    @financewithjoe @IBKR Possibly on low value the Fx fees being higher Vs trade cost might not be so much of an issue.

    Doug Campbell (@TradeandMoney) reported

    @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.

    @mm_options @IBKR Server-side outage, not your fault. Did you check the IBKR status page or try a different device?

    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.

    @IBKR you expect people to respond to account messages in message center while banning people from accessing the message center, amazing. How many system issues you receive and ignore every day?

    @IBKR It takes more than 10 days to open account in Israel and still waiting . This is level of service of the 80'.

    Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported

    I have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC

    I love how @IBKR still have PDT enabled like sorry I want to pay myself 10K daily? Also isn’t this note a ******* rule anymore? @IBKR wtf can you guys renew my ****? Today? Like before 3PM????

    @IBKR The system is completely down and we can't trade! The downtime is causing real financial losses. How will IBKR compensate affected users for this outage? Please address this immediately! 🤬😤😤😤😤😤

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    IBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.

  • go_mask

    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.

    @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.

    @CarolAn64246005 @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

    Why is @IBKR down ? Can’t login!!!

  • Yishai__Cohen
    Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reported

    After @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).

    @monad @IBKR Monad has so much bullish news, and I don't care about the price. I don't understand why. Mon is falling in price again. What's the problem, dear Monad, why so! Can't you raise the price of Mon

    @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

  • saptarshi_tweet
    Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported

    @IBKR do you ever solve problems. When faced with a question your customer service reps just leave the chat room. Your tech does not work (docusign process, image upload on chat etc.) And your reps have no intention to solve anything.

  • BaElenhodl
    ₿a ElenHODL (@BaElenhodl) reported

    @IBKR you want to margin call me without notifying me? On a recorded call you said you sent me a notification. I’m telling you I didn’t get one. Had I gotten one, I would have put more liquid in my account! **** you! I can’t win. Everyone wants my money! **** you

    @IBKR what are you going to do about my account that still has money inside but able to sign in or reset, stupid thing is, I need to sign in to submit a ticket. Phone support not useful, they say unable to find my account. I have screenshots of me transferring money in the account

    @WebullGlobal < @IBKR Trying to track real-time market structure or apply quantitative modeling is impossible when the platform holds the data hostage. Here is exactly what is happening under the hood. How Your Location Determines Routing: Your residential address dictates your backend routing. Because you aren't in New York, Webull actually routes your crypto execution and custody through Coinbase, not Bakkt.Bakkt (which holds a specific virtual currency license from the New York State Department of Financial Services) is used almost exclusively for residents of New York, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Your chart and watchlist discrepancies are being pulled directly from Coinbase's liquidity pool, not a New York firm. The 4-Hour Candle Bottleneck: You cannot properly scalp momentum if the chart refuses to paint the current price action.Webull's charting software is designed for retail bandwidth efficiency, not professional-grade tick data. On higher timeframes like the 4-hour, the platform often relies on server-side OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) snapshots. Instead of pushing live, tick-by-tick data to build the active candle dynamically, the UI saves processing power by waiting until the 4-hour interval officially closes before rendering the final candle. It completely breaks any real-time structural analysis. Does IBKR Have This Issue? No. Interactive Brokers is built for direct market access, and their Trader Workstation (TWS) streams data differently.Dynamic Charting: TWS streams professional-grade tick data across all timeframes. Your 4-hour candle will build, wick, and fluctuate dynamically in real-time. Different Routing: IBKR does not use Coinbase or Bakkt. They route crypto execution through Paxos Trust Company and Zero Hash. Transparent Pricing: Instead of baking a wide spread into the price, IBKR charges a flat 0.12% to 0.18% commission with no hidden markups. Transitioning your active trading operations to a direct-access broker with an integrated data streaming hub will immediately solve these retail-level UI bottlenecks

    @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!
