transfer to @TradeZer0 or @IBKR No reports of problems there. I never see reports of problems there.
