Full Contact Research (@fullcontactres) reported
@Investmentideen @ShmuelLon @IBKR In addition to that there is what's called Retail Service Providers (RSPs) - effectively market makers that bid on retail sized orders. That would typically be the bulk of the trades that you see outside of the above times. These trades will be labeled "OB" for "off-book".

@Investmentideen @IBKR It’s not IBKR but the market structure. The AIM market is still handled by market makers so nothing will get done unless they make their spread. The only fix is to put in orders for the auction which is mid market but no guarantee you get filled. Ridiculous in this day and age

@IBKR App: "Describe your risk tolerance." Me: "I panic when my baguette is slightly overbaked." App: "Perfect. Here's a strategy involving 4 exotic markets, 12x leverage, and a mild chance of summoning the 1929 stock market crash.

@Investmentideen @ShmuelLon @IBKR Yes, you can buy over the counter outside the auctions but that isn't supported by IBKR, I believe. Spreads are often ******, anyway, as one would suspect. AIM is truly terrible.

@Investmentideen @IBKR Some securities only trade by periodic auctions. Afaik it's not a IBKR execution issue.

Hate the AIM - market. How is it possible that @IBKR has such bad execution? Finally found something I am struggling to buy despite 400.000GBP in volume.

@DontWalkRUN @IBKR Yes everyone looks too glossy and robotic. If they’re not AI then they got a bunch of terrible actors or a terrible director.

Tricia (@MeComoSonrisas1) reported
@TheSpaceBet @IBKR @IBKR_Europe Android phones are required for login due to their wide use and security features. Yes, Android can be hacked, as its open-source nature makes it more vulnerable to cyberattacks compared to other platforms.

@IBKR Client Service is a disaster today

@DontWalkRUN @IBKR If that is AI, its very good. I think there are commercially available AI which can match that quality... but it would have several failed results to get there. I dont believe it is AI. But that can be accomplished now with AI.

Tom (@TomNazarian) reported
The developers and ux designers should be ashamed of both IBKR mobile and desktop apps, one of my most important app is nearly unusable in 2025!!! @IBKR I would love to help fix it! I.e.: switching Apps on an iPhone to makes you loose your order details. Are you serious? I mean really dumb!

The Space Between (@TheSpaceBet) reported
@IBKR @IBKR_Europe Why do you require Android phone to login? Can an Android get hacked? Cybercriminals often target mobile devices, especially Android smartphones and tablets. Due to its open-source nature, Android is more vulnerable. !!!

@IBKR I did trade options on your platform one year but then you didn't even give me a tax form to help sort it all out. I don't care if it's not required by law. I switched to Schwab because they provided a form to organize my options trades.

@PunterJeff Can you get the margin maintenance requirement lowered for $ASST on @IBKR ?

Friedrich von Schwaben (@Schwaben_von) reported
@IBKR @IBKR_Europe In order to buy US ETFs, I have to be classified as a professional trader. But then the real-time data become expensive. Is there no other solution? Partial liability waiver?

Could Do Better (@CoodDoBettr) reported
@IBKR Please re-read my message and explain why I can "read only" on mobile (Android) without fully logging in and why I cannot do this on iPad? Also why jump through multiple hoops on iPad to fully login, Inc getting codes from my mobile!!

@IBKR I cannot trade Gilts because your traders are on holiday, what level of service is that?? Very disappointed and acceptable. It’s a trading platform so it should work when markets are open, I pay for a service so hire traders that work when markets are open. Thanks

Avoid IC Markets. They closed my friends acc for grid trading and didn‘t even pay him out. He couldn‘t login on his trading acc and IC Markets acc so he was literally banned for making to quick a lot of money. I made a huge deep research and conpares all brokers: - @IBKR : Use when you have $100k real money - @Eightcap_aufx : Absolutely great trading conditions with great spreads! Australian regulated and licensed - @vantagemkts : Also regulated and licensed in Australia. Also a very good option!
