Jamie Fortie (@FortieJami77198) reported@IBKR hey yo, settled DRS transfer not received after 10 business days, ticket system unresponsive. Phone call got hung up, all tickets are AI, no customer service. Like WTF, guys stay a mile from this broker if you can
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@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.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Your charts are freezing and I am in the middle of a trade. Your software is truly the worst around. Absolute garbage. Anyone not using IB that wants to consider it should runaway. Terrible custmer service and software that acts and feels like it is from the early ninties.
-
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Worst is anything automation. They are lunatics with that front
-
NottsStargazer 🔴🚀📈 (@Nottsstargazer) reported@IBKR support is AI slop nonsense. Nobody responds sensibly. Utter garbage.
-
SpackySpacky (@spactastical) reported@IBKR One of the least aesthetically designed desktops and least intuitive interfaces every made. So bad it actually takes effort.
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reportedJust got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.

ToXic God (@ToXicGod321) reported@rafikaliturki @IBKR What ******** does that have to do with this post you stupid donkey?
-
Atenov int. (@Atenov_D) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR can't even get a simple issue resolved
-
Ringiana (@Ringiana) reported@ThinkFinance999 @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Similar problem in the US, not just Europe. Must be SK's rules for foreigners holding KRW in brokerage accounts. LLM explained one solution to me.
-
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝗽™ (@Meeptimelive) reported@TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Sounds like broke people problems ngl
-
Michael Blau (@blauyourmind) reportedEverybody is talking about the @RobinhoodApp MCP, but almost nobody is talking about @IBKR launching something similar. Interesting choice, though: @IBKR went with a ChatGPT app instead of an MCP server, so I can't actually use it in codex. Only in ChatGPT.
-
Jatin Jani (@Jatin_S_Jani) reported@IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.
-
Prof.Coin 𝕏 (@Crypto_Educator) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR They grew too fast and their support has always been the weakest link
-
Adaxelo (@RoiSinge) reported@IBKR And what about the removal of PDT rules ? All brokers are removing it tomorrow. You are the worst broker ever, I am closing my account
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.
-
Otunba ₿ (@OgbeiEdward) reported@IBKR @IBKR I deposited funds during an account application that was subsequently declined. I have raised a support ticket, sent emails, and sent DMs. Over a week later, no response and no refund. I expect a regulated institution to do better than this. Please resolve this urgently.
-
Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reported@IBKR Very Bad service no responce 😡
-
DevilsFootnote (@devilsfootnote) reported@bclund @IBKR that's your fault.... STUPID!!!
-
STACKDOE (@STACKDOE) reported@IBKR by far one of the worst ui is ancient its 2026 ! mobile app made to make you lose money... not sure who even gave it the green light. just awful on so many levels.
-
Michael (@mjy220) reported@IBKR your service model is broken. I opened an account, got an account number, initiated funding it, and missed an email that the passport was grainy, was subsequently rejected and now can’t get in touch with a person.
-
Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR It takes me less than 1-minute to login to E*TRADE no matter the platform.
-
FrontRowBrian™ 🇺🇸 ₿ (@FrontRowBrian) reported@Cernovich and if you're going to borrow against your securites, use the right broker. @IBKR has *half* the rates of some higher profile brokerages and most equites require only 25% margin maintenance. Same equity on ETRADE or the like is 50% or even 100%.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@belfort0609 @buyerofponzi @IBKR I'm hearing this is an increasing problem. You will be better off elsewhere .. IBKR went from a top tier broker to a bottom tier real fast as far as I'm concerned.
-
Mr Sinatra (@MrSinatra_MDW) reported@grok @IBKR Still no Grok access!!! wtf?!?!
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@kiantrades @discord_support Yes, Discord and @IBKR both terrible services for traders. My rant for the day. Lol

Strategic Degen (@StrategicDegen) reportedI lost about $5k yesterday due to liquidation. I tried moving $5k to @IBKR, but it failed despite having cash in my checking account. I don’t blame anyone; this is part of the game. Losing $5k after locking in $65k gains last month is insignificant. I always ensure I have enough buying power and SMA. My mistake was opening a large $HIVE.NE short put that eroded most of my buying power as collateral. Even though it will only use half of that collateral for margin maintenance, it used full cost as requirement until assignment. Was it risky? Maybe I was set to lock in $5k from that play yesterday if the price didn’t drop. The lesson is to avoid selling short puts that erode buying power. Buying shares is better on margin. Next week, I’ll have more buying power to buy back $EOSE, average down on $HIVE, and buy $KEEL (hopefully below $5 when Asia gets crushed Sunday and overnight due to leverage). I optimized my tax lot for $EOSE to ensure as part of that liquidation, it took out shares that had gains instead of FiFO or LILO. This way I work around wash sale if I buy back shares within the next 30 days. DONT FRET, sill on track to $1M this year. I’m buying next week 😈

嘤嘤不苦🚩💪💪 ❤️中国❤️ 💪💪 (@yingying_n70783) reported@IBKR not bad
-
BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported@IBKR Followed up with web ticket several times. Slow response and unable to to say when ibkr will announce info pertaining to pdt rule change. Disappointing as all other major brokers have announced and majority are ready day 1 on June 4th. Will be looking at others options if no news
-
Kastriot (@kastriooot8) reported@MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!
