  @IBKR Yeah I checked and I’m connected to the internet…… Your quick support page doesn’t have anything related to blank screen after submitting application.

  @ilia_el_pro @MaxCarozza @IBKR I had the same issue. Seems like they are scrambling to fill the book.

  @IBKR I put a ticket in FOUR DAYS AGO and still nothing back. Why ******** should I keep using a platform where I can’t get an answer to a question in a reasonable amount of time?!

  @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.

  @vijucat @IBKR Absolute garbage platform. (Service too.) I've given up. Use all 3rd party tools. Data, metrics, reporting. Even the API is meh. @IBKR is a awful. Actively looking for alternatives. I simply cannot believe their stock price. If investors knew how ****** they are...my god.

  @IBKR you expect people to respond to account messages in message center while banning people from accessing the message center, amazing. How many system issues you receive and ignore every day?

  @blahajcapital @IBKR Im guessing they dont have enough onshore margin posted to cover their clients positions...there are no exchange problems....its bullshit

  @IBKR IBKR, I am a refugee and I want to support you, but you use address verification to shut me out.

  kingran (@KingranYama) reported 20 minutes ago

  The AI customer support agents give you useless canned information. These AI agents do not understand the nuances of the qst, which is okay, but refusing to pass the qst to human agents in not okay. @IBKR I pay you guys serious money in commission. Can I get some help?

  $ASTS shorts are not going away! Shares available on @IBKR was 2m an hour or so ago, now down to 1.28m! News of next launch needed to restore credibility and to 🔥 the Shorts!

  Sidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).

  @IBKR It is truly the worst. A total pos.

  @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).

  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 29 minutes ago

  @IBKR Your charts are freezing and I am in the middle of a trade. Your software is truly the worst around. Absolute garbage. Anyone not using IB that wants to consider it should runaway. Terrible custmer service and software that acts and feels like it is from the early ninties.

• 
  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 39 minutes ago

  @IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.

  Hello @IBKR Can you explain what caused that issue? That problem is still where I made a deposit usdc today, but the amount is hold for a day

  The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported 51 minutes ago

  @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

  Mark Meyer (@MarkMeyerBuilds) reported 51 minutes ago

  I deposited 5k into @IBKR to test out my trading bot being they have API available.. I have already withdrew the money back out for two reasons. One, the gateway portal seems to have been created in 1998. Awful UI. Second, and the most pertinent was the death by auth codes.

• 
  FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported 53 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.

  @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.

  @IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!

  @ross_w__ @IBKR I’m stuck on that **** show !! Currently down 500k and counting **** I wish I thought about using Kosdaq as an hedge to flatten out when they failed to take my orders yesterday night
