    .@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.

    @KairosPraxis Hate @IBKR with a passion. Most horrid application process ive ever used, they port you to some papertrade version of the app and then you're trapped there. Ongoing applications dissapear, ever action takes multiple clicks, pages, dead time. Errors everywhere in app andbrowser🤯

    @IBKR Please inbox me for more information in and if you're willing to help me fix this issue you shouldn't (discriminate) due to financial capacity and I don't use the word discriminate lightly.

    @IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?

    After around 1 year of investing I transferred all my positions from @DEGIRO to @IBKR for risk exposure I had gone from 81.5K€ to 160K€ but the inflation prints and the overall bearishness cycle slowly landed me around ~113K€ Around that time I decided to load up on $RKLB warrants because I loved the company so much (yes, there were $RKLB warrants at some point) These contracts - I didn’t know it at the time - had pretty simple but specific rules : If the warrants traded higher than $10 for an extended period of time (~2 weeks I think) the company could redeem them, no matter what the current price was. And man did they redeem them The stock was trading at $8 when they did so, offering us the option to buy the stock at the warrant strike price, $11.5, making them basically worthless on a cash basis I got demolished. I freaked out so bad I didn’t where to hide, for the first time as a market participant, I wanted to cry When I discovered there was a cashless exercice option that gave ~0.3 share per warrant, I was actually relieved. But the damage to my portfolio was severe regardless, basically a 70% wipeout on that massive position I didn’t know it at the time but that event was the trigger for a highway to 14K€ When I said in my quoted tweet that it’s going to be hard, this is what I’m referring to

    @IBKR You have a substandard platform and your support staff is basicslly nonexistent. I would advise people to stay away from IB. If you run into a situation and need help you will not get it.

    @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.

    @joemccann @IBKR IBKR has pretty bad data imo. Even in their api they mention that it should not be relied upon or something like that.

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!

    @IBKR I’ve called & ask for the permission, & there is no follow through. These are things I can trade in my other brokerage accounts. If you don’t fix this problem, so your customers CAN’T trade oil via $USO or $BNO, particularly in light of Iran war, you are going to lose customers.

    @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.

    @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.
