ilia (@ilia_el_pro) reported@TheFlowHorse can i ask why when i trade on @IBKR i tried after hours etc and even if there is trade on nasdaq route at that bid price my bid orders is not execute even with 1% lower price or is like lagging sometimes to like that while hyperliquid/binance perps dont have this issue

Ramy Gerges (@ramyggerges) reported@IBKR has great features but customer support is abysmal!
-
TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported@IBKR Called customer service which was an even worse experience. Rep refused to remove the 3 trades in 5 days limit even though it’s been well over 5 days. She said I’d get a letter re: PDT rules but couldn’t even say how long until those letter go out. She refused to allow me to speak to someone in a decision making capacity and when I asked to have the situation escalated she told me I had to go online and start a ticked…. You guys are a joke and I hope lots of people see this.

Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?

🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@PhenixInvesting @skyquake_1 @IBKR Its possible to reduce positions in Kospi futures and options now. It wasnt yesterday, wasnt given any explanation other than they were aware there was a problem.
-

-

-
Lili Fee (@booklilifee) reported@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.

Aaron J. Fentress (@AaronJFentress) reported@IBKR Boston might come out okay down the road but in no way did they win this trade.
-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch.

M T (@mtaaafm) reported@IBKR your making life very hard for internationals to start a 1k till 100k challenge.. been trying to get in contact with someone to help for over a month now, and no response. I funded the account and placed every requirement. And still facing this problem.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedGood grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!
-
Biswayan Bhandari (@BiswayanBhanda1) reported@IBKR I can't open my IBKR account. It’s been inactive for 6 months and I've been trying to reopen it for the last 2 months. Why is the interface not user-friendly? I've also been contacting customer support for a month, but their responses aren't helpful...
-
Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reportedAfter @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).

Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR @sumeet06 Waste of time, nobody over there get back to you customer service is dead.
-
