  @IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.

  Has anyone else had issues with Trading Permissions for US penny stocks on @IBKR? Their customer support isn't the best either... way too slow.

  @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic

  @IBKR And HORRIFIC SLIPPAGE that crushes P&L, with slow customer service in submitting trade busts to CBOE that costs clients money. I'm mad at you.

  @IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.

  @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.

  @kyingda @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972

  @IBKR the worst investment platform I’ve ever dealt with! Random rules that forcibly convert currencies, AI shoved down my throat even when I clearly said it was not helping and I needed someone to look into my issue! So yeah, taking my business somewhere else.

  @IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.

  @IBKR @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!

  @defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!

  @kyingda @IBKR 1(877)4422757 This number and the other one are a FARCE, there is no contact, it is IMPOSSIBLE, thousands of issues without answers, the INCOMPETENCE and NEGLIGENCE of ibxr diminished customer service.U25159972

  @IBKR fix your ******* app!!!! My lord it's absolute dog ****. Sell lots out my shares LIFO and your system then does FIFO when it's clearly marked correct. Then on the backend in change tax lots it shows correctly. Yet today nor the next day will I get credit in my SMA or NL

  @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

  @MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.

  Ugh, calling @IBKR for the 13th time in 10 business days to try and resolve what I believe to be a simple issue 😡

  @IBKR I’ve been a customer for 10 years. I’m quitting it n moving my pot over to another broker. Customer service sucks, they move your funds without your consent and are not forthcoming with the reasons for doing so

  Good grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!

  @IBKR 2/2, bc that needs SMS too. So I can't login, write a help ticket, fund my account bc of wrong SMS ( that's strange, bc I have updated my profile regularly. Try phoning, they say. Get a live agent. After a really long hold time I did get an agent but he could not 3/3
