  • appplejack003 Abe Jackson (@appplejack003) reported

    @ravvles @IBKR Same thing happening. It's a stupid system. Why not link it to Google Authenticator? Probably more reliable.

  • curtisbowal Curtis Bowal (@curtisbowal) reported

    @IBKR Still can't login... Not sure how this qualifies as mostly recovered

  • Kirth_Gersen_1 Kirth_Gersen (@Kirth_Gersen_1) reported

    @IBKR Still can't login.

  • marketshortt Skalpz (@marketshortt) reported

    @IBKR 30 minutes more still can't login!!!! are you ******* going to fix this **** today!?!!?!!?

  • hoangbrian brian hoang (@hoangbrian) reported

    @IBKR Lesson in crisis management: come clean honestly and be truly remorseful. You guys have failed in both front: failed to communicate when problems first happened and now then lied about the resolution.

  • _133244 Little Prince (@_133244) reported

    @IBKR The issue occurred two hours before the trading hour. How long it takes to resolve your so called residual issue?

  • mattholden45 cryptocrap (@mattholden45) reported

    @IBKR still not working - i expect this in crypto not in stocks @IBKR #shitshow

  • MissSimpleNow Miss Simple (@MissSimpleNow) reported

    @IBKR Almost an hour later Since you have “fixed” it and still can’t login....

  • marketshortt Skalpz (@marketshortt) reported

    @IBKR that is a complete lie!!!! you ******* outsourced Pakistani pieces of ****! over 3 hours and I still can't login to my account!

  • Ag11Kro Krosch11 (@Ag11Kro) reported

    @oldarmy1 @FJ439 @IBKR I’m thinking of selling covered calls there on 50% , and buying them back down at 3.08. Daily looks like it really wants to form that inverse H&S before running back up. Do y’all see that or am I being wishful?

  • MichaelMChester Michael Chester (@MichaelMChester) reported

    @IBKR This is very bad. Why didn't you notify users at least by email? Why is there no information about the crash anywhere? Neither in the mobile app, nor in TWS? Why should I search for information about your breakdowns on Twitter?

  • heyitsyashu Yashu Sharma (@heyitsyashu) reported

    @IBKR 1 hr later: still not working

  • nycandre NYC Andre (@nycandre) reported

    @IBKR Hi - had issues in NYC from 7:00 am till 10:10 am, now mostly resolved. Suggesting for people not able to conned to use a VPN (I prefer Proton Mail/ VPN, paid, but free may work as well). Then connect to a NYC or UK location. The UK worked when all US didnt

  • chengslator Chengslate (@chengslator) reported

    @IBKR It's 12:40 can't login. Don't tell me you recovered.

  • ElTinchazo Martin Rodriguez (@ElTinchazo) reported

    @IBKR HURRY ******** UP!!!! WE ARE ALL LOSSING MONEY BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY

  • migugat Miguel Angel Gaton (@migugat) reported

    @IBKR "few residual issues"?? it's still impossible to connect.....

  • BuffettMunger Adam (@BuffettMunger) reported

    @IBKR Still cannot login and half the trading day now gone.

  • YorkiePooMama StreetSmart$💎🐾🇺🇸 (@YorkiePooMama) reported

    @IBKR The rudest customer service ever. Glad I stopped my bank transfer months ago.

  • robiifitz Robert Fitzpatrick (@robiifitz) reported

    @nycandre @IBKR Uk not working here

  • stonksgodowntoo flatirony (@stonksgodowntoo) reported

    @CyrusManz @IBKR Exactly my thought. I build resilient storage systems at scale for an internet company. There is no vendor, it’s all done in house with open source. And when we have a problem, we know how to fix it. It’s 2020, learn Ceph and ZFS.

  • Deister2694 Forrest Bondurant (@Deister2694) reported

    Brokerage accounts should have loss guarantees in place if you're not able to service your clients @IBKR #interactivebrokers @CNBCnow @markets

  • Karl_Regan Karl Regan (@Karl_Regan) reported

    @IBKR 3 hours after market open and STILL NOTHING?!?! WTF

  • appplejack003 Abe Jackson (@appplejack003) reported

    @IBKR Your SMS system sometimes gets stuck on "normal days" and the only way to make it work is to get "Voice" to get the code. Then only then, SMS service resumes working. WTF? It's been a year since this started happening and you IBKR mofos don't even care to fix this.

  • MissSimpleNow Miss Simple (@MissSimpleNow) reported

    @vikramaityad @vsankholkar1 @IBKR Really? Down For over 5 hours is normal?

  • WildAnimalinDC Wild Animal (@WildAnimalinDC) reported

    @IBKR can't even access the portal login page to complete authentication ............ how can #ibkr proclaim "mostly recovered"?!?!?!
