    @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.

  • Jinuuku121844

    @IBKR To clarify: the application has been stuck since March 23 due to a known wizard bug on IBKR's end. March 25 was when Live Chat confirmed the issue and promised same-day resolution, which never happened.

    @bclund @IBKR It could help you in a legitimate situation. I've had half my gdx liquidated on a down day b4

    @marketswithmags @TradingLucid Why Prop firms make it so hard for people to cash out money they earned? @IBKR doesn’t need you to cool down.

    @IBKR your platform sucks and your customer service is as bad as Spirit Airlines. I have been on hold for 35 minutes calling from overseas so the cost will be extremely expensive. You suck, always have and the reason I hate using your platform

    @super509219312 @IBKR The first was a platform update. The did a beta update and TWS stopped communicating with outside documents. The solution was to switch to the stable platform, which I did. Problem solved. Annoying but no concerns

  • ThinkFinance999
    Paulo Santos (@ThinkFinance999) reported

    @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Typically, no. You might exceeding the number of KRW you need to buy, and if you're in Europe, new stupid regulation (for which Europe is famous) won't let you buy even 1 KRW in excess if you have any margin anywhere. Reduce how many KRW you're buying and try again.

    Chukwuebuka🇳🇬 (@ChukwuRN) reported

    You can't even open an account with @IBKR because I am a Nigerian. One of the worst feelings I have ever felt this evening. I have no idea why this happened but it is bad. They need to change this policy about Nigeria.

    @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.

    ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude are terrible at trading. $REI intelligence is not an LLM, study @rei_labs. It has already been proven profitable by @EclipticaOS. I’m confident that the new version, Rei Core 0.5a, will deliver strong results and significant profits on @IBKR in this experiment.

    Is @IBKR Flex Query web service down?

  • GeodesRock49
    Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported

    @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!!

    @joemccann @IBKR It is not clean. It is some of the worst data you can use. Good luck. 🫡

    @IBKR you have terrible cutomer service. If someone is denied a product and can't reapply for 30 days then how and when exactly are people supposed to get a chance to submit additional information for consideration? Your reps on the phone are so frustratingly stupid.

    @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

    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

  • Pikachu21M
    The 'investor' (@Pikachu21M) reported

    @IBKR Not being able to see the performance of an asset when we are changing the time-frame, and letting it fix on the intraday only is so stupid guys

    @IBKR Can I have your mail ? I tried to find it but can’t access any mail or client service on your website as soon as you canceled my application @IBKR Please could you answer

    One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported

    @IBKR Thx for your reply, but this was a week ago. 😬 This was a first technical issue in a long time, so no hard feeling, but would have liked a much swifter response in the app,this took several hours and that is just too long.

    Hey @IBKR any customer support or no such thing in your company?

    @IBKR I have recently opened an account with you. I simply do not receive security code over text or phone call. Therefore, cannot login. Whenever I try calling your support helpline, it always says it is busy and I never get an agent on call. Pathetic service. #ibkr

    prathap chandra (@prathap_moola) reported

    @IBKR's customer support in india is literally non existent. nobody is willing to help and resolve my queries. Kindly help enable permission for trading and override the cooling period. Also there is no acknowledgement or confirmation of money transfer as well

  • Alex_Steger_
    Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported

    @super509219312 @IBKR This is obviously a different level of concern and seems to show that they're not being careful about their updates. In the 7yrs of using them, most issues have been the annoying types, not mini heart attack types For me, if there's another major type of issue, then I'm moving
