To be fair, RH does sometimes have problems. They blew up the other morning and screwed over a number of people by closing their accounts for the day while they tried to figure out how their system credited them with options sales at 10-100x actual value. RH has definitely got bugs, and if I were serious about playing the market I'd go with IB or TW, or just about anyone else.

That number of people is quite large. Between FB groups, reddit and Twitter comments it definitely exceeds the hundreds.

I was locked out for 29 hours with expiring strangles that would have had significant upside if closed at the right time, lost everything put into them by the time I could get back in.

Never received communication about the lock out or being allowed back in.

They have no phone support and during that whole period not a single email was responded to.

To imagine this company as a bank is one of the most ridiculous concepts ive heard of.
