-
0xW 🍌 (@0xWwwwwwww) reported@stoneymonster @TradingThomas3 Cause IBKR is ****. They know their data is wrong (for the past 15+ years), and they don't give a damn. @IBKR

-
nullnoob (@nu11noo8) reported@unusual_whales closing my @Fidelity account - can’t trust a place that makes stupid i’ll-advised decisions that are clearly disguised to produce indirect layoffs hello @IBKR 👋 I’ll be making an account TODAY
-
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon 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

IRENE EVANS (@evans_iren17300) reported@IBKR How far the Dollar is going down?
-
Boy Firdaus (@BoyFirdaus75) reported from Banda Aceh, Aceh@IBKR @boyfirdaus75, I Support GCV $315,159🇮🇩, but When will this Dream come true?
-
Rod J Davis 🇺🇸 (@rjd_mkts) reported@IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!
-
Haddie (@Haddie168) reported@IBKR your latest update to 10.45.1d and 10.46.1d broke the TWS RTD functionality. Customer support not responding. Will this get fixed?
-
アサミー (@krell_sophia) reported@IBKR damn, mine's stuck at 1.2%... time to switch?
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@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?
-
BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported@IBKR I have... they claimed they are waiting on finra regulatory notice but that is incorrect. That notice was issued 4/20/26 showing effective date 6/4/26. Other brokers are moving quick on this and your web ticket reps are uninformed. Many are waiting on this information. Pls help
-
Mathėus Lonning_ (@RosaYan1019) reported@IBKR You found this out, I'm not in trouble
-
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.
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR hi, I have a disability support pension and I would like to do trading through you but your platform makes it near impossible and I would hate to think I would have to report you to the a Triple C for discrimination due to income. Perhaps we can work something out
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR That’s comforting. Thank you. I was not able to place the trades again when cancellation happened. Support was not reachable. Later I got email saying it was a technical issue on their end.
-
The_Astronaut (@The_Astronaut18) reportedI want to like Interactive Brokers, I really do. Excellent rates on cash/margin. Theoretically, they should be a top broker, but they need to purge and replace their engineering department. Login issues today, poor site performance most other days. You had one job. @IBKR
-
mindfultrader (@mindfultrader22) reported@IBKR your platform went down in the middle of trades and cancelled orders, resulting into loss of profit. You guys didn't even give an update. Haven't been able to place orders since more than an hour. PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE #futures #trading #ibkr
-
Christine Folch (@christinefolch) reported@IBKR Unresolvable problem: blue "log in" button won't work for error "You are logged in without Trading/Market Data permissions You are not connected to the brokerage system (You may be logged in on another platform). The displayed portfolio and market data are delayed."
-
October Fund (@OctoberFund) reportedIs IBKR Paper Trader currently down? Why don’t I have permission to trade on the paper account anymore? @IBKR
-
DevilsFootnote (@devilsfootnote) reported@bclund @IBKR that's your fault.... STUPID!!!
-
Volatility (@EdwardAmar46469) reported@IBKR IBKR sucks horrible desktop and worse mobile app! Cluttered god awful! Switch to $HOOD!
-
super (@super509219312) reported@Alex_Steger_ @IBKR I am on Tasty Schwab Fidelity Hood and IBKR. I mostly trade on Ibkr or tasty or at times Hood. Everyone has their set of problems. But this issue is rather tough one to swallow.
-
Philoinvestor (@philoinvestor) reportedIs @IBKR Flex Query web service down?
-
Dave 🇨🇦🎧⚛️ ☸️🇬🇧 (@rellim_evad) reported@bclund @IBKR Agreed! They seemed to have changed to an AI customer service system, which seems to struggle with the most basic questions.
