    @CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one

    @ilia_el_pro @MaxCarozza @IBKR I had the same issue. Seems like they are scrambling to fill the book.

    @IBKR @IBKR I deposited funds during an account application that was subsequently declined. I have raised a support ticket, sent emails, and sent DMs. Over a week later, no response and no refund. I expect a regulated institution to do better than this. Please resolve this urgently.

    @IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.

    @IBKR Yeah I checked and I’m connected to the internet…… Your quick support page doesn’t have anything related to blank screen after submitting application.

    Just got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.

    @IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone

    @IBKR lol this hits different when you're already down 40% on some random altcoin, ibkr dashboard just feels too clean compared to watching charts on your phone at 3am

    @IBKR Authorization with the MCP server failed. You can check your credentials and permissions. If this persists, share this reference with support: "ofid_4cae1cb49557c937"

    Marco (@marcoaam95) reported

    @IBKR It's been 2 months I requested a modification of my name and other data in the platform and didn't receive any response. That's not serious, how do you expect me to transfer a large amount of funds if customer support is inexistent?

    @IBKR You are a terrible company and my fund would currently be performing better if it was elsewere

    @jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose

    @ASTS_SpaceMob I'm not worried. Launch in around 2 weeks. I can take 10% hit. The only people who benefit from selling are the enemy shorts. MoC is up, available shares to short are down by 75% with @IBKR. Only way we go down is if someone wants to buy at a lower price - propably significantly more than you paid yourself. Dont sell, price goes up. It really is that simple.

    @IBKR Sorry for my question but I'm out of the loop on BTS and Jikook news because I've had a terrible headache. Are Rm, Jin and Suga in Paris? I only saw V, Hope and Jk stuff in Paris.

    Hi @IBKR, I can't access Paper Trading — I get "Your account is not currently eligible for this feature." Same error when trying to contact support. How can I enable it? Ref: aixKwfOGa2zoDfGn259cdgAAADA

    @IBKR Hello, I am trying to enable Options Trading Level 2 on my IBKR account in order to trade simple long calls and long puts on SPY. However, my request was rejected with the message saying that my financial profile does not meet the eligibility requirements. I would like to understand specifically what is causing the rejection and what exact requirements I need to update or meet in order to qualify for Options Level 2 trading permissions. Could you please review my account and advise me on the necessary steps to resolve this issue? Thank you.

    Hey @IBKR ! Why is it that your stock newsfeed in the individual tickers is so bad? It shows completely irrelevant information 95% of the time. And if it's relevant judging from the headline it doesnt work half the time when you click on it. This is really annoying.

    @IBKR It is truly the worst. A total pos.

    @solana @calilyliu Tokenized. Cool. @IBKR has it too - regulated, insured, no seed phrase (to loose). Liquidity on Nasdaq ≈ no problem

    @IBKR @ibkr has terrible customer service in my opinion.

    @IBKR This is garbage! I opened a sub-account on May 22nd and deposited funds on May 23rd, but it's still showing as pending on June 1st. I can't trade and have missed many opportunities. The price is already very high. Can't you compensate me? Damn it!😭

    @ChizaramNelo Yeah support is subpar @IBKR They will help but not the level of WealthSimple.
