    @IBKR I can't open my IBKR account. It’s been inactive for 6 months and I've been trying to reopen it for the last 2 months. Why is the interface not user-friendly? I've also been contacting customer support for a month, but their responses aren't helpful...

    @IBKR "‘Not urgency" must be your customer service mantra. It takes months just to handle a simple complaint.

  • Ramblin_Rebel13
    Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported

    I have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    My goodness I can't wait to leave @IBKR now Friday and today always communication errors when trying to load the option chain and can't make a move. You guys absolutely suck and don't care a bit about your clients. Spare me the web ticket message you're about to drop.

    @IBKR today I have tried to open TWS in 3 different PCs and it stalls at the "reading layout configuration" screen. I uninstalled the latest version of the software and installed the stable version and had the exact same results. Never had this problem before. I accessed your website and there is no record of such problem currently.

    @IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    On @IBKR buy an options contract nothing wild just a put on a 100 lot of ZS. Contract was trading at .01 for the bid and .27 for the ask. I put the midway .14 literally smack in the middle. Contract instantly fills. For .21 lol like wtf man.

    @IBKR Fix first your login form and recovery instructions

    @Dilpree28887118 @IBKR A lot of distress and frustration. There's absolutely no reason for them to block my access to my accounts. It's unethical. The affected customers. They must be sued, and an ALERT must be issued to customers to avoid the BAD SERVICE and disrespect of this trap called ibkr.

    @hanshaozi @IBKR I’m interested, too. @IBKR Would you at least address this issue publicly and state when do you plan on removing PDT rule??

    @cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Only issue with IKBR is they won't accept partial ISA trsnsfers in. Has to be the full portfolio for any given year.

    @SquawkStreet @IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972

    @IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2

  • FactPulse93508
    FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported

    @IBKR Literally the worst broker imaginable. They block tickers now, they price cap anything remotely volatile, even large caps so you're stuck in a bad trade or can't enter a good one. This broker is anti-success. High fees and trading interference. Run from this broker.

    @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.

    @AshknKW @IBKR Bro I sold a lot of things 15 minutes before the crash I would go crazy now if I didn't.

    @IBKR You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you

    Has anyone else had issues with Trading Permissions for US penny stocks on @IBKR? Their customer support isn't the best either... way too slow.
