Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _LongVol Daniel B. (@_LongVol) reported

    The platform @IBKR is the absolute worst. Had it not been the one place that accepted my LP/Fund I would have housed it somewhere else. Gonna try to switch it up end of Q1.

  • dIo8oIb 🎱 (@dIo8oIb) reported

    @IBKR could you unblock my acount please? I cancelled my aplication and now I can't login DU4528887.

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Your software TWS is the worst. Very unreliable crap. Can’t flip through charts fast enough because “attempting to retrieve data”. Can’t even do simple things like change background color to distinguish premarket

  • LeeSoffel LeeS (@LeeSoffel) reported

    @IBKR Do u realize its impossible to bring up the options window in any of the index ETFs or any semi volatile name? If I try to do it freezes my entire computer. To trade options I have to log off my comp & use my phone. How much longer are u going to pretend this isnt an issue?

  • RA1992 RA1992 (@RA1992) reported

    @danushman @IBKR Same problem here !!

  • Dinowakes Greg Doscher (@Dinowakes) reported

    @etrade Why is it taking so long to resolve the vendor issues on the futures accounts? Very disappointed, this has been a mess and I will likely switch to @IBKR once I close out these positions.

  • ScientistTrades Mad Scientist (@ScientistTrades) reported

    @danieljmardorf @IBKR I’m short from yesterday. Can’t pound the pig anymore. I’ve got a damn margin call to deal with.

  • AuditorInvestor The Conservative Investor: 15%+ Yield (@AuditorInvestor) reported

    @ByrneHobart Really wish they enabled the option to buy - at least as soon as things cool down (if they do). @IBKR

  • JimMakosCom Jim Makos (@JimMakosCom) reported

    @tamoust I don't know, @IBKR could be one place maybe? Liquidity could be an issue, though.

  • Dreuf3 Fred (@Dreuf3) reported

    @NickGiva @IBKR Then "To address this, Interactive Brokers has placed the ADRs listed in closing only and we encourage you to wind down your positions before March 4, 2022. After March 4, 2022 you will not be able to close out your positions." If we don't = we lose them ? Or kept until ... ?

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Please your TWS is a slow piece of sh*t

  • TickerTape31 TickerTapeParade31 (@TickerTape31) reported

    Anyone else notice issues with their charts in @IBKR this morning? Autoscaling not working correctly, can't display time periods longer than 1 hr, etc

  • MercuryBar2 MercuryBar (@MercuryBar2) reported

    @IBKR Why is your NQ feed down on the system??

  • James_Karn James Karn (@James_Karn) reported

    @danushman @IBKR I’m having the same issue.

  • DanLebsack Dan Lebsack (@DanLebsack) reported

    @NorthmanTrader When you try to cover at open but @IBKR has "planned maintenance"

  • aunztrader AUNZ Trader (@aunztrader) reported

    @whitebreadfox @IBKR Then why keep using it? there's a dozen other brokers you can use. Plus it's your computer that's slow, not TWS, it's the most advanced, fastest and reliable trading platform for retail traders.

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR NO software because TWS that you provide is the worst, unusable software on the planet. Slow piece of sh*t. „Attempting to retrieve data” my a$$

  • Notsmoking2 Sabado J. Domingo, Esq. LLC (@Notsmoking2) reported

    @NickGiva @IBKR MOEX website down but I don't think they're open. Been closed for days anywah

  • heatherm1122 Heather M (@heatherm1122) reported

    @IBKR I am unable to login to your website. Please fix ASAP. I tried on multiple browsers and mobile.

  • KingDasilvaa Á (@KingDasilvaa) reported

    @IBKR trying to log in my account but the services are moving very slow

  • johnm1950 John Morgan (@johnm1950) reported

    @IBKR I can't login at the moment. Is their a problem with the site?

  • tititot39014296 tititoto (@tititot39014296) reported

    @IBKR is the login page down? I am unable to use the website.

  • James_Karn James Karn (@James_Karn) reported

    @TickerTape31 @IBKR Yes! I really like @IBKR , but their platform has been degrading for a while. Support acts like they don’t know what you are talking about.

  • mach5doteth mach5 dot eth (@mach5doteth) reported

    I did not think it was possible to find worse customer service than @IBKR until I encountered @krakenfx , they seem to be working on winning the "worst customer service" award from "Karen."

  • Wilmer_CB Wilmer CB (@Wilmer_CB) reported

    @IBKR I stop using TWS on for macOS, to slow, then I saw the “Apple Silicone build” and wow! …even worst!!

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Fix TWS

  • babysealius Chris (@babysealius) reported

    @Fidelity Yes, I understand advertised reason for changes. Bottom line as a customer, your margin rates are not competative to @IBKR . It is also unfair to have such large requirment increses on what is effectively a secured loan.. especially w/o even a message / notification of change.

  • AgaCzyta Agaszka (@AgaCzyta) reported

    @IBKR How did you help Ukraine?

  • rom__im Pau R. (@rom__im) reported

    @IBKR for the last 5 hours liquidity has disappeared for the pair $USDRUB, although MOEX is open for forex and other platforms have liquidity. When will you address the issue?

  • MovIntegrador J Castellbell 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@MovIntegrador) reported

    @IBKR Does anyone else have trouble transfering money back to own account?
