-
jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported@NickSchmidt Don't know about shitcoins. But for securities, there’s no comparison between HOOD and @IBKR on execution quality. I moved everything to IBKR a few years ago and never looked back.
-
Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported@FredrikEJohans2 @IBKR @CFTC It eventually got corrected after several hours, had to test it every 15min. But never got a notification on why it happened or when it was supposed to be resolved. Submitted a complaint to the CFTC regardless, super unprofessional reckless
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@IBKR fix your ******* app!!!! My lord it's absolute dog ****. Sell lots out my shares LIFO and your system then does FIFO when it's clearly marked correct. Then on the backend in change tax lots it shows correctly. Yet today nor the next day will I get credit in my SMA or NL

J.J. Jejeebhoy (@jjeebhoy) reportedObscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIm going to say something nice about @IBKR. After the Kospi futures and options debacle, they promptly recognised that clients may have claims and while I didnt really agree with the protocol for settling them, they settled them promptly with regular status updates. Not the worst.
-
PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@ross_w__ @IBKR I’m stuck on that **** show !! Currently down 500k and counting **** I wish I thought about using Kosdaq as an hedge to flatten out when they failed to take my orders yesterday night
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I have not been able to contact a living person at customer support all week. Your phone system tells you to go to the website. No customer support.
-
Rod Farva (@large_farva34) reported@IBKR Absolutely worst customer service experience of any company I have ever worked with by far. I hate you guys.
-
fundamentally its a bargain (@its_fundamental) reported@IGcom @Therichardralph @IBKR Says the company whose platform is down at a crucial time of day as market opens in US. I would suggest looking at ii - they are a quality operation unlike IG. IG will just disappoint.
-
Yousif Ashknani (@AshknKW) reported@IBKR No communications about ur boomer app not working during market hours ???

@Lionessxxxx (@Lionessxxxx1969) reported@IBKR Another load of bollox posted by google that has **** all to do with my UK timeline or interests. GOOGLE HAS REMOVED MY FACILITY TO REPORT SPAM/SCAM ADS BUT STILL BOMBARDS MY ACCOUNT & TIMELINE WITH **** ADS LIKE THIS. GOOGLE ARE THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@PhenixInvesting @skyquake_1 @IBKR Its possible to reduce positions in Kospi futures and options now. It wasnt yesterday, wasnt given any explanation other than they were aware there was a problem.

Charts arent loading. even account manager is super slow. what is going on. its been like this since yesterday. but yesterday it became normal again few hours after market opens. today as soon as the market opens. it has problem loading again
-
Ross (@F1ashmanR) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR Do they have a cash isa you can easily transfer between? Same issue as you with trading 212, fees are high on the fx if scalp trading, Anything small cap is slow and generally poor execution price in comparison to my IG trading account
-
Pupu Chen (@PupuChen4) reported@IBKR I’ve been a customer for 10 years. I’m quitting it n moving my pot over to another broker. Customer service sucks, they move your funds without your consent and are not forthcoming with the reasons for doing so
-
Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported@IBKR 2/2, bc that needs SMS too. So I can't login, write a help ticket, fund my account bc of wrong SMS ( that's strange, bc I have updated my profile regularly. Try phoning, they say. Get a live agent. After a really long hold time I did get an agent but he could not 3/3
-
Mehtab | Karta Ventures (@MehtabKarta) reportedThis morning, Interactive Brokers support emailed me saying I executed a huge FX trade... Obviously, I was freaked out! So I called institutional support and they said the support agent that emailed me was incorrect. Thanks for the heart attack @IBKR!
-
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported$MRNA 174.38 down 20 @IBKR delayed the updated option chains until today for whatever reason....
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Trust is less about slogans than execution: custody, disclosures, uptime, and how problems are handled when markets are stressed.
-
covertsah (@coversah) reportedI have never had a such a bad experience setting up a new brokage account @IBKR I fund it I choose the light plan but they give them the Pro plan that include commissions. So all my test trades pulled commissions today. I tried to enable trading for leveraged etfs they denied me won't say why, so i get to wait another 30 days to try again. Man if i had any other choice i would just withdraw the money move on but i don't.

thewalkingimmortal (@tyeatfood) reported@TT_stocks_ @D3GSolutions @IBKR Schwab isnt bad. but they dont really let the digital penny stocks too much.

Piyush Parmar (@learner_air) reported@IBKR Worst service

Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR you customer service is useless, not once did they mention how failed transfer attempts cost £££ each time. your website ui is awful. Attempted transfer failed twice now and you have taken all most of my £100 is fees… you need to make it clear for new users.
