  • bullbearlovech1 bullbearlovechild (@bullbearlovech1) reported

    @calvinfroedge @IBKR I opened an account with IBKR because my original was crashing too often. Now IBKR starts crashing as well. Seems that the only reliable solution is to use maybe 3 different brokers, so that you can still act even when 2 of them are not available.

  • srudeepk Srudeep KATAMREDDY (@srudeepk) reported

    @IBKR I still cant login, 2 factor SMS authentication code is still not received to be able to login.

  • JamesMi93525948 JayTrades (@JamesMi93525948) reported

    @IBKR How about, at a bare minimum, you guys make more of an effort to contact your clients directly to explain what the problem is? Sounds reasonable, send out a mass email since many of us can't even connect to client services. It's more responsible than a tweet.

  • rayman17990453 ray man (@rayman17990453) reported

    @IBKR cannot receive SMS, WTF is going on?

  • calvinfroedge calvinfroedge (@calvinfroedge) reported

    @StonkTonk @IBKR Has been down all morning

  • EVipTrading EVip Trading - Electric Vehicle Investor Portfolio (@EVipTrading) reported

    @IBKR Anyone asking for compensation, get real, obviously they’re never going to pay a single penny. If brokerages started giving compensation for every outage, they would be out of business within a year. As for commissions though, time to get on par with the competition I think. 🆓

  • TamirTiko2110 Tamir (@TamirTiko2110) reported

    $IBKR @IBKR Still Down ,,,, unF*****believable

  • NtcRick Liverbird 6️⃣✖️🏆UCL (@NtcRick) reported

    @IBKR Poor IT support!!!!!! you said restored but no one can enter the system with security code. Is that restored? What a disaster!!!!!

  • trishulshetty2 Trishul Shetty (@trishulshetty2) reported

    @IBKR This is a conspiracy to let the institutional index funds buy Tesla while our systems are down. The market has been super volatile and your systems crash. GREAT

  • billchen80 BCE (@billchen80) reported

    @IBKR wow, it's so laggy even though the connection is back. Took 2 min to simply flip from one tab to another. Anyone else having similar issue?
