    @super509219312 @IBKR The first was a platform update. The did a beta update and TWS stopped communicating with outside documents. The solution was to switch to the stable platform, which I did. Problem solved. Annoying but no concerns

    @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

  • Jinuuku121844
    Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported

    @IBKR To clarify: the application has been stuck since March 23 due to a known wizard bug on IBKR's end. March 25 was when Live Chat confirmed the issue and promised same-day resolution, which never happened.

    .@IBKR what happened with leverage ETFs order. I see that suddenly I have started getting error that I don’t have permission to trade this type of securities. Whereas I am trading leveraged ETFs since last six years without any issues except today.

    @IBKR hi, I have a disability support pension and I would like to do trading through you but your platform makes it near impossible and I would hate to think I would have to report you to the a Triple C for discrimination due to income. Perhaps we can work something out

    Just keep $AMC above $1 until shorts crack, that's it, that's all you have to do. @IBKR showed me 11112.2 Bil shares traded volume today. The glitch better have my money, that's all I'm saying. ABOVE ONE DOLLAR. I like that discount, count me in. The Box Office will bring $$$$$$$

    I have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.

    @joemccann @IBKR IBKR has surprisingly good API support for a boomer product

  • HalifaxDC
    DC (@HalifaxDC) reported

    @speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR I think I know why it might have happened to me. There was some kind of form about API Authentication that I was supposed to sign when I logged into the Client Portal a couple of days ago. I was in a hurry, so I passed over it, figured I'd do it later. Apparently, that might have been enough. The worst thing is, for some reason, they cancelled my Stop Loss on the live trade that I was in, but didn't cancel the trade itself (let that one sink in). Luckily, the trade went in my direction a bit, so I was no worse for wear. I still stayed on the phone, on hold, after that, because I was going to give them an earful ... but at the 2.5 hour mark of being on hold, I threw in the towel and hung up.

    @IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.

    @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!!!!

    @dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Deleting tweets after a photo shop error is definitely not a red flag at all. Totally definitely legit.

  • BankTheTrade
    Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported

    @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 @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 Hello @ibkr ... I have a new phone and a new phone number. It has been impossible to speak to anyone due to the lack of IB key and I have tried live chat, email, phonecall, and feedback report, but nothing works. How do I get in touch with someone regarding this. Please help!!!!

    @one_foothurdle @IBKR That’s comforting. Thank you. I was not able to place the trades again when cancellation happened. Support was not reachable. Later I got email saying it was a technical issue on their end.
