    My current long stocks in order of portfolio allocation %: $IREN $EOSE $NUAI $KRKNF $CIFR $OSCR $DGXX $POET I have mostly diversified because it makes me able to buy more IREN. @IBKR concentration house rules are the worst.

    @joemccann @IBKR @ibkr has a horrible user-interface, i decided to stop using it and pay premium extra cost elsewhere where user interface is much more friendly. call me stupid but I have seen zero improvement by ibkr in the last 7 years - they do not even try

    @SixSigmaCapital @IBKR I never had a problem with mine. It is a segregated account, so you can only wire to your own account. If you don’t include your username it takes longer to show on the platform tho

    I recently opened an IBKR Darwin account @IBKR @Darwinexchange - i was told the process would take 1 day I got my approval and tried to access the services but hit with “ineligible” to add funds. Darwin have told me it’s in IBKR’s hands and they cannot help me. It’s been 10 days now and nobody can help me. Pretty shocking experience so far

    @IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!

    Hey @IBKR ! Why is it that your stock newsfeed in the individual tickers is so bad? It shows completely irrelevant information 95% of the time. And if it's relevant judging from the headline it doesnt work half the time when you click on it. This is really annoying.

    @trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why don’t you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.

    Interactive Brokers seems to have lost my deposit. They already had my bank details and names but the customer services insist on asking me to provide proof of transfer again, otherwise they won't look into it. Is it strange? @IBKR @IBKR_Europe

    @IBKR hey yo, settled DRS transfer not received after 10 business days, ticket system unresponsive. Phone call got hung up, all tickets are AI, no customer service. Like WTF, guys stay a mile from this broker if you can

    @IBKR Please inbox me for more information in and if you're willing to help me fix this issue you shouldn't (discriminate) due to financial capacity and I don't use the word discriminate lightly.

    @renatodelarento @Trading212 @IBKR IBKR: interesting info. But 4me, I can't digest all the incoming on the investment front for myself. That's why I'm willing to pay someone (they get a cut of my investment) who is more trained than myself. My training: fight fires, b a paramedic, fix auto body's, & not worry.

    @IBKR @bclund Login to IBK - nothing but problems when using Portal for the Lap Top. Requires ID, Password, then an SMS Code (which always worked_ but now takes you to a page that requires scanning a QR Code on your phone using the phone APP. Nothing but HELL. Missed trades, timed put while trying to update information, and on and on. Tried talking to HELP but could not even understand the individual claiming to speak English (no offence to the person). If you cannot communicate, then what is the purpose of HELP? So now logging in through PORTAL requires both the lap top and a cell phone APP to use the lap top. RE: Response from IBCS at 24-Jul-2025 Dear Mr. ______, This is a follow up to our conversation from earlier today. Your request has been approved and your account can continue to use SMS text as the two factor authentication method. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Kind regards, Michael M IBKR Client Services ****The result was it never worked, still doesn't, and have to use TWO pieces of hardware and two different software. Once I get to sell out of the shares I have through IBK I am gone!!

    @IBKR if you think I'm going to shut up. If you ignore me you've got a whole different problem. I will not back down or shut up until some responses found and a resolve of this issue is met

    @IBKR That hidden FX fee thing is the worst! I had no idea how much I was losing until I switched to IBKR. Such a game-changer for my US stock trades. 😩

    I want to like Interactive Brokers, I really do. Excellent rates on cash/margin. Theoretically, they should be a top broker, but they need to purge and replace their engineering department. Login issues today, poor site performance most other days. You had one job. @IBKR

    @joemccann @IBKR IBKR has pretty bad data imo. Even in their api they mention that it should not be relied upon or something like that.
