-
Bastiat Knew (@surveyforyou) reportedHey @IBKR how can you be so good at executions and soooooo bad at pretty much everything else?
-
LiliAna (@Terranatura4) reported@IBKR you are not answering phone calls login is imposible! No chat available with real answers . I need a live person for my boss
-
Andrea (@Andrea79983493) reported@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?!
-
Violet (@belfort0609) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR I told them to go **** themselves in the email closing my account. Never going back. Their building janitor can run their ops desk better than every keyboard monkey on there combined.
-
miracle-dan (@yunyuntian) reported@IBKR IBKR, I am a refugee and I want to support you, but you use address verification to shut me out.
-
Mark Meyer (@MarkMeyerBuilds) reportedI 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.
-
The EV Hunter (@LastGambler_777) reported@IBKR I do not recommend IB, terrible costumer service. Just look how they answer people on the comment section here. I have a position for several years due to a short on a company that did a merger that they never close and refuse to allow a cashout.
-
Samuel (@sam_smms) reportedHello @IBKR Can you explain what caused that issue? That problem is still where I made a deposit usdc today, but the amount is hold for a day
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@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.
-
biotech_moo$e (@biotech_moose) reported@DrakeMEMENah @nakedjockman @IBKR I don't believe retails only own 58.99% of the float, it's inferred from self-reported tute data. Brokers never report retail $AMC holdings which allows ongoing fraud. IBKR Robinhood & other platforms continue to loan retail shares (that's part of the problem).
-
Atul Sinha (@5131b69341dc4dc) reported@IBKR Sir I am a account holder of IBKR ,but despite several attempts I am unable to sign tax information document. I have forgotten how is have written my name initially .can you help,I am unable to add funds .

Chop City² (@chopcity_da_2nd) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR Damn...

Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Worst is anything automation. They are lunatics with that front

Strategic Degen (@StrategicDegen) reportedI lost about $5k yesterday due to liquidation. I tried moving $5k to @IBKR, but it failed despite having cash in my checking account. I don’t blame anyone; this is part of the game. Losing $5k after locking in $65k gains last month is insignificant. I always ensure I have enough buying power and SMA. My mistake was opening a large $HIVE.NE short put that eroded most of my buying power as collateral. Even though it will only use half of that collateral for margin maintenance, it used full cost as requirement until assignment. Was it risky? Maybe I was set to lock in $5k from that play yesterday if the price didn’t drop. The lesson is to avoid selling short puts that erode buying power. Buying shares is better on margin. Next week, I’ll have more buying power to buy back $EOSE, average down on $HIVE, and buy $KEEL (hopefully below $5 when Asia gets crushed Sunday and overnight due to leverage). I optimized my tax lot for $EOSE to ensure as part of that liquidation, it took out shares that had gains instead of FiFO or LILO. This way I work around wash sale if I buy back shares within the next 30 days.
-
Marco (@marcoaam95) reported@IBKR It's been 2 months I requested a modification of my name and other data in the platform and didn't receive any response. That's not serious, how do you expect me to transfer a large amount of funds if customer support is inexistent?
-
Adaxelo (@RoiSinge) reported@IBKR take note . Please update your clients accordingly . You are too slow in this implementation, robinhood, webull, and others are ending PDT rule this week !
-
Sam 🇨🇦 (@CanadasFukd) reported@IBKR $10.25 Commission for 10 call options. $10 per 1000 shares of ETF's WTF?
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.
-
M🅰️rbles (@Marbles6) reported@ASTS_SpaceMob I'm not worried. Launch in around 2 weeks. I can take 10% hit. The only people who benefit from selling are the enemy shorts. MoC is up, available shares to short are down by 75% with @IBKR. Only way we go down is if someone wants to buy at a lower price - propably significantly more than you paid yourself. Dont sell, price goes up. It really is that simple.
-
🅰️LB🅰️ 📈📉 (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedThere are hundreds of incredibly annoxing things about @IBKR TWS but the worst is that you always have to add implied vols to option chains and watchlists because they dont save. Anyone found a way round this ? 🙏
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR Terrible service, perhaps the worst. I've had countless glitches and had my account locked before too.
-
The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reportedWhen you reflect on the very poor customer support offered by @IBKR, the endless software glitches, and the that they don't even bother to produce a well designed app for the iPad--consider this: the company has enormous cash on its balance sheet. It could fix it all anytime.
-
Supernova (@supernovagab) reported@berniethebutler @citrini @IBKR is the only solution in europe
-
Smart Investor (@ranking_smart) reported@IBKR Can someone in your team support France answer us ? You are unreachable in any way of contact (website, phone..)
-
BestVoyages (@best_voyages) reported@ChizaramNelo @IBKR Most day traders lose money. I don't want to be in that group. So I'm more of a swing trader - taking my time and watching for trends and opportunities. They should really teach this stuff in school, but teachers themselves are typically very bad with money anyway.
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reportedOn the @IBKR institutional Client Services line, an India call center handles my security issues. It takes >2 hours to work through my 2FA issues. On the @IBKR retail Client Services line, I speak to a US person and it takes less than 15 minutes to work through the SAME ISSUES.
-
