  @blahajcapital @IBKR Im guessing they dont have enough onshore margin posted to cover their clients positions...there are no exchange problems....its bullshit

  @IBKR Boston might come out okay down the road but in no way did they win this trade.

  I thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading

  @IBKR No I'm moving to another brokerage. It's 2026 I'm not submitting web tickets when I'm trading $100k positions. You guys can pick up a phone like every other normal brokerage. Take some tips from Schwab and you guys need better customer service, app UX and really everything.

  @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.

  @IBKR A new week begins. When would you stupid team cancel pdt rules？

  PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reported 11 minutes ago

  Trying to sort an @IBKR account with stables for 2 days, and it's just an all-round ****** experience. Still waiting for stablecoin approval, interface is horrible, bad UI. Been waiting 5 minutes for the deposit button to render. Do non-crypto folk just accept this as fine?

  @IBKR Really need to work on the UI and also if the website is going to be so complicated you need to make accessing live support much less difficult

  Inadvertently transferred funds to @IBKR @thomaspeterffy in the US without even having an account, and now your website/customer care is so confusing, I can't even get an option to request refund/reversal. How do I contact you?

  Happy 19-year customer of @IBKR here. This is the first feature WS rolled out where I'd consider moving all 6 of my accounts. Let me know an ETA for when you can ship this, I'd rather not move.

  @IBKR I am ok with a slow server if you guys find a way for people to invest directly from pakistan without having to use @wise or some other roundabout method

• 
  Outlier Capital (@outlierrcapital) reported 16 minutes ago

  @IBKR still utterly screwing me. If $*** tanks on earnings today I will be broken...

• 
  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 17 minutes ago

  @IBKR Your investment into support is FAQ and AI. That is not helpful. What is helpful is talking to people. Hire people to do the job not a robot because trying to navigate you FAQ and AI to get to a location to speak with a person is a frustrating nightmare.

  ilia (@ilia_el_pro) reported 20 minutes ago

  @TheFlowHorse can i ask why when i trade on @IBKR i tried after hours etc and even if there is trade on nasdaq route at that bid price my bid orders is not execute even with 1% lower price or is like lagging sometimes to like that while hyperliquid/binance perps dont have this issue

• 
  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 21 minutes ago

  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

  @Fidelity having problems two mornings in a row. Time to start shuffling money to @IBKR

  Hey @IBKR how can you be so good at executions and soooooo bad at pretty much everything else?

• 
  MilkyWay (@Olua_AO) reported 25 minutes ago

  @D3GSolutions @IBKR I hate their UX, terrible for trades

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

• 
  Murray Finlayson (@MtnMuzz) reported 37 minutes ago

  @IBKR what is wrong with your website? I set up my account for withdrawals and have sufficient funds. So WHY does the confirmation keep throwing an error? And why is there NOBODY to speak to?

• 
  Cate (@joewechyy) reported 38 minutes ago

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon I need help

• 
  🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported 45 minutes ago

  If a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?

• 
  Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported 45 minutes ago

  @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?

  @IBKR take note . Please update your clients accordingly . You are too slow in this implementation, robinhood, webull, and others are ending PDT rule this week !

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your broker Too slow !!

  Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported 56 minutes ago

  @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

  @jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose
