-
Guru (@ZainGuru4) reported@IBKR How to get that. I am a customer and haven’t got any interest on my cash balance. I think that asterisk mark is where the devil is
-
QuantCat (@justquantcat) reported@IBKR please fix, I’ve been having it for months now
-
Cluseau Investments (@blondesnmoney) reportedEver since IBKR made the font slightly more green the market has gone to ****. @IBKR please fix this.
-
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported@super509219312 @IBKR The first was a platform update. The did a beta update and TWS stopped communicating with outside documents. The solution was to switch to the stable platform, which I did. Problem solved. Annoying but no concerns
-
Chipaway (@WaRidgway1) reported@TheTechInvest @IBKR Lost over 30k on options lately, only doing sureish bets now lol; although in saying that did good last year, so can’t complain
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Fix the desktop installer for linux please
-
0xW 🍌 (@0xWwwwwwww) reported@stoneymonster @TradingThomas3 Cause IBKR is ****. They know their data is wrong (for the past 15+ years), and they don't give a damn. @IBKR
-
Arno (@arnoblits) reported@CharlesSchwab @IBKR I have gone through your standard support channels before, and the result is always a deflection of accountability back onto my local hardware. The issue is not my machine's optimization; it is the fundamental architectural bottleneck of your legacy Java-based platform.
-
One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported@IBKR Thx for your reply, but this was a week ago. 😬 This was a first technical issue in a long time, so no hard feeling, but would have liked a much swifter response in the app,this took several hours and that is just too long.
-
BlackjackGod (@blackjack_god) reported@IBKR 24 hour access sounds like edge until you price 3 things: carry, margin calls, and overnight gaps. More table hours only help if your read survives the next open.
-
Panzer_valkyrie (@PanzerValkyrie) reported@DebraG_Robins @IBKR I used mine a few hours ago m everything was fine , I use the web page on ipad. I have the app. but don’t use that. I have occasionally had issues seeing portfolio in past but refreshing usually sorted , once I had to logout and in again.
-
Forward Capital (UK) Limited (@Forward_Capital) reportedThere have been issues connecting to @IBKR using @tradingview for over a week and no confirmed date for resolving the issue. Can you confirm what is going on?
-
Cotednq (@Dougcotefx) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Deleting tweets after a photo shop error is definitely not a red flag at all. Totally definitely legit.
-
Stan (@xbc9stazj) reportedAfter 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
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR And there is even no way to get this escalated to a senior ops executive. One of the most ineffective ops process and response team and never expected this from @IBKR I am on the verge of closing down the account
-
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me
-
Ethics (@ethics3606) reportedI have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
-
TrendTrader (@TrendTrader_US) reported@IBKR Your customer service is lacking compared to Fidelity and Scwab. Why do you restrict IRAs from trading $BNO, $CPER, $MPLX … when the other two don’t? Your customer ssrvice never follows thru to resolve these issues despite promising to do so. #noaccountability
-
Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported@IBKR The worst customer service EVER! I started an application on Thursday 3/19 and I already hate you. Was denied trading permission for futures on a cash account. Nobody can tell me why I was denied or what the requirements to trade futures are.
-
Debra Robinson (@DebraG_Robins) reportedAnybody else having issues with their IBKR account and viewing their portfolios? @IBKR
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Your desktop software's Linux installer is broken.
-
Adi (@adi_baradwaj) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has surprisingly good API support for a boomer product
-
Cypher3d (@RealityCypher) reported@IBKR has the worst customer support I've seen for any product/service I've ever used in my entire life. It's honestly breathtaking...
-
Keeping it real (@shelterfrmstorn) reported@IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.
-
Treize (@TreizeKushrena2) reported@assface_burner @IBKR $hood is a joke, won’t let you trade with unsettled funds when volatility is elevated like today. Ask me how I know lol. Its slow as hell, has terrible fills. IBKR fills instantly, clearly the superior brokerage
-
Bitget Support (@BitgetSupport) reported@yedior @GracyBitget @IBKR Please elaborate further on your concern or you may send us a direct message to properly address the issue.
-
Nitin Raysoni (@NRaysoni) reported@IBKR am from india mumbai my application is midway can i have any email id of indian customer care where i can explain what they need My name is Name middle surname Ur software counts middle name 1st letter only so ckyc is stuck Account no-U****4454
-
alanxyz (@alanxyz129) reportedInteractive Brokers seems to have lost my deposit. They already had my bank details and names but the customer services insist on asking me to provide proof of transfer again, otherwise they won't look into it. Is it strange? @IBKR @IBKR_Europe
-
Mark Bratt 🔻🔻🔻 (@MarkBratt924939) reported@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I don’t, but if I were a ****** capitalist I would own physical goods such as property, precious metal, guns, non taxable physical coin collection. Paper is coming to an end and US Tbonds are going down to CIPS and destruction of the petrodollar.
