  @IBKR Your charts are freezing and I am in the middle of a trade. Your software is truly the worst around. Absolute garbage. Anyone not using IB that wants to consider it should runaway. Terrible custmer service and software that acts and feels like it is from the early ninties.

  @alexkingsays @AskRobinhood Rey. Same experience. I eventually moved everything to @IBKR and haven’t looked back. Brokerage for adults, and actual customer support when you need it.

  @IBKR your desktop app doesn’t work! Fix it FFS!

  Just got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.

  @IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.

  @IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.

  .@IBKR You guys are the worst. I set to sell my position with a limit and it passed that limit but no fill. I canceled it and made way lower limit but no sell. Tried many time with no fill. When the IV crashed I put a sell limit it got filled. So pathetic 🙄

  @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.

  @blondesnmoney as @IBKR number 1 influencer can you plz suggest they fix their web app while you're at it..

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

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction

  @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...

  I deposited 5k into @IBKR to test out my trading bot being they have API available.. I have already withdrew the money back out for two reasons. One, the gateway portal seems to have been created in 1998. Awful UI. Second, and the most pertinent was the death by auth codes.

  @tradingview your team desperately needs to patch the issue with constant and random sign outs from integrated brokers, specifically @IBKR. The connectivity is absurdly inconsistent and now your verification prompts have stopped working properly

  Jeff (@jmclarty) reported 40 minutes ago

  Happy 19-year customer of @IBKR here. This is the first feature WS rolled out where I'd consider moving all 6 of my accounts. Let me know an ETA for when you can ship this, I'd rather not move.

  @IBKR And what about the removal of PDT rules ? All brokers are removing it tomorrow. You are the worst broker ever, I am closing my account

  INTER (@Night34Blue) reported 43 minutes ago

  @IBKR Hello, I am trying to enable Options Trading Level 2 on my IBKR account in order to trade simple long calls and long puts on SPY. However, my request was rejected with the message saying that my financial profile does not meet the eligibility requirements. I would like to understand specifically what is causing the rejection and what exact requirements I need to update or meet in order to qualify for Options Level 2 trading permissions. Could you please review my account and advise me on the necessary steps to resolve this issue? Thank you.

  @IBKR Literally the worst broker imaginable. They block tickers now, they price cap anything remotely volatile, even large caps so you're stuck in a bad trade or can't enter a good one. This broker is anti-success. High fees and trading interference. Run from this broker.

  @TT_stocks_ @D3GSolutions @IBKR Schwab isnt bad. but they dont really let the digital penny stocks too much.

  @stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least

  @IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!

  @Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.

  @IBKR I expected better quality from you.

  TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported 53 minutes ago

  @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.

  Everybody is talking about the @RobinhoodApp MCP, but almost nobody is talking about @IBKR launching something similar. Interesting choice, though: @IBKR went with a ChatGPT app instead of an MCP server, so I can't actually use it in codex. Only in ChatGPT.

  I have to switch brokers @IBKR has some serious issues with their app. It's like 10x slower than any other brokerage to navigate to trade. Then stop limits don't even work on stocks with a penny spread it's bizarre
