    @IBKR You're kidding me. In light of what the majority of knowledgable people around the planet are saying must be the second problem source to go (after thermal coal), you are pushing *this line? I guess a coin profit is as addictive as (non-coal) coke. Good luck with your treatment

  • stonking2021 MacGrubes (@stonking2021) reported

    @R_DaneelSeldon @IBKR Twr desktop would not load after 10 minutes managed to connect on mobile but incredibly slow with frequent blank screens and non responsive loads. Using webull for market data and queing limit orders in ibkr. Ridiculous.

  • paytz82 Matt (@paytz82) reported

    @IBKR why do I continually get the error message. “Error communicating with the server” during peak market times? Starting to get frustrated here. Won’t load buy/sell pages it even instrument details.

  • seaoflite litesea (@seaoflite) reported

    @ryanwrights + support everywhere. Someday we won't need old world bridges, but for now $LTC reaches ppl where they are, recently, at paypal, venmo, bitpay, verifone, newegg & amc, while @IBKR let's their higher than robinhood net worth clients get a taste & grayscale eyes spot etf conversion

  • jffkey Le Meow'ata (@jffkey) reported

    @degiroeu you guys dont even have any manual submission of this document to customer service how is that? I guess I will go with @IBKR

  • WazooWrangler Wazoo_Wrangler (@WazooWrangler) reported

    @IBKR fix your ****, been down over an hour now.

  • Aisneach Colette (@Aisneach) reported

    @Brian_Walton1 @IBKR Awful service.

  • LeeSoffel LeeS (@LeeSoffel) reported

    @IBKR you are the absolute worst trading platform I’ve ever used. Every time I bring up the option order window for a stock like $AMZN, $TSLA, $SPY or basically any stock my entire computer freezes. To make option trades I have to log out, use my phone, them log back in. WTF?!?

  • paytz82 Matt (@paytz82) reported

    @IBKR honestly guys you need to fix this.

  • Quaalude714 Charles Oliver (@Quaalude714) reported

    @IBKR a governmental ban on a certain cryptos in favor of required use of CBDCs Pretty bad When Your Phone can land your friends in Jail Spying on everyone all the time . If everything is Digital we might as well be in Prison .You can trade Silver or Gold in Private not Public Ledger

  • WazooWrangler Wazoo_Wrangler (@WazooWrangler) reported

    @IBKR Fix your ****, cannot login.

  • ChezzaQuotes Chezza Quotes (@ChezzaQuotes) reported

    @IBKR It is better to trade with an experienced and reputable Bitfinex. There are attractive conditions such as cyber protection, analytical data, support and so on.

  • pc4tw pc4 (@pc4tw) reported

    @XRPLion1 @IBKR Trying to understand your thoughts. I looked at the Disclosures. Are you referring to the "the minimum is subject to a cap of 1% of trade value"? The way I read that, it was trying to keep the fees down to $1.75 per trade minimum? Thanks.

  • Freelan88936816 Freelance (@Freelan88936816) reported

    @IBKR would you like to fix your formula of daily p&l

  • datawhisky Datawhisky (@datawhisky) reported

    @IBKR your server performance is very slow today. I can’t seem to load anything on the app or desktop.

  • midnightc66 joneski (@midnightc66) reported

    @IBKR Put some effort into your support, you’d think you would take that part of your business seriously. It’s a joke

  • NicolaCairnX NicolaCairnX (@NicolaCairnX) reported

    @IBKR If only I could work out how to make a trade. Your platform is so unintuitive and ditto the support, that I'm considering withdrawing my cash.

  • madhuonline Madhu Rajput (मधु राजपूत) (@madhuonline) reported

    @IBKR Australia down since last 2 days. Pathetic #broker why we don’t have @TDAmeritrade in Australia?

  • InsaneMedicChef Godzilla’sBrain (@InsaneMedicChef) reported

    @microbikinis3 @IBKR Let’s break that down, where in the law is crypto illegal? Take the top 20 by market cap and point out who has the ulterior motive. Your last statement is just objectively false. I also fail to see any facts you pointed out. I think you should educate yourself.

  • oblako1234 Oblako (@oblako1234) reported

    @Brian_Walton1 @IBKR That's awful service! Should switch to another more reliable broker!

  • Freelan88936816 Freelance (@Freelan88936816) reported

    what a stupid formula you use for daily p&l. it always is wrong for new positions @IBKR

  • JBTradez J_Trades (@JBTradez) reported

    @IBKR 5 days and still no response what customer service is this? #ibkr

  • R_DaneelSeldon R. Daneel Seldon (@R_DaneelSeldon) reported

    @IBKR can you fix your damn platform? Down money because literally no way to close position as NOTHING IS WORKING. Desktop and mobile is completely down.

  • Brian_Walton1 Brian Walton (@Brian_Walton1) reported

    I’m happy to take my business elsewhere. Does anyone have suggestions for a broker with reliable custy service/tech stack(not that @IBKR’s is) & @ least minimally functional business/trade support. All 👂s at this point.

  • iknownoothing Wheelie Bin Capital LLC (@iknownoothing) reported

    @IBKR #ibkr has to be the worst platform ever built how are u still in business. Buggy all morning cost me $$$

  • microbigs Microbigs (@microbigs) reported

    @IBKR Too bad you don't answer dms :(

  • derdehalf Koen Tobback (@derdehalf) reported

    @markusdavidson @saxobank @IBKR It's terrible (too).

  • fadeithardz h0tchicksonly (@fadeithardz) reported

    $PHUN almost 1 million shares available to short on @IBKR and “security not available to short” on @Questrade ? **** you.

  • CarloCuzzy Cuz003 (@CarloCuzzy) reported

    @IBKR why are there connection issues in your app - not enough servers ? Time to change brokers ?

  • lebesguefunds Lebesgue Funds (@lebesguefunds) reported

    @dmuthuk 2/2 It doesn’t seem to be possible to buy shares if one is not accredited or an institutional investor (!!!). For example, @IBKR doesn’t allow me to request permissions to buy any stock on NSE. I guess I need to open an account with a local broker. Help & comments welcome!
