    @defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!

  • Ramblin_Rebel13
    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

    @zxc68984008 @IBKR Low rates help, but leverage still magnifies mistakes. Read the margin rules, liquidation policy, and cash-rate eligibility before opening an account.

    @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!

    @IBKR Fix your fxxking app/platform. This is unacceptable during market hours

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

  • TT_stocks_
    The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic

  • DiChiarissimo

    @IBKR Do not ever use this ******* dogshit platform, not only will you not be able to trade anything, they lock your funds no matter the amount because obviously they got in trouble in thr past for money laudering because they are fat fuxking italian peices of ****, **** these people

  • RoninInvestors
    RoninTraders (@RoninInvestors) reported

    @Therichardralph @IBKR Hey, was thinking of opening an IBKR account for S&S ISA, do they support 24/5 trading like trading212? Searched online but getting mixed answers

    @algoflows @IBKR No service on this plane either!!

    @IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.

  • iamshraey_

    @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?

    @ravihanda @IBKR Does this mean IBKR account creations are basically frozen till they sort this out? wtf

  • gach51565

    @IBKR Hope you are not in companion with Interactive invest who are the worst scammers on earth.

  • iamshraey_
    Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported

    @IBKR I did that and out of frustration I have written here as they are asking to use my passport when passport is not in one of the options offered for Australia clearly documented in the ticket and screenshot I submitted. They only offer Australian drivers license and then on submission call id type invalid. The tech team on a call just mentions to try again rather than solving the issue and a musical chair game is going on between support and tech folks.

    @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

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

    @IBKR It took them 3 weeks to send help good job

  • Olde_Pharte
    RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported

    @IBKR Thanks but this doesn't and won't work. I don't have my account info so when I call, it rejects me. Why is there no way to fix this I have money in my account but I can't access it

    @IBKR how about you stop that BULLSHIT of the PDT rulling that was over 2 fkng months ago. What a shame of a broker. **** you.

    @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

    @IBKR during the registration you can pick a password that is longer than 40 characters. that breaks the login in the mobile app (probably truncated client-side) until you change your password to one that is less than 40 characters. please forward to your portal engineering team or whoever that can investigate

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your software is such a pos. It is not sending the notification to my phone for me to login. I cannot access my account. I tried logging in with the QR code and it shows page not found. I need access to my account. You are just the software in the market. Total garbage

    @IBKR plz fix your connection problem, the app crashed during trading time is ridiculous and unacceptable

  • TradeandMoney
    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.

    @IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.
