Let the voting machine start working. Asking for a friend in need
Without a doubt this needs to happen. Certain stock has strong evidence that it can go over this value.
I will personally be taking a lawsuit for loss of earnings if the limit is not removed in time and the price goes over. My intention is to sell at over this limit.

Additionally, I am a paying customer with the premium service. I expect customer concerns such as this to be taking extremely seriously with rapid turnaround.

Is it not possible to just sell in 2+ tranches that follow after each other immediately?

If there is the ability to sell lets say half a share for 25k when the value is 50k, that is acceptable but inconvenient. But from what I have read, this is not possible.

Ah ok, I don’t know if it lets you - but could you create two limit sell orders to sell the required number of shares at the right price? Maybe even set the orders say 1p apart to ensure the system allows you with a insignificant impact on the price you get for them. (Or actually, can you only have one limit order active at any one time… 
)
Alternatively you could set some price notifications using another platform (e.g. Yahoo finance or Revolut) so that you can do it manually when the price hits your target. It’s definitely not ideal and I also find it annoying you cannot set price notifications in the app.

FT have said they’re looking at it, its if a stock value is above 25k like Berkshire Hathaway.
If you go to triggered order it should let you put 50k price and 0.5 shares but it doesn’t let you past the price screen if its over.

It won’t let you do it manually either from what is mentioned previously.

This needs to happen anyway so I’m assuming there is a plan somewhere, just needs bringing forward. FT has managed to come out of the mire of forced trading stops looking better than most so hopefully they can get on top of this in time.

FT worked all weekend to engineer a solution to throttled FX volume, I’d say they should be good.
This seems very internet conspiracy/Qanon stuff, most of these brokers simply rely on crap old systems that couldn’t handle it, or others who do. Hopefully this will force them to upgrade and update like FT have had to do, all better for retail investors in the long run.

The proofs have been gathered over there. I’m not one for conspiracy theories myself, graphs like this make me think otherwise though? I’ve certainly not seen this before

It doesn’t look like this on Yahoo, is it maybe if there’s one or two trades at 340 it shows it when Yahoo might average it or have a minimum number.

Not sure pal, but between that, the articles posted about the dip before the dip happened and then other articles like CNBC going up within 2 mins of it I’m thinking something’s afoot.

One site posted an article 18 minutes before that large drop, detailing the amount it dropped by. This was a planned market manipulation stunt to try and cause fear and panic and people to sell. There are millions of FTDs hidden in ETFs and $300-$400 calls. When, not if, when this increases, there is an extremely strong possibility of it going over 25k.

Which site? Even the SEC would be able to put that together.
Google indexed a Marketwatch piece written 4 hours or so prior to the extreme dip. The article was changed and then hidden behind their paywall. There are some intricacies regarding how Google indexed webpages so this one isn’t concrete yet imo. CNBC having an article written, with pics, graphs and exact amounts 2 mins after the dip proves more at the minute I think.
Think this thread is a bit borderline pushing people to think that GME has a chance to get to 25k.
Assuming it’s possible and the limit is a concern to you - shoot an official email to FT.
The point about limits has been made already and now the thread seems like one person harassing the forum by creating multiple accounts and saying the same thing.

Because financial news articles are famously always written by humans.
If this thread is really about GME hitting $25K as reddit would suggest this should be super simple for FT to implement. Just allow the user to enter any number in the interface and don’t write anything above $25k to the database, it doesn’t matter because they aren’t going to execute anyway.

Totally agree. It’s amazing how the very first post from a number of alleged new members is about this subject.
I do hold a few shares of the stock in question, but whilst I would love it to go to $1 million, I trust the FT team to deal with this subject quickly should it become a possibllity.

Am slightly confused as the most expensive single share is Berkshire A shares which freetrade doesn’t offer, and lindt comes in at second which again freetrade doesn’t offer which shares are you referring to that you think will surpass the 25k anytime soon?
