If the IBKR stock keeps tanking, what will happen to my account?

  1. What is UP with IBKR being so far DOWN today?? New 52-week low, big boost in implied vol, heavy put activity. What's up with that?

  2. IB accounts are insured, relax. If you're concerned about not being able to trade IF, and that's a huge IF something happens with IB, then open a backup account somewhere.

  6. My guess is it was a manipulation.

    Other details involved but you don't pay me enough for those

  7. I'm afraid it's never been an area of research I've been interested in, so on that point I'll have to bow to your superior knowledge :)

  9. i watched it the whole time. 1 guy selling the crap out of whatever he could see. Fairly patient too, constant, non climactic volume. Eventually he left as you can see volume died, and it regulated.

  10. IBKR trades very thin. Easy to manipulate.
