Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@IBKR Your support is TRASH! I already sent about 5 requests weeks, some month ago. Still no answer. I dont think I will ever get one. And there is no other way to resolve my issues with IBKR. So there is no solution for my problems, while IBKR stock is skyrocketing. Shame on you!
-
Said Suleimanov (@suleimanov50905) reported@monad @IBKR Monad has so much bullish news, and I don't care about the price. I don't understand why. Mon is falling in price again. What's the problem, dear Monad, why so! Can't you raise the price of Mon

Sophie 🌙 (@sofi3727_m) reported@mm_options @IBKR Server-side outage, not your fault. Did you check the IBKR status page or try a different device?
-
Roman Lightman (@b_contrary) reported@IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.
-
J.J. Jejeebhoy (@jjeebhoy) reportedObscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day
-
Richard • Investing & FI (@Therichardralph) reported@financewithjoe @IBKR Possibly on low value the Fx fees being higher Vs trade cost might not be so much of an issue.
-
niu.niu (@Double_Niu) reported@ekapob @IBKR same here! this is sooo bad and can cause massive loss for users
-
HammurabiHarmless (@gach51565) reported@IBKR Hope you are not in companion with Interactive invest who are the worst scammers on earth.
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@IBKR A platform upgrade is only meaningful if order routing, outage history, and total trading costs improve alongside the interface.
-
MilkyWay (@Olua_AO) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR I hate their UX, terrible for trades
-
Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported@IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2
-
MW (@mw_invests444) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR The interface isn't great not unlike IBKR but you seem ok with it. Decent control as you have with IBKR, selling lots, in app charts. Execution is good. Fx is currently 0.49% so that is a drawback and too high for me. There is a dumbed down app for basic use.
-
jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported@NickSchmidt Don't know about shitcoins. But for securities, there’s no comparison between HOOD and @IBKR on execution quality. I moved everything to IBKR a few years ago and never looked back.
-
Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported@IBKR 2/2, bc that needs SMS too. So I can't login, write a help ticket, fund my account bc of wrong SMS ( that's strange, bc I have updated my profile regularly. Try phoning, they say. Get a live agent. After a really long hold time I did get an agent but he could not 3/3

ilia (@ilia_el_pro) reportedwhat a **** lag platform its even same accounts it even showed 0 trade only the first sell wtf @ibkr
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedDear @IBKR it's 2026 and you need to update and do some serious work to your IBKR mobile app for people who actively trade. When I call in people act as if nobody even uses it which isn't true. Get that thing like TWS and give TOS a run for its damn money.

Axl Rufi (@AxlRufi) reported@IBKR @Paysafe your ******* machine not working
-
Leticia Ft (@letilibertad) reported@IBKR Sorry for my question but I'm out of the loop on BTS and Jikook news because I've had a terrible headache. Are Rm, Jin and Suga in Paris? I only saw V, Hope and Jk stuff in Paris.
-
Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR The worst platform I’ve ever used, customer service is terrible, you’re a bunch of thief’s charging me £75 for fail transaction and you’re nit even getting back to me. Warning do nit use this company they are the worst kind to deail with…
-
@Lionessxxxx (@Lionessxxxx1969) reported@IBKR Another load of bollox posted by google that has **** all to do with my UK timeline or interests. GOOGLE HAS REMOVED MY FACILITY TO REPORT SPAM/SCAM ADS BUT STILL BOMBARDS MY ACCOUNT & TIMELINE WITH **** ADS LIKE THIS. GOOGLE ARE THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS
-
i trade options.com (@optiontrador) reportedI love how @IBKR still have PDT enabled like sorry I want to pay myself 10K daily? Also isn’t this note a ******* rule anymore? @IBKR wtf can you guys renew my ****? Today? Like before 3PM????
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Trust is less about slogans than execution: custody, disclosures, uptime, and how problems are handled when markets are stressed.
-
HappyHKL (@HappyHkL1) reported@IBKR It’s been half an hour and the system is STILL down! Everyone on X/social media is furious right now. Users are taking huge losses because of your outage—how are you going to compensate us for this? Fix this NOW! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
David Silva Smith (@DavidSilvaSmith) reported@VinniePetre @IBKR wow! lost a customer because they wouldn't respond!
-
Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported@CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!
-
Pupu Chen (@PupuChen4) reported@IBKR I’ve been a customer for 10 years. I’m quitting it n moving my pot over to another broker. Customer service sucks, they move your funds without your consent and are not forthcoming with the reasons for doing so
-
John Mason (@johnkmason) reportedSidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).
