    @TaekwonV82 Hands down @ibkr if you're actually going to borrow on Margin. Clunky platform but cost to borrow is less than half of Schwab or TOS

  • makesmewonder Kelvin (@makesmewonder) reported

    @leastyoutried5 @TeslaBoomerMama @IBKR I tried. There was a submit button but it's not working at all! Will try tmr, thanks!

  • Eric_Zhongyong Eric 💢 (@Eric_Zhongyong) reported

    @IBKR Sounds like a great option for traders looking to minimize costs. Low margin fees can really boost overall returns when used wisely! Have you tried their borrowing service yet?

  • johnrees893 John Rees (@johnrees893) reported

    @IBKR It's already here get ******** out of your ivory tower Rapunzel

  • CHILIKIWInft ChiliKiwi (@CHILIKIWInft) reported

    @BossBlunts1 @IBKR Also broker support representatives have never been the final word on thia or anything ive seen countless time change one fep to another or one dat to another. Wqit for the filing and the distribution before making claims.

  • Jam_invest Jam (@Jam_invest) reported

    @david_katunaric Don’t forget all the warnings wen you actually want to put in a trade. Several brokers act more like kindergarten teachers or police officers than customer oriented businesses. Unbearable customer service @IBKR

  • Achilles007 Achilles (@Achilles007) reported

    @IBKR Why don’t you guys accept Nigerian customers? Please there’s demand here. You guys can try Nigeria and if you don’t like it, you can shut it down

  • a_a_ron1997 Aaron Biddington (@a_a_ron1997) reported

    Planning on trading on a paper account until all the trading scenarios have been tested and all the bugs ironed out. Done with the help of IBKR and Anthropic ;) @IBKR @AnthropicAI

  • CyberOptimusJ James Smith (@CyberOptimusJ) reported

    @TeslaBoomerMama @IBKR What the heck… are they using our shares as collateral? Never thought there would be a problem with interactive brokers

  • Jam_invest Jam (@Jam_invest) reported

    Which broker is most annoying / patronizing? @IBKR Just allow your customers to buy divvie-paying HK stocks, IB. Your customers keep on reaching out to me to complain about you.

  • K_rlosPerez Carlos Perez (@K_rlosPerez) reported

    I have been a @IBKR client for a long time, and for the first time, I am experiencing an issue with the broker. I am basically begging through the support center for a wire that I sent to my account more than one week ago. Seriously!!!

  • Rino868 Stop poaching elephants (@Rino868) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon NEVER download the app I did & gave my email address Decided to uninstall the app & now Im bombarded with emails & the only way to unsubscribe is to login I DONT HAVE AN ACCT so I can't login Such a pain in the *** & I own there stock

  • Buy_Side_News BuySideNews (@Buy_Side_News) reported

    @IBKR so annoying that I have to deal with bots to get so-called customer service. Is there a human out there that can tell me why I can’t buy stocks after I sold others?

  • IndMktTrading VA (@IndMktTrading) reported

    @IBKR **** your 3.58% Others are paying 4.1% APY and interest is paid daily.

  • NWeaver46542 Naomi Weaver (@NWeaver46542) reported

    @IBKR Batters Up. Swing,Swish,Four,Touch Down Etc. .. I Get The Drift(Racing)! Bets Are On The Tables

  • leon_oos Leon 🇿🇦 (@leon_oos) reported

    @TeslaBoomerMama @IBKR Had correct number of shares. No issues with IBKR

  • ppiluk Playing Bass and Taking Names 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇦 (@ppiluk) reported

    @IBKR This demonstrates a monumentally simplistic view on forecasting of any type. It is so bad that I question your product.

  • hutchonthego Hutch⚡💡 (@hutchonthego) reported

    @TaekwonV82 @IBKR With great power comes great responsibility. If you're planning to DCA into your account anyway, then you should have no problem using margin equal to your next few months of your planned DCA cash flow. Caveat #1: As long as it doesn't equal more than 25% of your portfolio (that way you could theoretically lose half). Caveat #2: You could be more aggressive with margin borrowing if you have backup Liquidity options elsewhere (high yield savings, life insurance loans, HELOC, 401(k) loan etc.. If you itemized deductions margin is deductible, so a 5.59% cost to borrow is more like 4% or less (depending on your bracket). Case in point... I got assigned 100 shares of $CRCL at $117 earlier this month and bought another 100 shares at $114 & have been rolling covered calls upward all month. Put premium + Appreciation + Call premium + Upward rolls > 1 month of margin interest < 0.5% per month

  • permanentsigh harith (@permanentsigh) reported

    @IBKR Hello, you need to fix your email. I have gotten multiple "Reminder to Think Before You Click!" emails. Look, I'm not dumb, I don't fall for phishing, there is no reason to constantly email this. I got one on Aug 31, then Sep 7, then Sep 14, then Sep 21, now today. Stop.

  • Aaron_Pilcher Aaron Pilcher (@Aaron_Pilcher) reported

    @TeslaBoomerMama @IBKR not surprising - @IBKR app has truly awful UX and customer service

  • starship_ride Yat (@starship_ride) reported

    @FutureIsTesla @Tesla @IBKR I have the same problem and I called IBK. They said it will be sent out mid Oct. Kind of strange.

  • Indiavictimhome Proud Indian - contribute for change (@Indiavictimhome) reported

    @IBKR can you revert? Reaching out to your support is a cumbersome process. @ICICIBank_Care doesn't care about customers and they don't understand issues . Global US stocks transfer process/ charges and unable to sell fractional shares !!! Two simple things but .. @SEBI_India

  • Rino868 Stop poaching elephants (@Rino868) reported

    @IBKR downloaded the app so I gave my email address. Didn't actually create an acct, uninstalled the app & now am getting daily emails, To unsubscribe you have to login - I DONT have & acct to login STOP EMAILING me So fucin annoying

  • Indiavictimhome Proud Indian - contribute for change (@Indiavictimhome) reported

    @IBKR - #Interactivebrokers : Are you the US broker with @ICICIDirectcare @ICICI_Direct as frontend for India ? Tried reaching you but cumbersome rather can't register a complaint. Can you confirm your association with #Icicidirect ?
