    @trader2179 @IBKR @whop Or IBKR has to explain why there’s a mathematical error in the post that is now deleted.

    @IBKR I have recently opened an account with you. I simply do not receive security code over text or phone call. Therefore, cannot login. Whenever I try calling your support helpline, it always says it is busy and I never get an agent on call. Pathetic service. #ibkr

    @IBKR bad product

    @senzu_capital @IBKR Yep. It is worrying. All the permissions are in place - I checked, so it must be a glitch. I emailed my rep - she’s very responsive. Hopefully it is fixed by morning.

    Hey @IBKR any customer support or no such thing in your company?

    @IBKR if you think I'm going to shut up. If you ignore me you've got a whole different problem. I will not back down or shut up until some responses found and a resolve of this issue is met

    @IBKR Gee I can’t imagine how this could be terrible.

    @joemccann @IBKR IBKR has pretty bad data imo. Even in their api they mention that it should not be relied upon or something like that.

    @HalifaxDC @chessdunk @IBKR Yeah they will have to fix it. Let me know what they say if you don’t mind as to what’s happening.

    @IBKR Please inbox me for more information in and if you're willing to help me fix this issue you shouldn't (discriminate) due to financial capacity and I don't use the word discriminate lightly.

    I'm going to vote that they add @IBKR support to @edgeful. 🦾 What other brokers would you want to see support for? 👇

    @IBKR @bclund Login to IBK - nothing but problems when using Portal for the Lap Top. Requires ID, Password, then an SMS Code (which always worked_ but now takes you to a page that requires scanning a QR Code on your phone using the phone APP. Nothing but HELL. Missed trades, timed put while trying to update information, and on and on. Tried talking to HELP but could not even understand the individual claiming to speak English (no offence to the person). If you cannot communicate, then what is the purpose of HELP? So now logging in through PORTAL requires both the lap top and a cell phone APP to use the lap top. RE: Response from IBCS at 24-Jul-2025 Dear Mr. ______, This is a follow up to our conversation from earlier today. Your request has been approved and your account can continue to use SMS text as the two factor authentication method. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Kind regards, Michael M IBKR Client Services ****The result was it never worked, still doesn't, and have to use TWO pieces of hardware and two different software. Once I get to sell out of the shares I have through IBK I am gone!!

    @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.

    @dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Whop is the worst platform ever, they truly don't care about the customers at all, they are all about the commissions they get from the course sellers.

  • HyperbolicDisco
    Hyperbolic Discounter (@HyperbolicDisco) reported

    @SettleKurt @senzu_capital @IBKR The issue seems to have been resolved overnight.

    @IBKR please fix your stupid, ugly iOS app. Pathetic in the age of AI. Cc @vladtenev

    @simpelspekulant @IBKR Well, Nordea is the "quality" dividend name. Probably of the top banks companies in the world. Not cheap. UPM is interesting for their "hidden" energy holdings. Anora if you believe booze demand will rebound. Saga Furs for deep value play. Many names paying about 4-5%.

    @marketswithmags @TradingLucid Why Prop firms make it so hard for people to cash out money they earned? @IBKR doesn’t need you to cool down.

    @IBKR genius To setup the two factor auth the QR code in the main terminal will be lost because you sign in on your phone f me whoever is in your IT team needs the sack

    @IBKR Your India ops is a complete circus. The simulation is a joke, your customer service is clueless. Zero faith in doing any trades thru you.

    @bclund @IBKR that's your fault.... STUPID!!!

    @IBKR Hi, your menu option IVR language accent is beyond understanding for Indian customer care number. Can you keep it Indian accent??

    @IBKR I’m trying to re-open a closed account in Malta, but am locked out of 2FA/IB Key. Can you provide the best contact method for IBKR Ireland support to handle a security device reset?

    @assface_burner @IBKR $hood is a joke, won’t let you trade with unsettled funds when volatility is elevated like today. Ask me how I know lol. Its slow as hell, has terrible fills. IBKR fills instantly, clearly the superior brokerage

  • 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.

    @IBKR Warning to anyone considering switching to IBKR will allow you to deposit funds but be aware new accounts will not get approved for trading with no explanation. Here's the best part...you cant even send the funds back to your existing broker so just watch the market while they hold your money. No explanation, no customer support, just tough ****.

    @IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?

    @IBKR I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me
