    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!

    @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.

    @JoachimMo1985 @IBKR I'm not sure about issues at IBKR specifically, but having worked for a few brokers, I can tell you that the tech department usually comes third or fourth in priority. These organizations are typically led by marketing, followed by corporate roles (risk management, strategy).

    @IBKR impossible to get any help when the new passkey doesn’t work. helpline wouldn’t go through unless I submit a ticket online but can’t submit a ticket w/out a passkey. There’s an email submission on the page, submission failed w no explanation. There’s 0 help w lost passkey

    Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported

    @IBKR Your support is TRASH! I already sent about 5 requests weeks, some month ago. Still no answer. I dont think I will ever get one. And there is no other way to resolve my issues with IBKR. So there is no solution for my problems, while IBKR stock is skyrocketing. Shame on you!

    @ross_w__ @IBKR I’m stuck on that **** show !! Currently down 500k and counting **** I wish I thought about using Kosdaq as an hedge to flatten out when they failed to take my orders yesterday night

    @IBKR Phone support in 2026? I’m constantly traveling and changing phone numbers to the country I’m visiting. I don’t have a permanent phone number. That’s why I can’t login as you blocked the possibility to change phone numbers.

    @IBKR Yeah this pump's transparent as **** no hidden fees just straight pressure. That's why barely any callback like I posted, Sol guys squeezing it clean. Chinese holders mostly jumped mid way though.

    @IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2

    This morning, Interactive Brokers support emailed me saying I executed a huge FX trade... Obviously, I was freaked out! So I called institutional support and they said the support agent that emailed me was incorrect. Thanks for the heart attack @IBKR!

    @IBKR @Polymarket The score is now: IBKR 1, Me 0. First I went to AI to resolve my problem, and then tech support. They sent me to read some article that i couldn't see. I was going to send support a screen shot of what I saw when i clicked on the article link, but there support chat had a bug and the upload didn't work! You can't make this stuff up. In the end support told me to come back tomorrow and try.

    @IBKR during the registration you can pick a password that is longer than 40 characters. that breaks the login in the mobile app (probably truncated client-side) until you change your password to one that is less than 40 characters. please forward to your portal engineering team or whoever that can investigate

    @NickSchmidt Don't know about shitcoins. But for securities, there’s no comparison between HOOD and @IBKR on execution quality. I moved everything to IBKR a few years ago and never looked back.

    Hey @TradingView and @IBKR 👋 I’ve been trying to connect IBKR account to TradingView to trade directly from the platform, but the connection keeps failing. Is there currently a known issue with the IBKR integration? Thanks for the help.

    @Therichardralph @IBKR Hey, was thinking of opening an IBKR account for S&S ISA, do they support 24/5 trading like trading212? Searched online but getting mixed answers
