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

    @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.

    @IBKR no support at all as I’ve been waiting days for my account to be setup.

    Just got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Another week passed. GET RID OF THE GOD DAMN PDT RULES!!! What makes you so slow? Inability?

    @Cernovich and if you're going to borrow against your securites, use the right broker. @IBKR has *half* the rates of some higher profile brokerages and most equites require only 25% margin maintenance. Same equity on ETRADE or the like is 50% or even 100%.

    On the @IBKR institutional Client Services line, an India call center handles my security issues. It takes >2 hours to work through my 2FA issues. On the @IBKR retail Client Services line, I speak to a US person and it takes less than 15 minutes to work through the SAME ISSUES.

    @IBKR Hi Facing problem in transferring funds, pls how to proceed further…

    @IBKR I would really appreciate if every response did not say the same thing. Then I would know I am actually talking to a person and not a computer-generated response. That just shows how little you truly care about customer service and why you are in my opinion the worst

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

  • cashflow_king94
    Cashflow King (@cashflow_king94) reported

    Just over a year since I switched to @IBKR and went all in on growth stocks... Portfolio is ahead of the S&P 500 by $23,273. That's 11.72% outperformance. Ahead of the NASDAQ 100 by $9,283. 4.37% outperformance. Beating both major indices with 9 stocks and a system. A year ago people told me I was mad... Too concentrated, too risky - Should just buy an index fund and forget about it. Well the index fund would have made me $23k less. That's a car, That's a holiday, That's months of deposits into the portfolio. I'm doing it with fewer stocks, less complexity, Less stress. Quality companies the world can't function without... I'm not Against Index funds but most people think single stocks are risky.... Mixture of both would work well for majority of people in my opinion. Sometimes the "risky" approach is actually the smart one. How's your portfolio doing??

    @stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least

    @IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.

    @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR do you save before logging out? (File > Save Layout) is local JTS folder read-only? uncheck that so settings are saved also File > Global Configuration > Lock and Exit "Use/store settings on server" checked for backing up to IBKR servers

    I have to switch brokers @IBKR has some serious issues with their app. It's like 10x slower than any other brokerage to navigate to trade. Then stop limits don't even work on stocks with a penny spread it's bizarre

  • StrategicDegen

    I lost about $5k yesterday due to liquidation. I tried moving $5k to @IBKR, but it failed despite having cash in my checking account. I don’t blame anyone; this is part of the game. Losing $5k after locking in $65k gains last month is insignificant. I always ensure I have enough buying power and SMA. My mistake was opening a large $HIVE.NE short put that eroded most of my buying power as collateral. Even though it will only use half of that collateral for margin maintenance, it used full cost as requirement until assignment. Was it risky? Maybe I was set to lock in $5k from that play yesterday if the price didn’t drop. The lesson is to avoid selling short puts that erode buying power. Buying shares is better on margin. Next week, I’ll have more buying power to buy back $EOSE, average down on $HIVE, and buy $KEEL (hopefully below $5 when Asia gets crushed Sunday and overnight due to leverage). I optimized my tax lot for $EOSE to ensure as part of that liquidation, it took out shares that had gains instead of FiFO or LILO. This way I work around wash sale if I buy back shares within the next 30 days. DONT FRET, sill on track to $1M this year. I’m buying next week 😈

    @IBKR Genuinely shittiest trading app I’ve ever experienced Says my application was cancelled, but I tried to register a new account and it says my email is already registered. Can’t see **** after login sometimes, only left with user settings which I can’t even change ****

    @IBKR Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?

  • Yogithebearish
    joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR I find myself having to shut down and restart Traders Workstation twice a day. It is slow and a pain in the ***. I truly have had a terrible experience at IB. Good luck trying to talk to an actual person to get any type of support.

    Everybody is talking about the @RobinhoodApp MCP, but almost nobody is talking about @IBKR launching something similar. Interesting choice, though: @IBKR went with a ChatGPT app instead of an MCP server, so I can't actually use it in codex. Only in ChatGPT.

    @IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.
