@one_foothurdle @IBKR Happened to me too. Multiple orders got canceled. They said it was a technical issue on their end. But it it rather alarming, given that their support is hardly reachable. When situations like this happen, you need support more easily available to deal with it.
Rod J Davis 🇺🇸 (@rjd_mkts) reported 8 minutes ago
@IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!
Name Can't Be Blank (@BearBullDebate) reported 11 minutes ago
@OddDiligence yes you should have had a bulletin alerting you to that. And yes the clowns at @ibkr said they'd fix it, didn't, and then said resolved.
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported 13 minutes ago
@IBKR Why is TWS doing the following all of a sudden? Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time. Aggravating as hell.

@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon This is out of desperation contact attempt: Recently opened an IBKR account and trying to transfer in meaningful funding into the said account. Having a glitches and find there is NO WAY to get hold of a real live agent, unlike TOS or many others. How could this be? Please help!
Néstor Chávez (@nestdot_) reported 19 minutes ago
@IBKR @IBKRespanol I’ve been trying to open an account for months but keep getting stuck at phone verification. Sometimes the system even says “Your application has been cancelled.” Emails go unanswered and support tickets are unavailable. Please assist urgently.

@IBKR The url on your profile is broken!

Is IBKR Paper Trader currently down? Why don’t I have permission to trade on the paper account anymore? @IBKR
H💣 (@harryrhart) reported 25 minutes ago
@IBKR how ******** to do I know login into my account? I used to get a text message... now everything is ******! I want to place a sell order and I CAN'T ACCESS MY ACCOUNT! WHAT SORT OF TRADING BUSINESS ARE YOU RUNNING! #FFS
David Wayne (@WDoft) reported 26 minutes ago
@IBKR Sorry for bringing the average down.
Vrushabh Bhangod (@Vrushabh3211) reported 26 minutes ago
@IBKR hi , I think there’s an error with the total calculations when underlyings are in different currencies like ILS or EUR. The final USD isn’t converting the daily P&L. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thanks !

@IBKR Hello, facing persistent "unable to access account management page" error in IBKR app when attempting to deposit funds. Could you help please?
One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported 27 minutes ago
@super509219312 @IBKR It is very annoying. But in all honesty. It is the first time in a very long time that I have experienced a technical problem with @IBKR
kevin@Crypto (@ngocquang19877) reported 29 minutes ago
@brian_armstrong @IBKR fix your damn stock price for **** sake
Sourav Kolay (@ksrv_k) reported 30 minutes ago
@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR very bad experience! My profile access was restricted without any explanations. Contacted customer support multiple times without any response. Totally unethical practice by IBKR!
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported 30 minutes ago
@l1quid1ty @IBKR but yeh i get your point...its an exchange issue whoever that exchange may be. Clearly this isnt the case with otc stuff like fx which is obviously their issue.
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported 32 minutes ago
Is it just me or is @IBKR TWS doing things on its own, most of which are very aggravating. Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time.
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported 34 minutes ago
@AnyonCurve @IBKR Ah its pretty good actually apart from it customer service which is fkg abysmal, they juat swem to have had a few exchamge / price provider issues of late.
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 36 minutes ago
@IBKR Opening a ticket in your susten is actually quite difficult because you have to navigate a mine field of AI generated answers and faq. Your support staff is terrible. Last time I opened a ticket it took a week to get a response.
Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reported 36 minutes ago
@IBKR It's nothing the problem page can solve. The ticket has already been lodged with your team, but this is not being resolved and frankly is a joke
Acmesafeco (@acmesafeco) reported 37 minutes ago
@IBKR Warning to anyone considering switching to IBKR will allow you to deposit funds but be aware new accounts will not get approved for trading with no explanation. Here's the best part...you cant even send the funds back to your existing broker so just watch the market while they hold your money. No explanation, no customer support, just tough ****.
super (@super509219312) reported 39 minutes ago
@vraptor75011 @IBKR They said it was technical issue btw.
Weeble Rothschild (@noruserious) reported 40 minutes ago
@IBKR how has your service become just like the crapification of everything? trying out your IBKR Desktop. Spent 2+ hours configuring the preferences to where i wanted them. even did a "save as" to make sure I had a copy of the zip file. Now, all that work has disappeared.

@IBKR what maintenance??? App not accessible!!!

hey .@IBKR $IBKR this is getting annoying who does your prices these days ? Yahoo ? $RITM went ex-*** today ..... its green on day 10 cents while you have it red 15 cents FIX YA ******* SYSTEM ALREADY
Amit Gandhi (@amitpg) reported 57 minutes ago
@JasonAppel10 @IBKR All brokers have some system issues from time to time ! So, in that respect you can't guarantee 100% reliability anywhere. Still to find a broker that beats IBKR all things taken into account.
Dr.Ötker 99%FI 💸 (@dr_otker) reported 58 minutes ago
Last night @IBKR systems glitched AGAIN and cancelled all my outstanding orders, 17 in total. I just spent more than half an hour resubmitting them thanks to a poor user interface and slow servers. This has happened before a few times and I believe will happen again. So could @IBKR at least offer a way to easily restore the cancelled orders?
Light Yagami (@lightyagami3107) reported 58 minutes ago
@Akshat_World @IBKR please confirm whether there as an error from your side.
Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported 59 minutes ago
@IBKR My application U24947179 has been stuck since March 25. Promised same-day resolution, got nothing. Now I'm 403'd from Live Chat so I can't even reach support. No ETA, no update. What's going on?
Diamond Hands (@HandsDiamo96856) reported 59 minutes ago
@IBKR there is no way you are the #1 rated trading platform. When a client with $1 mm in liquid cash & 20+ years trading experience, and a credit rating of 800+ does not have approval to buy $IBIT you have a problem.
