Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • thebigwinner_ Christian Paul (@thebigwinner_) reported from Atlanta, Georgia

    $GME isn’t traceable on @IBKR WTF!!!! 😡

  • bog_darius Bogdan Darius (@bog_darius) reported

    @IBKR How is this legal. This is market manipulation. You can't buy but you can sell? This drives prices down. @SEC_Enforcement

  • LegacyCanadian Canadian Permaculture Legacy (@LegacyCanadian) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR TD waterhouse is down. Trading platforms all across the world are simultaneously going down all at the same time. I wonder why that could possibly be? Hmmmm maybe someone smarter than me knows. And Robinhood still allows closing of positions in GME stock. Class action lawsuit?

  • krisgunnars Kris Gunnars (@krisgunnars) reported

    @IBKR What ********!! I will be looking for a new broker for the 6M I have invested with you and stop recommending you to others.

  • JustHitTheBid Forrest (@JustHitTheBid) reported

    @IBKR This $GME blocked order was a stock order with more than enough margin. Now $100+ Wtf $IBKR?

  • DawnBhasin D (@DawnBhasin) reported

    @LadeBackk @IBKR NO! They just shut down GME with RH. All connected. Webull?

  • dhallmu Doug Hall (@dhallmu) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They are completely blocking them we have the $ on hand to buy and have many other more stable stocks. They caused at least 2 of our investments to crash. Really whoever made these decisions should got to jail.

  • DwayneSloan Dwayne Sloan (@DwayneSloan) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Help us sue these guys. This is not right. I should have the right to buy sell whatever stock I choose on their platform. They allowed me to yesterday. Who's allowed to change the rules!

  • TeamBongEsports Team Bong (@TeamBongEsports) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR This isn’t right. The market is FREE. So what if people buy a stock and break the hedge fund shenanigans. How can they stop purchasing? This is a big issue. The American people need support against this ****.

  • BigMoneyAg BigMoneyAg (@BigMoneyAg) reported

    @charlesf11 @IBKR **** you @IBKR . The situation will subside when they get their shorts shoved up their ***.

  • empirezhu empirezhu (@empirezhu) reported

    @IBKR **** you @IBKR blocking GME buying. If this is not collusion then what ******** is? Class action coming to you @IBKR btw. Not selling don’t give a **** if my 14k goes to $0. My conviction just got stronger

  • aurbas2 Alex (@aurbas2) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The stocks are going down Mark because Robinhood only gives them the option to sell these stocks! They are manipulating the market

  • nicholasphan Nicholas Phan (@nicholasphan) reported

    @IBKR I'm sorry what? You're picking a side and manipulating the price DOWN if you only allow HOLD or SELL orders. Hmm and if we can't buy.. who's buying? Short holders who get to cover themselves at a lower price?

  • deionsantamaria D̸̛̛̞̻̫̪̘̱̠̭͎̀̏̽̽̍̾̊̆̀̓͘̕͜ (@deionsantamaria) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The only billionaire I’ve seen support the uprise of the middle class 💯

  • ngster1 Kevin Ng (@ngster1) reported

    @IBKR @t3live This is such bullshit. How can you shut down what customer wants to trade? This destroys capitalism!

  • SoCo0609 Mike (@SoCo0609) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR TD Ameritrade app is completely shut down. They killed it. Not functioning at all

  • Shefu88540221 TaviT (@Shefu88540221) reported

    @LadeBackk @IBKR Welcome brother! I am using IBKR and it is not bad. For you in the US you can use the mobile app commission free if I am not mistaken - IBKR Lite. For me is only Pro - I pay commission

  • empirezhu empirezhu (@empirezhu) reported

    @IBKR **** you @IBKR blocking GME buying. If this is not collusion then what ******** is? Class action coming to you @IBKR btw. Not selling don’t give a **** if my 14k goes to $0. My conviction just got stronger

  • Rob_Meehan_ Rob Meehan (@Rob_Meehan_) reported

    @IBKR I guess I'm just not as smart as the folks running this trading platform. I mean, I get the margin requirement for shorting a stock, (and 300% probably wouldn't help a lot of people who shorted $GME) but can they explain the requirement for margin for a long position?

  • TaylorMc89 Taylor McClenny (@TaylorMc89) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR RH won't let us trade those equities (or no buy, and restricted selling) and Webull has logged me out "unexpectedly". When I try to sign in it says "System is busy, try again later"... This is insane!

  • vdd007 Dimitri (@vdd007) reported

    @IBKR I can not short all these names at all - not shortable!!! 💩 Why is that? To support Citron & co.?

  • Ungods2 Mack Bros Pictures (@Ungods2) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR #dogecoin doesn’t look to bad now with all this going on. 🧐

  • Supertanker2020 SuperTanker (@Supertanker2020) reported

    @IBKR Screw u. First a slow app. Then a non responsive help desk. Now this.

  • 123eb Ash Bek (@123eb) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR TD’s site is down. #tdameritrade

  • RLauzums Raimonds Lauzums (@RLauzums) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR If a service is free, the user is not the customer, they are the product being sold. Guess they sold the user to the highest bidder?

  • 1775PHenry Christopher Sisco (@1775PHenry) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR MC does not understand trading!!! So if RH does not the liquidity then only allow traders to buy the stock not all them to short it. Stopping them from buying does nothing except allow hedgies to bail. **** hedgies and anyone making excuses for them.

  • DawnBhasin D (@DawnBhasin) reported

    @LadeBackk @IBKR NO! They just shut down GME with RH. All connected.

  • anthonytardugno Tony (@anthonytardugno) reported

    This is a total shitshow. Why ******** we call it “Free” Market if it is rigged in order for HFs and IBs to win. **** you @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Total manipulation.

  • SpacMan11 The Italian SPACchio (@SpacMan11) reported

    @TradeZer0 Dear, I’m not your customer, I would like to know if you are blocking your customer freedom to buy stocks such as “the ones with major volatility”. Thanks for consideration! @RobinhoodApp @IBKR

  • alikhaz_is Zafar (@alikhaz_is) reported

    @MohammedNalla @michaellebowitz i did a test buy of a single $AMC an hour ago on @IBKR and it went through no issues.
