Jatin Jani (@Jatin_S_Jani) reported@IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.
-
TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported@IBKR Called customer service which was an even worse experience. Rep refused to remove the 3 trades in 5 days limit even though it’s been well over 5 days. She said I’d get a letter re: PDT rules but couldn’t even say how long until those letter go out. She refused to allow me to speak to someone in a decision making capacity and when I asked to have the situation escalated she told me I had to go online and start a ticked…. You guys are a joke and I hope lots of people see this.

赛博游牧武士道 (@wenchengwude) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction

-
Biswayan Bhandari (@BiswayanBhanda1) reported@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...

Em. At. (@EmAt48652737) reported@IBKR So you guys are playing accounts liquidation, customers cannot transfer money between own accounts in order to cover margins, since transfer page is not working. I am going to fill a complain to CBI
-
Capital Helmut 69 (@FranklinBobMor1) reported@coinbase is such a piece of garbage, this happens on a regular basis, especially when you try to send crypto elsewhere. Can you imagine @IBKR or @Fidelity ever being down even once? Even if they were, they have customer service numbers you can call, unlike Clownbase. F these guys.
-
Atenov int. (@Atenov_D) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR can't even get a simple issue resolved

-
TruthFreedomPeace (@TheLepsGold777) reported@SOBRBC @IBKR If you got the "missing libxcb cursor library" error during installation,try using Synaptic Package Manager and search for libxcb-cursor0 and install that and then the IBKR Desktop install should work.
-
M T (@mtaaafm) reported@IBKR your making life very hard for internationals to start a 1k till 100k challenge.. been trying to get in contact with someone to help for over a month now, and no response. I funded the account and placed every requirement. And still facing this problem.
-
大侠 (@M2MLiRWzrWumuWR) reported@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!😭
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.
-
jazz (@hspnyc) reported@IBKR please help.
-
The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reportedWhen you reflect on the very poor customer support offered by @IBKR, the endless software glitches, and the that they don't even bother to produce a well designed app for the iPad--consider this: the company has enormous cash on its balance sheet. It could fix it all anytime.
-
Kastriot (@kastriooot8) reported@MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!
-
Otunba ₿ (@OgbeiEdward) reported@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.
-
Boris Povolotsky (@Borispov_) reported@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??
-
DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported@IBKR No solution for my problem so far. The Windows app doesn't go through the opening process in any of my computers in 2 different adresses. My friends told me they have the same problem. What is happening???
-
0xGoku.eth (@0xGoku_eth) reportedHow do people deal with @IBKR? Literally 50% of the time I click any button, the page loads for 3–5 seconds and then just… doesn’t load at all (I get some error message)!
-
Brad Ford (@Digetydog) reported@IBKR @ibkr has terrible customer service in my opinion.
