@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Scale was the issue at settlement layer. RH clears there own trades and when collateral rate was raised to 100% by settlement co they were not liquid enough for a volume spike on WSB stocks and were afraid of counterparty risk. So shut down buy side.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The Robinhood CEO was on tv and basiclly admitted the liquidity problem. Sounded that way anyway.

@Bernat_Huguet @IBKR What your video explained is that my IBKR funds are being used to bail out other entities. Halting buying but not selling guarantees my shares lose value. If IBKR will disable the buy (or sell) button so I lose money, we have a problem.

@h8tchi @enn_nafnlaus @IBKR If other brokers fail during the 2 days settlement period IBKR will have to find a stock in the market to give the customer the stock he deserve that the other broker failed to deliver, this forces them to buy at any price essentially making them short the stock

@IBKR @mcuban when the price of $GME soar, u put a restriction for buy order to "protect" the customer, where were you when the hedge fund shorted the price down to 2 dollars? Did you put a restriction for short-selling to those bloodsuckers? stop the #bullshit

@Presleytal @mkmfitzgerald @IBKR It’s not acceptable When average joe is making off the 1% but the 1% make money of the average every day for centuries. If geek teenagers can bring down the entire market then the market has bigger issues and be dismantled

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I have insight: We simpleton retail WSB's see mechnical opportunity for short squeeze. The Inners start losing big time. They shut us down because game is rigged & always has been. I'm an adult, don't need RH to "protect me". Supposed to be free market!

(@satsandspacs) reported
@BeanyMcBeanface @SSTSpacs @IBKR It is $10 a month to keep your account open but they take that down by around 1/2 cent with each trade. So if you trade a lot, it works out. You can buy units, stocks and warrants.

@IBKR Something very broken happened, which isn't surprising given the lack of care for your softwarel. When I tried to purchase 1 $AMC share my order was rejected 'cause it required 120,000 USD margin (web legacy) and on TWS it rejected w/o reason but let me open new opt pos (rigged)

@Robert__Botkin @IBKR @mcuban They did have collateral. The problem was setting aside 50% or even 100% collateral when GME went up 200% in 30min is unprecedented. IBKR cannot afford for its clients to go bankrupt and not have margin to back up their trades. Hence the restrictions.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Dumb take. Brokers are on the hook for their clients margin losses. That’s the first problem. Second problem is SEC undoubtedly is threatening these firms with Enforcement cases if they allow “manipulative trading” on their platforms

@IBKR But the short suits can maintain their positions while you help them by driving the stock into the dirt. Maybe you also need to have a talk with the SEC.

(@Pasternak94) reported
@MsGameTheory @IBKR @mcuban IBKR did not stop buying on GME. They just forced clients to buy GME without margin. The problem with margin is that it takes less than a 100% drop in the stock price to lose all your money. It's common for brokerages to do this during high periods of volatility.

@IBKR Your founder admitted on TV that you restricted trading in the names in order to reduce options exposure of you and other brokerages. You manipulated the market to tank stocks to decrease the value of investor call options on a list of securities. Criminal. LAWYER. THE. ****. UP.
