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

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I lost 60k$ gain today ! This would have made a difference to be able to put me back to school since the government had to shut down my entire working industry due to the pandemic

@yhawaiikai @MutinyMongo @IBKR That's plain wrong. Margin requirements make sense, but restricting purchases where your max loss is the amount you invested (so the broker cannot get in trouble) is nothing but sheer manipulation.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR When people are short, they have to buy more stock (but there is asymmetric demand-not much selling) which creates more of a problem bc they can’t use the stocks from delta hedging to “loan out” in case the underlying calls strike 2/

@ErnestWongBWM When I talked with @IBKR support they said it was an SEC order. But maybe optional bc something like GME can be bot on fidelity platform.

@TeminatorTrader @IBKR I got error message buying an option on IBKR that “Instrument is limited to closing trades only” yet was then able to go to Fidelity and TD Ameritrade and purchase the same instrument. So we have unequal access to markets right now.

@ProbyOne @IBKR Got to help out the hedge funds somehow. If a large group of retail traders has taken a bath you think TD or IBKR would halt trading on the instrument? Nope. They’d force liquidate and send a margin call.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Because they are in cahoots with hedgefunds. They need support once they go public offering.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR This kind of incompetence is what happens when wall street repeatedly gets bailed out for their bad decisions. When there’s no consequences no one needs to get better. These hedge funds got caught in a naked short. Them getting exploited for it is on them.

@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!

@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.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR 1. Cash might be an issue. 2. How about being an unsuspecting conspirator to securities fraud? Isn't Robinhood a public company like Twitter and Facebook?

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They ain’t got it... they still authorize $1000 at a time for little people and there are a lot of them that won big yesterday and got shut down today

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Drive the prices down so they can cover their short positions at lowest possible cost. The class-action lawsuits will be less than the cost of covering at full market value. They've done the math, know there won't be any real action taken by SEC or other regulators.

@IBKR I actually thought that interactive brokers was slimy enough, that you would never shut down trading *in anything*, if they could make profit for themselves! So you're ONLY slimy if it benefits you even though you said we we trading PARTNERS? Okay. now I understand how it works.

IBKR canceled my order for AMC and GME last night. You can't just change the rules because your billionaire friends are losing money. This is blatant ******* corruption and those behind it should go straight to ******* jail. **** @RobinhoodApp and **** @IBKR

@IBKR interested in opening an account. Called your customer service and on hold for over an hour. Not a good impression for a new customer.
