  @jeremiahrogers @IBKR is horrible and their customer service absolutely sucks! Tried them and couldn’t wait to get my funds out - which they held for a stupid amount of time.

  @NotA_Bull you guys have been posting so much FUD all weekend I opened up @GodelTerminal and @IBKR expecting a slaughterhouse scene, and ... it's not that bad? And the $VIX is still relatively low at 15.27

  @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

  @IGcom @Therichardralph @IBKR Says the company whose platform is down at a crucial time of day as market opens in US. I would suggest looking at ii - they are a quality operation unlike IG. IG will just disappoint.

  @IBKR how about you stop that BULLSHIT of the PDT rulling that was over 2 fkng months ago. What a shame of a broker. **** you.

  @IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.

  @AshknKW @IBKR I'm having the same problem - suddenly can't log in.

  @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.

  @Therichardralph @IBKR There awful can’t buy anything decent takes ages to sell if you want to sell

  @IBKR the worst investment platform I’ve ever dealt with! Random rules that forcibly convert currencies, AI shoved down my throat even when I clearly said it was not helping and I needed someone to look into my issue! So yeah, taking my business somewhere else.

  @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.

  @keoneHD @IBKR Poor infrastructure simply scales problems faster. Good infrastructure scales opportunity.

  Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported 30 minutes ago

  @IBKR do you ever solve problems. When faced with a question your customer service reps just leave the chat room. Your tech does not work (docusign process, image upload on chat etc.) And your reps have no intention to solve anything.

  @Therichardralph @IBKR Hey, was thinking of opening an IBKR account for S&S ISA, do they support 24/5 trading like trading212? Searched online but getting mixed answers

  Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reported 32 minutes ago

  After @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).

  @_charles289 @IBKR no problems.

  @IBKR IBKR desktop Mac version is not loading the charts from last release you did, can you fix it?

• 
  Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported 35 minutes ago

  @IBKR 2/2, bc that needs SMS too. So I can't login, write a help ticket, fund my account bc of wrong SMS ( that's strange, bc I have updated my profile regularly. Try phoning, they say. Get a live agent. After a really long hold time I did get an agent but he could not 3/3

  @TT_stocks_ Right on! Looking to switch from @IBKR to @WebullGlobal How are you finding the change. IBKR is terrible these days.

  @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?

  @IBKR MCP support could make account workflows smoother.

  Good grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!

  @StateInterOffic @IBKR It's totally unacceptable. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

  @cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Only issue with IKBR is they won't accept partial ISA trsnsfers in. Has to be the full portfolio for any given year.
