  @IBKR @bull_jared39128 Hey IBKR, since you are responding on X now, how about addressing the issue I raised last Monday. Your 10.45.1 forced update broke the TWS RTD. No one from customer service will respond to my support ticket, no one responds to Facebook comment and no one responds to X

  @belfort0609 @buyerofponzi @IBKR I'm hearing this is an increasing problem. You will be better off elsewhere .. IBKR went from a top tier broker to a bottom tier real fast as far as I'm concerned.

  @IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.

  @DrakeMEMENah @nakedjockman @IBKR I don't believe retails only own 58.99% of the float, it's inferred from self-reported tute data. Brokers never report retail $AMC holdings which allows ongoing fraud. IBKR Robinhood & other platforms continue to loan retail shares (that's part of the problem).

  I will not be surprised if @RobinhoodApp @Wealthsimple @IBKR and a bunch of other brokerages crash down tomorrow at the launch of $SPCX IPO $HOOD $TSLA $SPCX

  I’ve never been so let down by the UI of any application in my life as I am by @IBKR . I’m serious. Every little tasks rains a parade of bugs. Just do the thing!

  @IBKR Hate to say it as an IBKR user but the platform is the absolute worst of any of the major retail brokers for active trading. Clunky and not intuitive. IBKR has great access to virtually all financial products and international markets but wish they would invest more time or energy on the platform itself. Looks like im not the only one who feels this way.

  @grok @IBKR This feels like vaporware. wtf?

  @buyerofponzi @IBKR They grew too fast and their support has always been the weakest link

  @STACKDOE @IBKR When did you last use it and what's your specific issue? It's way better than e.g. Revolut. My only issue is it can be slow at times, especially with updating totals but is quite flexible. Alerts need work for sure.

  William W. Nicholas (@Alohayall_) reported 32 minutes ago

  @IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.

  Wow, @IBKR is giving me so much trouble. Considering closing with them to move somewhere else. Can’t deal with the hassle anymore.

  @IBKR still utterly screwing me. If $*** tanks on earnings today I will be broken...

  @IBKR why it’s impossible to get help from IBkr It tries to keep taking me to The FAQ questions Brother if I really wanted that I would used some AI to know

  @solana @calilyliu Tokenized. Cool. @IBKR has it too - regulated, insured, no seed phrase (to loose). Liquidity on Nasdaq ≈ no problem

  @IBKR after updating your app. I lost all my account with my $MSTR shares in it. HELP. PLEASE.

• 
  FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported 40 minutes ago

  @IBKR Literally the worst broker imaginable. They block tickers now, they price cap anything remotely volatile, even large caps so you're stuck in a bad trade or can't enter a good one. This broker is anti-success. High fees and trading interference. Run from this broker.

  John Martin (@jminvesting) reported 42 minutes ago

  I really want to use @IBKR and twice now I've tried to fund and set up an account. Their insistence on you having your phone nearby to check their mobile app for some code every 10 minutes has caused me to give up each time. Awful experience and poor security design.

  @alexkingsays @AskRobinhood Rey. Same experience. I eventually moved everything to @IBKR and haven’t looked back. Brokerage for adults, and actual customer support when you need it.

  There are hundreds of incredibly annoxing things about @IBKR TWS but the worst is that you always have to add implied vols to option chains and watchlists because they dont save. Anyone found a way round this ? 🙏

  @IBKR $10.25 Commission for 10 call options. $10 per 1000 shares of ETF's WTF?

  @stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least

  @bclund @IBKR that's your fault.... STUPID!!!

  TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported 58 minutes ago

  @IBKR Called customer service which was an even worse experience. Rep refused to remove the 3 trades in 5 days limit even though it’s been well over 5 days. She said I’d get a letter re: PDT rules but couldn’t even say how long until those letter go out. She refused to allow me to speak to someone in a decision making capacity and when I asked to have the situation escalated she told me I had to go online and start a ticked…. You guys are a joke and I hope lots of people see this.
