    @IBKR Ron...you got it backwards ... YOU have to declare that you hate USA history and that it shouldn't be taught. Reflex....they'll support the opposite. DTS...TDS... See how it works?

  • MarcMil65466441 M&M (@MarcMil65466441) reported

    @DBinvestor_ @Trading212 @IBKR it could be IBKR being over-cautious regards a penny stock or I read a few comments about T212 liquidity. But I also read that ABML is not available on IBKR either which would then make the former the issue

  • Freedom22BB Freedom2B (@Freedom22BB) reported

    @IBKR This isnt a proper place to buy ads from. The musk is awful here. I start blocking on Tuesday.

  • HaveAlo00159046 Your Donation (@HaveAlo00159046) reported

    @IBKR You may have all the money in the world but if your heart is not there, nothing will move you to help others. It all boils down to the heart.

  • MrVarience Varience (@MrVarience) reported

    @abt_company are you aware that no one can buy your stock in the UK now as @IBKR are restricting it at the worst possible time under the context of being an ineligible micro-cap stock.

  • BossBlunts1 The Butcher of Wall Street | Marcel Kalinovic (@BossBlunts1) reported

    @Jessthattallguy @IBKR It gives error every time I try. Also I tried signing up for their derivatives basket trading and it still doesn't allow me to purchase amc1 on ibkr

  • DBinvestor_ DB (@DBinvestor_) reported

    @MarcMil65466441 @Trading212 @IBKR Where do you think these issues are stemming from? Seems odd to be restricted on that sort of scale

  • VerspreetIve Ive Verspreet (@VerspreetIve) reported

    @TonnerOWInc Why is $TONR still blocked @IBKR? What can you do about it? Instead of deleting that question on the discord, give an explanation. The admin should deal with issues, not delete them as they dont exist.

  • MarcMil65466441 M&M (@MarcMil65466441) reported

    @Stock_Trader97 @IBKR I feel for you.. hope they sort it.. was going top up myself.. They loose money by not allowing.. look at the day traders not working this stock.. shocking..

  • mazen_barbir Mazen Barbir (@mazen_barbir) reported

    @Ali_HAH I wasn’t expecting that tbh as the platform is quite smooth. I think they had negotiated a bad setup with @IBKR and now early customers are getting stuck between both.

  • JimBicknell Jim Bicknell (@JimBicknell) reported

    @IBKR Kinda stupid making demands to the new owner...

  • fly4dat fly4dat (@fly4dat) reported

    Amazing that I can't close my $TWTR position due to @IBKR's margin calculation (maintenance margin would increase, bringing me into a margin deficit). In fact, *increasing* the size of my long would decrease my risk level according to IBKR.

  • nope_its_lily Lily (@nope_its_lily) reported

    The good news is after all the worst people in tech get laid off, they can simply go work for @IBKR and fit right in.

  • Citrullin Philipp Blum (@Citrullin) reported

    I kid you not, underscore also wasn't possible. Minus did the trick. @IBKR Please fix this. This is really annoying and only wastes my time. 4/4

  • Bcoz000 because (@Bcoz000) reported

    @IBKR Actually most people know good English. The problem comes in writing it. For example some people write "good" instead of "good". They put the second "o" before the first "o". Which is absolutely wrong.

  • EmanuelAndino Em.Andino (@EmanuelAndino) reported

    @JMandersonBM @ProfitsTaken @IBKR I have watched them and I have made my decision on moving to IBKR, this week has been bad on TOS, since Monday it feels with lag and then the fills get worst. I was just waiting for a little bit more practice to withdraw and move to IBKR, but then need to wait until they clear

  • CahyadiSeptiya1 septiyan cahyadi (@CahyadiSeptiya1) reported

    @IBKR Life is full of trial and error One failure doesnt mean youre out of the picture
