We’re currently not able to accept new orders for GameStop (GME) as our intermediary - Interactive Brokers are unable to process them. They are working on resolving this ASAP.
N.B. The unprecedented market activity in GameStop is causing extreme strain on the entire trade execution ecosystem worldwide. We want to warn you of potential disruptions due to the excessive market risk of trading extremely volatile shares. Order execution of stocks with incredibly heightened trading activity such as GameStop and AMC Entertainment might face sudden and unforeseen circumstances. Please, consider the risks before placing an order with these securities.
Hi David! I cannot find any official messaging from IB confirming this. Is there anything you can point me to? I was also wondering if you have any idea when trading will resume, is this a matter of hours or days?
When are the institutions to manipulate and leaving individuals to hold the bag, everything is fine. When it’s the other way around, it’s manipulation, ridiculous!
On a side note - there was another topic regarding the GameStop suspension, which was closed & delisted.
We put the best intentions to explain that the whole situation with the trading suspension is not related to us (rather the intermediary), yet many inappropriate posts were created in the meantime. Thus the reason why we do not consider that all this corresponds with the constructive feedback vibe which we aim to maintain in our community.
Every client of Trading 212 has the right to submit a complaint, following the procedures described on our site and as per the FCA guidelines. What we witnessed in the other post was completely inappropriate and not in our community’s tone.
