    @obeserverji @IBKR Champ, the main difference comes in as far as costs are concerned. BSE through its banking partners is able to bring down remittance costs.

    @TERM31740965 @IBKR The worst bit is they block retail and they buy greedy ***** xx

    @IBKR I don't HAVE any money, mostly bc I have been f'd over by a family member AND nobody will help me get away from them

  • hangman13us Mr. Philosopher (@hangman13us) reported

    @TheGameGod7 @IBKR Bad... I believe they will be on discount and have great upside value... Anyway...

  • touryanick touryanick (@touryanick) reported

    @IBKR Sure, not responding to customer support enquiries (several and more than a month) gives you the confidence that IBKR is the way to go.. Sorry, but no...

  • StopManny nobody. (@StopManny) reported

    @PuffsChz @IBKR Tradingview is your best bet. But yeah, no problem, Take care.

  • ZgaTur ZgaTu (@ZgaTur) reported

    @IBKR you are the market leader and that is why I use you. but I'm really upset that I can't buy stocks on the Moscow Stock Exchange or $POLY traded in London. the investor bears the risk himself .... so where the hell is the problem ??

  • JBuoze JayB (@JBuoze) reported

    @SaadQur17320079 @IBKR I have multiple brokers so no problem for me but it shows they are preparing for the volatility

  • OliverSchubert5 Oliver_Schubert💜 (@OliverSchubert5) reported

    @IBKR I can see that TWS disconnects the connection from my mobile-phone automatically wich seems to be created by itself in the process of 2F but the same doesn't seems to happen if I'm connecting to the web client. Please help. 2/2.

  • R2_Lambert Rafael Lambert (@R2_Lambert) reported

    @IBKR Can you fix your canadian TSX quotes. Orders and quotes have not been working for the past 30 minutes

  • TheGameGod7 TheGameGod (@TheGameGod7) reported

    @MariaKappatou @hangman13us @IBKR that’s absurd. You don’t know me and you’re completely wrong. Behind your account you are a person who has come to twitter to support the murder of innocents. I am against all war. Peace is the answer. Check your conscience. Stop being brainwashed, Stop being Evil

  • Gurke06 Gurke (@Gurke06) reported

    @IBKR Hi. I tried to call the European numbers for support to access my account and none of the numbers work. Can you assist me on how to contact you?

  • SSSimonDiamond Ukraine started it first. 🇺🇲 (@SSSimonDiamond) reported

    @AdlinLing @IBKR At least we have Indian VP. Nothing we can do. Mine works fine. Maybe they do it to you on purpose. I hear AA and Asians have a lot of IB issues.. Too obvious to be coincidence... But who knows. Putin is trying to sabotage traders in normal business hours .

  • HML_Compounder HML_Compounder (@HML_Compounder) reported

    @PeterPa05631503 @theretailbull @IBKR 77.8% allowable drawdown, but you should dig into the calcs yourself on IBKR before doing anything like this. Also note I simplified and assumed the 25% maintenance margin was static, but they can increase it (was 37.5% in late 2020 before US election), even without warning.

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR its ok, im your customer, and i only use your service to DRS my gme shares

  • MariaKappatou Maria Kappatou (@MariaKappatou) reported

    @TheGameGod7 @hangman13us @IBKR No problem, if your country pays the same price for the countries has bombed over the years.

  • Parimal15131972 Parimal Patel (@Parimal15131972) reported

    @IBKR Tried logging but says maintenance on the way....

  • Elena95012540 The owner's wife invests (@Elena95012540) reported

    @Stocktake0 @IBKR This should be a network or system problem

  • DarinHarper Darin Harper (@DarinHarper) reported

    That proves the brokers are worried @IBKR Chairman Peterffy is saying we will all go to zero... He also said his customer is more sophisiticated than "those who rely on relief checks" WOW Gee wonder why @CNBC brought him on to talk about "memes" #AMC #GME #ShortAndDistort

  • NetparM NetparM (@NetparM) reported

    @IBKR you need to fix snapshot feature on TWS. It can't auto-pop even when all data subscriptions are turned off. You are cheating your clients. I will not place another trade via @ibkr tws until this is fixed.

  • GabrielKara1 Gabriel Kara (@GabrielKara1) reported

    @IBKR The money is BROKEN. That means all price signals are BROKEN. You can’t rely on any historical data to help you. You either see what’s happening, do the work, buy #btc and move it to self custody ASAP. Or you slowly bleed out your life’s work/savings and wonder what happened

  • f_tremblay Frédéric Tremblay (@f_tremblay) reported

    @Questrade @IBKR I already have a margin account with you. Are there are maintenance fees for a TFSA?

  • the__sheet Peter Connor (@the__sheet) reported

    @IBKR which broker has ****** customer service? IBKR

  • cbucca41 Bucca (@cbucca41) reported

    @Katniss_2012 @SaraEisen @IBKR I can't help but think he absolutely knows this is a powder keg ready to explode and doesn't want to- or even cant- pay out his investors when it does. So he chose to spread FUD to try and get apes to paper hand. But it's not working. #TinFoilHat #SorryNotSorry

  • Krishna94532457 Krishna (@Krishna94532457) reported

    @IBKR Watchlists are not appearing in Trader workstation desktop platform. This issue is there from today morning. It was fine till Friday.

  • d_a_r_k_VILLE DARK (@d_a_r_k_VILLE) reported

    @IBKR indicated: Error downloading the Java runtime envionment, please check your internet conection and start setup again.

  • DaleOHays Dale Hays (@DaleOHays) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR_TI - Arggggh! Once again, they were supposed to be done with 'System Maintenance' by 6:00 PM - 6 hours later everything is hosed - can't even login to the portal, can't leave messages. Poor technical performance once again . . .

  • Jonq616 Jon Q (@Jonq616) reported

    @cbucca41 @SaraEisen @IBKR That could be it. That and he is apart of the broken system that makes them tons of money. Might not be able to do much but tell people what the banks and govt tell him too. I.e. get us to sell and push the narrative we are gonna lose.

  • collide_z P I I\I G (@collide_z) reported

    @IBKR Can you please fix "You are not connected to the brokerage system (You may be logged in on another platform). The displayed portfolio and market data are delayed.. Reason: Unable to authenticate" ASAP. It's 20 mins that I try now, no: I'm not logged in on another platform. TY
