  The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported 2 minutes ago

  @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

  @MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.

  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

  @AshknKW @IBKR Bro I sold a lot of things 15 minutes before the crash I would go crazy now if I didn't.

  @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.

  @IBKR you expect people to respond to account messages in message center while banning people from accessing the message center, amazing. How many system issues you receive and ignore every day?

  @IBKR And HORRIFIC SLIPPAGE that crushes P&L, with slow customer service in submitting trade busts to CBOE that costs clients money. I'm mad at you.

  Rob Gray (@robmgray76) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Therichardralph @IBKR The FX fees are higher than T212 and the interest paid on cash is less but it works well. I pay £5.99 per month to bring the FX fees down a bit.

  @ross_w__ @IBKR I’m stuck on that **** show !! Currently down 500k and counting **** I wish I thought about using Kosdaq as an hedge to flatten out when they failed to take my orders yesterday night

  Hey @TradingView and @IBKR 👋 I’ve been trying to connect IBKR account to TradingView to trade directly from the platform, but the connection keeps failing. Is there currently a known issue with the IBKR integration? Thanks for the help.

  @JoachimMo1985 @IBKR I'm not sure about issues at IBKR specifically, but having worked for a few brokers, I can tell you that the tech department usually comes third or fourth in priority. These organizations are typically led by marketing, followed by corporate roles (risk management, strategy).

  @IBKR It takes more than 10 days to open account in Israel and still waiting . This is level of service of the 80'.

  @IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2

  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 52 minutes ago

  Dear @IBKR it's 2026 and you need to update and do some serious work to your IBKR mobile app for people who actively trade. When I call in people act as if nobody even uses it which isn't true. Get that thing like TWS and give TOS a run for its damn money.

  @IBKR lol this hits different when you're already down 40% on some random altcoin, ibkr dashboard just feels too clean compared to watching charts on your phone at 3am
