@GoForGrubes2 @IBKR Has never been my main account and would never transfer enough there to find out if it saves me the 2hr wait time to get through to customer service. I absolutely detest companies like this.

@IBKR I think there are some connection issues currently happening. I can't get any data within Trader Workstation. Been on the line with customer service for quite a while....I can't access data within the app as well.

@AskeladdenTX @IBKR Would love to hear if there's an answer to this. IBKR customer service is a nightmare, nobody knows how to trade a stock, let alone use their platform.

@AllVentured @IBKR Ha! Yeah, they're terrible. Cheap, but terrible. As my account has grown, I'm getting faster response times but I don't waste time on the phone or live chat. I just submit a message thru the secure message center and hope they respond.

@Gabe_Trader_ES Think or Swim is really solid. But whatever you do don't use interactive brokers. They are douche bags @IBKR (**** you)

@IBKR I've been locked out of my Account Management for over two weeks. I've had no luck with Tech Support. I have called daily; I am constantly told "it's being looked at". I'm afraid this is not working out. What does one need to do to get access to their account?? #IBKR #TWS

@GoForGrubes2 Wait... you were able to get through to IB customer service?! I honestly don't know why anyone uses @IBKR. They are the worst broker I have ever used.

@IBKR good morning. I'm attempting to retrieve my account login information but I have a new phone number and the retrieve login information page that sends the code keeps crashing. Can you help me out? Thanks!

@masterleos @ProfitsTaken @IBKR Yeah they do, and it took me couple of weeks due some procrastination problems but you’ll get approved in 1 Bussines day

@STXRBOY999 @IBKR is a much better choice than Webull for someone trading full time like you. Best execution quality.

Just today I’ve had my Google TV suddenly refuse to connect to Wi-Fi, my car Bluetooth suddenly refuse to connect to my phone, and @IBKR’s app completely broken due to API errors.

Does anyone have a contact at @IBKR who can solve issues? We are having a customer service experience from hell - restricted in trading a stock even though we provided the documentation they requested a week ago. And this is after escalating (our original ticket never answered).

A friend has an issue where IBKR wants to know origin of wealth and has blocked trading. He has provided proof but they are not accepting it. His income is 100% legit, no shady stuff going on. Not responding to his tickets now. @IBKR your customer service could be better

@Gorillionairess @IBKR Additional thought, perhaps try IBKR out. Put in a token amount, use it for #optionstrading then if happy overall, begin the transfer process for stocks etc. They should be more than willing / able to help if you do.

Hey @IBKR , I like your brokerage overall. But sometimes you have absurd naming conventions for options and futures that have trouble integrating with industry standard trading S/W. The fact that I have to hyphenate -USD for future contracts is absurd. Just saying.

@IBKR What about fixing your quote bug? Future tickers are frozen for hours in a daily basis. May be time to switch, this bug has been around for years?!

@IBKR I’ve been an accountant for 35 years, & your reports are the worst I have ever seen. They are crammed with useless information, no transaction statement, just gibberish. They look like they were designed by a 3 year old. I won’t let a client near you!

@VanVianney Crazy biz. IIRC they defended a trademark for the word 'gin' in the Phillipines because their flagship product was synonymous with gin in the country. Thats like Johnnie Walker trademarking 'scotch'. I would buy, but @IBKR doesn't support trading in the Phillipines last I checked
