    @buyerofponzi @IBKR can't even get a simple issue resolved

  • christinefolch
    Christine Folch (@christinefolch) reported

    @IBKR Unresolvable problem: blue "log in" button won't work for error "You are logged in without Trading/Market Data permissions You are not connected to the brokerage system (You may be logged in on another platform). The displayed portfolio and market data are delayed."

    @IBKR Using the inquiry on yourwebsite with my username/account name gives me an error as well, so really there is no means getting to you guys. Kind of disgraceful isn't it? @IBKR

  • ChukwuRN
    Chukwuebuka🇳🇬 (@ChukwuRN) reported

    You can't even open an account with @IBKR because I am a Nigerian. One of the worst feelings I have ever felt this evening. I have no idea why this happened but it is bad. They need to change this policy about Nigeria.

    @CharlesSchwab @IBKR Today during the extreme volume spikes, the Java client completely locked up, preventing me from broadcasting closing orders to the exchange via AT. I’d appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.

    @IBKR Why doesn't the registration support Saudi Arabia?

    @renatodelarento @Trading212 @IBKR IBKR: interesting info. But 4me, I can't digest all the incoming on the investment front for myself. That's why I'm willing to pay someone (they get a cut of my investment) who is more trained than myself. My training: fight fires, b a paramedic, fix auto body's, & not worry.

    @bclund @IBKR Agreed! They seemed to have changed to an AI customer service system, which seems to struggle with the most basic questions.

  • arnoblits
    Arno (@arnoblits) reported

    @CharlesSchwab @IBKR I have gone through your standard support channels before, and the result is always a deflection of accountability back onto my local hardware. The issue is not my machine's optimization; it is the fundamental architectural bottleneck of your legacy Java-based platform.

    @joemccann @IBKR You are doing god’s work! Ibkr probably has one of the worst apis

    @IBKR I have been waiting for a reply from support for 10 days on an issue i’m experiencing with my new account….

    @yedior @GracyBitget @IBKR Please elaborate further on your concern or you may send us a direct message to properly address the issue.

  • KuroKatball
    Kuro Katball 🐈‍⬛ (@KuroKatball) reported

    @IBKR How do I get a human tech support person on the line? I specifically wanted help with an issue because the iBot information is not helping at all, but all I get from support is more copy paste AI answers and they keep closing my ticket without even reading my question.

  • BatcatCA
    BatCAt (@BatcatCA) reported

    @IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.

    @joemccann @IBKR It is not clean. It is some of the worst data you can use. Good luck. 🫡

  • ThinkFinance999
    Paulo Santos (@ThinkFinance999) reported

    @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Typically, no. You might exceeding the number of KRW you need to buy, and if you're in Europe, new stupid regulation (for which Europe is famous) won't let you buy even 1 KRW in excess if you have any margin anywhere. Reduce how many KRW you're buying and try again.

  • Empress_Cap

    @bclund @IBKR Everyone has had these same thoughts multiple times with $IBKR for one issue or another. You'll be back. They're so much better

  • krell_sophia

    @IBKR damn, mine's stuck at 1.2%... time to switch?

  • GardinerIsland

    c'mon .@IBKR .... $ARLP went ex-*** on 60 cents today it closed at $25.55 yesterday and being at $25.10 today is green 15 cents , not red 45 cents Bloomberg also saying same error fix ya crappy systems

  • belfort0609
    Violet (@belfort0609) reported

    @buyerofponzi @IBKR I told them to go **** themselves in the email closing my account. Never going back. Their building janitor can run their ops desk better than every keyboard monkey on there combined.

  • ethics3606
    Ethics (@ethics3606) reported

    I have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.

  • blackjack_god
    BlackjackGod (@blackjack_god) reported

    @IBKR 24 hour access sounds like edge until you price 3 things: carry, margin calls, and overnight gaps. More table hours only help if your read survives the next open.

  • EthanTrades13
    Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reported

    @IBKR @Darwinexchange ????? Both of you are telling me to contact the other. This is a service provided directly through your company with each other. Can someone please assist me ?

  • EliteGainzTrade
    EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported

    @buyerofponzi @IBKR Terrible service, perhaps the worst. I've had countless glitches and had my account locked before too.

  • IlhadoSteve
    Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported

    @IBKR you have terrible cutomer service. If someone is denied a product and can't reapply for 30 days then how and when exactly are people supposed to get a chance to submit additional information for consideration? Your reps on the phone are so frustratingly stupid.

  • FreeDrThug
    jacob (@FreeDrThug) reported

    @yeaaahzzz @IBKR It’s not terrible at all lol. Which platform do you think best? Or rather list a few that are materially better?

    @IBKR Hey I deposit funds from bank to IBKR without a deposit notice. Can't open a ticket or access live chat since your website is down...

  • prathap_moola
    prathap chandra (@prathap_moola) reported

    @IBKR's customer support in india is literally non existent. nobody is willing to help and resolve my queries. Kindly help enable permission for trading and override the cooling period. Also there is no acknowledgement or confirmation of money transfer as well

  • one_foothurdle
    One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported

    @IBKR Thx for your reply, but this was a week ago. 😬 This was a first technical issue in a long time, so no hard feeling, but would have liked a much swifter response in the app,this took several hours and that is just too long.
