Message: [QUOTE="Da_Aisijimo_Gou, post: 3827960, member: 264"] Unclear about others' perceived Schwab or TD experiences yesterday, but take the following for what you paid: Walt Bettinger and Schwab's related statement directly contradicts some media reports. With GME, we encountered no trade issues with shares nor basic put sales pre-mkt and before GME high yesterday. Perhaps some others had other perceived issues or misunderstood reasonable margin maintenance requirments (e.g., just checked, currently 300% for GME, AMC, BB, etc). Conveniently, added SCHW down 5.5% this AM. Still down about 4%. "[I]Neither Charles Schwab & Co. nor TD Ameritrade halted buying or selling ANY stocks this week. Neither firm restricted buying or selling basic options. Both firms did adjust margin requirements on select stocks to ensure clients had sufficient assets to pay for stock purchases. Both firms also restricted certain advanced options strategies."[/I] FIDO also reported no unreasonable trade limits, restrictions, etc. Not so sure the same can be said about IBKR, especially after Peterffy's comments, but we didn't touch our US account yesterday nor HK account until ET overnight. IBKR was down >6%. Schwab's statement: [URL="https://www.aboutschwab.com/schwab-statement-on-recent-trading-activity"]Charles Schwab Corporation Statement on Recent Trading Activity[/URL] [/QUOTE]
