Restrictive moves come as shares of GameStock shot up 1,600% as traders in online chat forums have gone on to take large bets on the stock using options

On 27 January, TD Ameritrade said it was restricting trading in GameStop GME, and AMC Entertainment Holdings, along with other names, amid a triple-digit percentage surge in the price of those companies in recent days.
