Not freetrades fault but sad times

Stop spreading disinformation unless you have proofs, please.

They were with a company that until an hour ago had been perfectly fine. Do you not remember every other broker having issues yesterday whilst freetrade kept on going?!
Any post spouting conspiracy theories is quite rightly going to be flagged. By the other people who are forced to read that nonsense, not FT themselves.
Blaming Viktor? Not on, man.

Great to see this!!!
Its clear that Freetrade care about their customers and seeing retail investors as a force to be reckoned with and not wanting to profit from any loss.
Viktor himself suggesting that call options and cfd’s are toxic products.

I was referring to a users obvious inability to comprehend the in app message that fully explained what had happened and the reasons, before he went on a rant that has now been deleted
The context you added there is still answered by the point I made, and what you type to get that emoji is also mocking. It’s interesting they deleted there post.
I wasn’t mocking reading skills, It was their obvious they’d either ignored the message or just hadn’t taken it in. I don’t believe you would fail a comprehension test. You are obviously more intelligent than some of the people raging on here because their gamble isn’t paying off

THIS! Focusing on the important stuff.
Re-watching this is quite cringeworthy knowing what happened yesterday
Great interview @Viktor

It’s probably worth noting that when Viktor said “10x customer sign ups”
Most of them were signing up for plus because they were lead to believe they could buy GME. A lot of those people are really pissed off now 
FT have already announced they are refunding Plus memberships for January.
Anyone who could have bought GME would now be at a loss because the price dropped on Friday, and have a free month of Plus.

I think everyone understands those that wanted to buy GME or AMC or such aren’t happy. FTs position was that their FX capacity was severely constrained and therefore they had to apply a limit.
What they chose to do was prioritise selling so customers could get out of positions limiting any losses first and then open up buying to the most popular stocks outwith the current bubble set, which would have drained that constrained capacity instantly.
So again, I totally get why you and others aren’t happy but I do think FT did the right thing and I trust them to continue to do so.

I applaud their decision to refund January memberships, but for some, I think the damage is done.
I get that it wasn’t their fault to begin with, just thought it was interesting wording.
(edit because I hit save too early 
)
