  • orjola14 orjola14 (@orjola14) reported

    @IBKR Since when you decided to play regulator? You did this without notice through your platform or email. Your customer service is down since yesterday. Yesterday morning option prices on amc/gme were blank for 15mins _before_ trading halted. This is why we pay commisions/fees for?

  • enz1ey Derrick Ensley (@enz1ey) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Trying to save the asses of all the billionaires who are throwing a tantrum over being on the wrong end of a stupid play. When is @CNBCClosingBell gonna stop being a mouthpiece for all these market manipulators who are vilifying retail traders and victimizing the billionaires?

  • XanderCrews34 AttorneyManbun (@XanderCrews34) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Their overlords are telling them to shut it down. Very obviously.

  • The1TrueDon Don Chee (@The1TrueDon) reported

    @SEC_Enforcement There is a lot of work to do to determine what happened today. Start with @IBKR, Citadel LLC and work your way down.

  • DrBJP18 DrBJP18 (@DrBJP18) reported

    @IBKR Your Chair laughed when asked about "changing the rules". He admitted to restricting cash purchases because it wasn't affordable. Then suggested buying for good reasons not short squeeze. WTF artificially holding down price beyond supply & demand forces. You should be crushed

  • Shauna_L_T burgermeistermeisterburger (@Shauna_L_T) reported

    @_0live @thecoinmonger @IBKR Fidelity has had no issues!

  • 0_sumgame Zero-sum Game (ゼロサムゲーム) (@0_sumgame) reported

    Normal people don't just get to shut off the market to "stop the losses" when they are on the bad side of a trade. @IBKR @business

  • TheIanMerrill Ian Merrill (@TheIanMerrill) reported

    @IBKR watching your chairman tapdance and lie on @business just now was disgusting, I hope you all burn down just like @RobinhoodApp $AMC $GME

  • william18641380 william houghton (@william18641380) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR If the service is free, YOU are the product. Robinhood model designed to exchange "free"executions and fractional shares in exchange for premiums on the price you pay for stock vs level RH actually executes delayed amalgamated trades - limiting operations reaks of tail covering

  • raykanani raykanani (@raykanani) reported

    Wow, @IBKR CEO on #CNBC explaining that they halted $GME to protect themselves. Explaining it that if $GME kept going up, their partners would go bankrupt. They knew halting purchases would cause stock to go down. How is this legal?

  • JingJacksonWang Jing Jackson **** (@JingJacksonWang) reported

    @mkmfitzgerald @CNBC @IBKR This is garbage take. Where was a concern during 2008? or all these flash crash due to HFT? no need protection then, no need protection now. What a bunch of whiny losers.

  • Seth_Horwitz Seth Horwitz (@Seth_Horwitz) reported

    Peterffy of @IBKR is on @TeamCavuto, giving a reason for blocking cash buys of GME stonk. If it continues a moonshot, but IB can’t get settlement from a cointerparty, IB will owe the difference to their long customer. IB doesn’t want the risk of a small firm that can’t deliver.

  • vayzer04 Jason Vaisvila (@vayzer04) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Talking about manipulation, but only allowing selling??? WTF???

  • DavidPAGC David (@DavidPAGC) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR After the fiasco of negative WTI I'm with @ibkr on this. IB offer an excellent service and I want my money protected from reckless speculators that endanger brokers like IB when they go bankrupt and don't pay for their losses.

  • NattyBro2 Natty Bro (@NattyBro2) reported

    @IBKR When I get into trouble trading, can you help a bro out?

  • Lowkey08811805 P-hacking Human Sensor🇭🇰 (@Lowkey08811805) reported

    @IBKR Why you should not use IB: 1. IB SMART routing isn’t that smart 2. Low Execution speed cause price slippage 3. Terrible CS service 4. IB system is written by JAVA 5. IB server connection is bad 6. Incorrect data. USD 10 monthly to buy shitty data 7. Low update frequency

  • gadda24 Quaestor Investor (@gadda24) reported

    @IBKR What ******** do you mean by 100% margin on long stock positions?, you ignorant ******* sellout. @IBKR

  • ShagwongS Shagwong Securities LLC (@ShagwongS) reported

    @LaziestofDans @IBKR @stkbullgod those guys sailed through 2008-2009 as BSC MER WaMu blew sky high ...... no prop trading , investment banking or even underwriting and i'd add it seemed like Ameritrade was in full blown panic yesterday with that said , they need to hire more customer service

  • Downtown_Rocks raj bhatti (@Downtown_Rocks) reported

    @Vito0078 @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR He comes on national tv and lies openly because he truly believes that everyone younger than 50 is too stupid to see through his lies.

  • SophistUnpaid Fermi's Pair of Socks (@SophistUnpaid) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR I see. So @IBKR placed some vague notion of "marketplace stability" over their duty to customers. This is why I am closing my IBKR positions and closing my account. I will also be pursuing any legal action possible. IBKR cost me a fortune from this action.

  • JaysenPinchinat Jaysen Pinchinat (@JaysenPinchinat) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Integrity of the market start by asking how hedge funds was able to short over 💯 % of GME doubling down on the same shorted shares

  • jobanib Justfear Garcia (@jobanib) reported

    @IBKR why are GTC orders for GME and AMC no longer allowed????? This is allowed in my other brokerage services. You're giving me another reason to move away from your service.

  • Frankhilscher1 Frank hilscher (@Frankhilscher1) reported

    @IBKR you guys are seriously ******. Ole Tommy Boys interview was about the worst ever.

  • DavidDu99819234 David Duque (@DavidDu99819234) reported

    @IBKR We’re all gonna come together to fight back this is just the beginning !!!!!!!!!!! **** IB **** bleu collars **** market manipulation were free to do whatever ******** we want with our money !!!!!!!!!

  • xls1977 LS1977 (@xls1977) reported

    @WSBChairman They aren’t the only ones tho. @IBKR among others were in on the fix and restricted trading as well.

  • wdfisgoinon Nexxx 😷 (@wdfisgoinon) reported

    @IBKR So the big traders are pulling strings to save their sorry asses. Worse, you guys are brown nosing them. Do you also prohibit them from trading when they short and spread BS news to drive the stock down????

  • paulcdejean Paul Dejean (@paulcdejean) reported

    I've been informed that @CharlesSchwab allows trading on $GME of course no marginable and apparently only via limit order. But that's still better than @IBKR who has shut down trading completely. Looks like I'll be transferring my holdings over to @CharlesSchwab next week.

  • LiveMarketChat LiveMarketChat (@LiveMarketChat) reported

    Peterffy says.... forcing short sellers to buy at $220 is "basically illegal".... huh? Its a bit of a shame as ive considered moving to @IBKR from @TDAmeritrade in the past when we had issues with ThinkOrSwim.....but not now.

  • danielsowelll Daniel Sowell (@danielsowelll) reported

    @5up3r_m4r10 @RickyClarkeIII @IBKR Thanks for putting this up. Interactive is self clearing, his BD is fine. For his introducing BDs can he just raise their deposit based on their exposure?Looks like he thinks the broader market is becoming unstable from this, but my BS Meter is going off

  • MarkUretsky markuretsky (@MarkUretsky) reported

    @IBKR just saw his stupid *** on TV a clown
