  @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)

  @IBKR You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you

  IBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.

  @IBKR Thanks but this doesn't and won't work. I don't have my account info so when I call, it rejects me. Why is there no way to fix this I have money in my account but I can't access it

  @IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.

  @IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.

  Hey @IBKR how can you be so good at executions and soooooo bad at pretty much everything else?

  🅰️LB🅰️ 📈📉 (@ALBACapMgmt) reported 24 minutes ago

  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 ? 🙏

  How do people deal with @IBKR? Literally 50% of the time I click any button, the page loads for 3–5 seconds and then just… doesn’t load at all (I get some error message)!

  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 31 minutes ago

  @IBKR No I'm moving to another brokerage. It's 2026 I'm not submitting web tickets when I'm trading $100k positions. You guys can pick up a phone like every other normal brokerage. Take some tips from Schwab and you guys need better customer service, app UX and really everything.

  Ten Beers (@NBee007) reported 31 minutes ago

  I thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading

  @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Double the work, double the chance for error. Isnt tech great?

  DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported 46 minutes ago

  @IBKR today I have tried to open TWS in 3 different PCs and it stalls at the "reading layout configuration" screen. I uninstalled the latest version of the software and installed the stable version and had the exact same results. Never had this problem before. I accessed your website and there is no record of such problem currently.

  @TheFlowHorse can i ask why when i trade on @IBKR i tried after hours etc and even if there is trade on nasdaq route at that bid price my bid orders is not execute even with 1% lower price or is like lagging sometimes to like that while hyperliquid/binance perps dont have this issue

  @JoachimMo1985 @IBKR I'm not sure about issues at IBKR specifically, but having worked for a few brokers, I can tell you that the tech department usually comes third or fourth in priority. These organizations are typically led by marketing, followed by corporate roles (risk management, strategy).

  @optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)
