Tracking broker-imposed trading restrictions, buy-side bans, and unexplained access limitations across publicly traded securities. Transparency matters.
Retail investors rely on brokerage platforms to provide consistent and fair market access. But brokers periodically restrict buying, limit order types, or place securities into liquidation-only status.
These actions can materially impact liquidity, volatility, and investor participation — often with no explanation or warning.
Market Access Watch is an independent initiative focused on documenting these events publicly, building a timestamped archive of access irregularities visible to all.
Buy and sell access should be equally available to all participants at all times.
Orders should be routed without favoritism or undisclosed conflicts of interest.
When risk controls are applied, the reasoning should be clear and disclosed.
Retail investors deserve the same access rules as institutional counterparties.
"When brokers restrict buying while permitting selling, it can alter supply-demand dynamics and impact price discovery. Market Access Watch monitors and documents these events so they are visible, timestamped, and publicly archived."

If you've experienced a buy restriction, liquidation-only status, or any unexplained access limitation on a brokerage platform, we want to document it.
All submissions are reviewed before being added to the public case log. You can submit anonymously — we only need the details of the restriction, not personal information.
