    @IBKR Where we drop or disconnect you call but Always Blame Your service. We NEVER report it to our tech people that we might have an issue. If you want to file a report go to Twitter as we never listen. Our tech support is the worst in the biz. Trade Anywhere Else! #weSuck

    @danushman @TrendSpider @IBKR Need free Trend Spider, help me out here!

  • RonMadison11 Ron MadisonGooGoo🚀🔥🩳🔥😳👨🏻‍🍼 (@RonMadison11) reported

    FYI $TSLA: @RobinhoodApp upped $TSLA maintenance to 30% from 25% in the USA. The game is wrigged don’t forget. Market makers doubling as hedge funds got crushed this week. Robinhood and @IBKR are their friends and your enemies even as their customers. Free isn’t free.

  • Al76294512 Al (@Al76294512) reported

    @IBKR Worst broker and platform ever!

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @FlowAnalyst @IBKR Wild. IBKR API does support tick-level data for up to 3 instruments simultaneously, last I checked. Works in my trading software, at least... But yeah, 3-instrument limit. Rest is second-based.

  • concealedchaos0 concealedchaos (@concealedchaos0) reported

    @RonMadison11 @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The maintenance on Robinhood really complicated the last time I went from shares to calls but to be fair it's my own fault for using so much margin by that point

  • thoughtspeed7 Raj Chaudhary (@thoughtspeed7) reported

    @cbucca41 @IBKR @Fidelity Glad I could be of help. Do note that I'm based out of India but I guess their support would be even better in the US.

  • SBauchart Sebastien Bauchart (@SBauchart) reported

    @IBKR Hi, TwsDde.xls file is down today ?

  • lklundin Lars Kr. Lundin "Immigrant seit 2003" (@lklundin) reported

    Dear @IBKR, do you have anyone at work in your customer service department? On Dec. 14 I asked a simple question about an internal position transfer (of some $TSLA shares) and still have not gotten an answer. Maybe answer this year? The message has reference number: T252581

  • mikekimelman Mike Kimelman 🏴‍☠️⚔️ (@mikekimelman) reported

    @IBKR So it's bad enough you closed a minor custodian account for my son. But now the money that you requested I wire to get the account open you've put a 44 business day hold on?? 44 business days! That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Please reach out and make this right.

  • FlowAnalyst FlowAnalyst (@FlowAnalyst) reported

    @averygrrl @IBKR Oh I know I know I used to login when I get to my day job, sometime my boss was there and alerts were popping up on my screen, me shitting my pants what if he see those lol

    Blown away by the customer support at @IBKR

  • frk0196 Franco (@frk0196) reported

    @IBKR Should get top 1 worst broker to open a ******* account, 10 days to open an account - and counting. Jesus christ.

  • L3120L Luke (@L3120L) reported

    Why ******** can I still not buy $icnm on @IBKR

  • DoNotLose TINA (@DoNotLose) reported

    .@IBKR made it too difficult for me to buy stock with cleared funds in my account saying errors like prior day's close balance was in excess of the balance of post purchase--- even thought the funds have cleared, so that's fine, i can withdraw those funds and buy somewhere else..

  • kyaninvest 🐍🔋kyæninvést🔋🐍 (@kyaninvest) reported

    @IBKR I can’t load my Trader Workstation (Latest) it keeps crashing - please help!

  • alshaigi90 Mohamed.I.Ali ツ (@alshaigi90) reported

    Any issue is @IBKR login issue and website ******* very slow can you please advise

  • Samlester609 sam lester 🇦🇺🇬🇧 (@Samlester609) reported

    @averygrrl @IBKR That’s so annoying. I’m with IG and I can trade instantly with a deposit. Stupid that you can’t, I’d start looking for another company personally. We are in the 21st century it should take days or weeks to wait for money to be ready

  • riffraff gabriele renzi (@riffraff) reported

    @bbatsov @IBKR HU fiscal thing: you put money/securities in a long term "box" (every year) and if you keep it >5 years you pay 0 capital gains tax. But the broker needs to support it (sync w/ authorities) and IB does not. HU brokers are terrible but end up having a huge fiscal advantage😔

  • gogetitman28 zkashmoney🛡 (@gogetitman28) reported
