Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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.

  • MsGameTheory Dr. Game Theory (@MsGameTheory) reported

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

  • Helloyo32088744 Helloyou! (@Helloyo32088744) reported

    @IBKR AWFUL! They make up rules at random times during the day without telling you. They treat you like kids. CEO did not want you to buy bitcoin a few years ago, and does not want you to make any money.

  • bytesofben Ben (@bytesofben) reported

    @IBKR Terrible decision. (and I don’t own a single one of the meme stocks) I hope you go out of business.

  • PaulHoofman Paul (@PaulHoofman) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Da1stRndDrftPic Da1stRoundDraftPick (@Da1stRndDrftPic) reported

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

  • Jason_Price_Sea Jason Price (@Jason_Price_Sea) reported

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

  • 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

  • tuviaklein Just A Citizen (@tuviaklein) reported from Cherry Hill Mall, New Jersey

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Time to close down the hedge funds🧆

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • elijahwilde elijah wilde (@elijahwilde) reported

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

  • 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?

  • E__A_S_M SEC_are_theives (@E__A_S_M) reported

    @IBKR has been locking me out of selling a position that I bought yesterday.... I CANNOT sell to close. What the actual **** is happening. How is this not directly stealing from me. I have video of it all morning. Anyone have experience with organizing class action suits?

  • BluthEars EarsBluth (@BluthEars) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Poor people making money is defecto illegal. Rich issue permits/licenses to circumvent this. This is why prostitution, gambling, or growing and selling food in your yard is illegal. Capital/collateral is a requirement used by the rich to gatekeep who can enter the upper-class.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • _dDeltaDt make 1984 fiction again (@_dDeltaDt) reported

    @IBKR I don’t see a problem with changes to margin requirements.

  • Zalmoxis_B Zalmoxis_B (@Zalmoxis_B) reported

    @IBKR I was literally just into the application process and about to transfer 250k from trade 212 because I thought you guys were professionals. Guess you are just as corrupt as most other platforms. Shame.. Reputation takes years to build and seconds to be thrown down the drain.

  • themihai Mihai (@themihai) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • BaeCitizen citizen bae (@BaeCitizen) reported

    @IBKR Disgusting IB! Im already preparing to move my portfolio elsewhere. And you still haven’t reimbursed me for my losses due to the massive crash a month ago 💩

  • 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.

  • 50_Satoshi 50Satoshi (@50_Satoshi) reported

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.
