Why we had to set a higher minimum for pending orders

So basically retail investors are being restricted from buying again! I get that it’s not your fault but if a stock is in the public eye people will buy it, this has been happening for years! Take the media pushing out vaccine names on the news, it’s no different to people doing their due diligence online in forums, but for some reason the powers that be don’t like that it’s happening and the fact that they no longer have control over market flows, after years of doing it themselves! Something got to give here otherwise we will just be going round in circles with market restrictions being placed every day, also by restrictioning people to buy more of a given stock are you not forcing people to buy into it even more? Could end up backfiring with this strategy? I just don’t see the current business model being sustainable and I think it’s inevitable that that the free part of trading platforms will become a thing of the past
