@IBKR Gee I can’t imagine how this could be terrible.
Mark Bratt 🔻🔻🔻 (@MarkBratt924939) reported 48 seconds ago
@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I don’t, but if I were a ****** capitalist I would own physical goods such as property, precious metal, guns, non taxable physical coin collection. Paper is coming to an end and US Tbonds are going down to CIPS and destruction of the petrodollar.

@IBKR your service is so poor and delayed. You holding my funds for 5 days until I can use it pr evev Withdraw. Its very very poor service. Never using @IBKR again. Have seen this on 3 occations. Never again.
Maria Mednikova (@MednikovaM64181) reported 8 minutes ago
Tried to use @IBKR app to buy some QQQ and it was such a bad experience. This is my first time investing so it was overwhelmingly complicated. I put in an application at @public but haven't heard anything back. Their app looks so much easier!
Nikita G. 🎲 (@Gorev111) reported 13 minutes ago
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.

@IBKR How far the Dollar is going down?
DarthKenobi (@plantbasedlc) reported 16 minutes ago
@IBKR @IBKR I already contacted them - and they already contacted IBKR - the issue is IBKR won’t expose automation API service to them so they can integrate. Can you submit product request?
Clem Chambers (@ClemChambers) reported 19 minutes ago
@IBKR @bclund 1/10 customer support 10/10 platform. Spend money on humans.

@IBKR Fix the desktop installer for linux please
John Morina-If you build it they will come (@JohnMorina2) reported 20 minutes ago
@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
Empress Capital (@Empress_Cap) reported 21 minutes ago
@bclund @IBKR Everyone has had these same thoughts multiple times with $IBKR for one issue or another. You'll be back. They're so much better

@IBKR Be careful of stop orders duplication problems. -5% in my chase never refunded.

@IBKR You found this out, I'm not in trouble

@IBKR support is AI slop nonsense. Nobody responds sensibly. Utter garbage.
RemGat (@RicardoMGarcia5) reported 34 minutes ago
Beware that if you run into a problem at @IBKR you may find yourself completely abandoned. I have a claim open for 5 months now for a dividend they did not process, now I have posted a claim for the lack of response, nobody is responding to any of those. Horrible service!

@buyerofponzi @IBKR Terrible service, perhaps the worst. I've had countless glitches and had my account locked before too.

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

Chukwuebuka🇳🇬 (@ChukwuRN) reported 41 minutes ago
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.
DMVentures (@D_M_Ventures) reported 43 minutes ago
@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR I never had a problem with mine. It is a segregated account, so you can only wire to your own account. If you don’t include your username it takes longer to show on the platform tho
GardinerIslandCapital (@GardinerIsland) reported 48 minutes ago
c'mon .@IBKR .... $ARLP went ex-*** on 60 cents today it closed at $25.55 yesterday and being at $25.10 today is green 15 cents , not red 45 cents Bloomberg also saying same error fix ya crappy systems
Cashflow King (@cashflow_king94) reported 48 minutes ago
Just over a year since I switched to @IBKR and went all in on growth stocks... Portfolio is ahead of the S&P 500 by $23,273. That's 11.72% outperformance. Ahead of the NASDAQ 100 by $9,283. 4.37% outperformance. Beating both major indices with 9 stocks and a system. A year ago people told me I was mad... Too concentrated, too risky - Should just buy an index fund and forget about it. Well the index fund would have made me $23k less. That's a car, That's a holiday, That's months of deposits into the portfolio. I'm doing it with fewer stocks, less complexity, Less stress. Quality companies the world can't function without... I'm not Against Index funds but most people think single stocks are risky.... Mixture of both would work well for majority of people in my opinion. Sometimes the "risky" approach is actually the smart one. How's your portfolio doing??
Ethics (@ethics3606) reported 59 minutes ago
I have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.
