  • nope_nope696969 Unknown ************ (@nope_nope696969) reported

    @student__OfLife @IBKR not only that, liquidating options positions. that causes severe downward positions on those call options and the market makers sell their shares in hedged, driving stock price further down.

  • student__OfLife StudentOLife (@student__OfLife) reported

    @IBKR You’ve shown your true colours IB. Really disappointed, I was recommending people to your platform, and now it’s the other way. The CEO embarrassed the company on TV. Hard workers in there should whistle blow and come forward to help with the class action lawsuit.

  • ergodrake Christopher Drake (@ergodrake) reported

    @IBKR How do I get help? There is no chat, can't send a message - everything just links to confusing written instructions that for my case do not work.

  • glgallucci ElliotWavey (@glgallucci) reported

    @IBKR Do not join this platform! They've restricted trading and had option premium issues. After talking with customer service there is no remorse or help when this was there doing... Don't put your hard earned money into IBKR

  • rafal_ablewski Rafał Ablewski (@rafal_ablewski) reported

    @IBKR We're Sorry. The server is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

  • keny2b ken yasny (@keny2b) reported

    @IBKR this sounds like something Pacific Western Bank would encourage people to do and then they would take their homes if they got into trouble – like lost a job in a pandemic or was discriminated against getting a mortgage. Pacific Western Bank doesn't seem to care about ANY lives

  • danushman dan ushman (@danushman) reported

    As a software vendor myself in the trading tech world, I have to say ... @IBKR give me a ring! You need some engineering help and clearly your people aren't up to it. Let Uncle Dan fix it for ya!

  • thedonalddump87 Mar (@thedonalddump87) reported

    @IBKR is Chat support down? Been waiting for 2 hours for a customer rep and haven't been able to reach one yet.

  • bclund Brian Lund (@bclund) reported

    @GatorStockChomp @NirmalREI @IBKR Yeah, really. I've used them for 20 years and can count on one hand the number of time the platform has been down. Really.

  • ergodrake Christopher Drake (@ergodrake) reported

    @IBKR Your help desk is ******** garbage. I have been trying to solve a technical issue now for over 24 solid hours and I can even open a ticket.

  • SafalN Safal Naik (@SafalN) reported

    @IBKR Also have same expression when I get a bad fill from your platform.

  • KeithMontana9 Keith (@KeithMontana9) reported

    @IBKR Would want to hope my Doctor is quicker at getting back to me than your support team, A week today waiting on a web ticket response, Great job...

  • vinaeco Vincent Turner (@vinaeco) reported

    @IBKR so many fails on your platform trying to sign up .. I give up.. if any interest in trying to fix then DM me (ive literally tried all your online support channels and none of them work either)

  • mr_cakes7 ken (@mr_cakes7) reported

    @IBKR #ibkr being on hold for over 3 hours is unacceptable. just created my account and was having issues DEPOSITING funds and needed support - u were no where 2 be found. worst customer service ive ever encountered. chat/phone/faqs were a joke. account closed after 2 days

  • RamiAbiAbboud Rami Abi Abboud (@RamiAbiAbboud) reported

    @IBKR i've created an account with you like 2 months ago and it is still under review not giving me the chance to trade even though i have deposit it in my account. No reply to my emails nor to ibot nor on the phone?! Need some help understanding what's happening with my account.

  • mr_cakes7 ken (@mr_cakes7) reported

    @IBKR would be great if we could get some customer service .... been on hold for over an hour yesterday with nothing ... going for almost another hour today with nothing ... what worse is in trying to put more money in

  • InnocenceCapit1 InnocenceCapital (@InnocenceCapit1) reported

    @GrantHesser @IBKR Just to be clear here, they don’t need to put their firm b/s at risk so chuckleheads can do stupid things without posting adequate collateral.

  • MonyMkinMachin Y (@MonyMkinMachin) reported

    @IBKR Lol fix your ******* connections first

  • danushman dan ushman (@danushman) reported

    @Gastogne @IBKR They sent me one last week about $GME calls that I supposedly owned that were expiring in the money...only problem is I never owned GME calls lol. They seem to have their pants down right now. Options tree was blank last 15 minutes of trading today here :( Very annoying

  • Ronmon_m Aaron (@Ronmon_m) reported

    @IBKR Solid platform but horrible connection issues during times of volatility. Constant log outs.

  • traderric TraderRic (@traderric) reported

    @IBKR Everyone understands a sudden increase in call volume, but the extremely long hold times have been a chronic problem for as long as I can remember. is that how little you value your customers?

  • a_whistle Austin Whitaker (@a_whistle) reported

    @danushman @IBKR Always have problems with basic functions on IB
