Chop City² (@chopcity_da_2nd) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR Damn...
-
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Worst is anything automation. They are lunatics with that front
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported@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.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@Terranatura4 @IBKR @IBKR used to have the best service, but they've been on a terrible decline over the last 2 years. I called because I was having an issue, and they told me there is no one to speak to by phone that I must file a ticket on the app. I did so, and it says it could take weeks for a response to the matter. Weeks?!

Jim Baranello (@BaranelloJim) reported@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.

FuHua (@F0HuazzZ) reported@IBKR no problem
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@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.
-
Olivier (@flukigero) reported@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*)
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@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.
-
STACKDOE (@STACKDOE) reported@IBKR by far one of the worst ui is ancient its 2026 ! mobile app made to make you lose money... not sure who even gave it the green light. just awful on so many levels.
-
Odysseus | phylax.systems (@odysseas_eth) reported@cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR too bad the IBKR M&A guys are probably not on x
-
Another oil and gas tourist (@oilgastourist) reportedDear @IBKR I don't give a **** about the SpaceX IPO, please, stop the spam, how many times do I have to delete the notifications????
-
Jeff (@jmclarty) reportedHappy 19-year customer of @IBKR here. This is the first feature WS rolled out where I'd consider moving all 6 of my accounts. Let me know an ETA for when you can ship this, I'd rather not move.
-
Varun Takkar (@varuntakkar01) reportedI 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
-
Andrea (@Andrea79983493) reported@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?!
-
Bobby Plewniak (@BoBbyPleWniaK) reported@jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose
-
James Butler (@jbutlersg) reported@IBKR you guys have the worst most painful sign up process. Even just sent an email to support and even that came up showing an error. Why is it so difficult?
-
Addy Potler (@addypotler) reported@IBKR **** your opportunities. Stay in your damn third world countries.
-
abxx (@abdullah_717) reported@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
-
Lynda Holt (@travelynrose) reported@IBKR I expected better quality from you.
-
Capital Helmut 69 (@FranklinBobMor1) reported@coinbase is such a piece of garbage, this happens on a regular basis, especially when you try to send crypto elsewhere. Can you imagine @IBKR or @Fidelity ever being down even once? Even if they were, they have customer service numbers you can call, unlike Clownbase. F these guys.
-
Em. At. (@EmAt48652737) reported@IBKR So you guys are playing accounts liquidation, customers cannot transfer money between own accounts in order to cover margins, since transfer page is not working. I am going to fill a complain to CBI
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@kiantrades @discord_support Yes, Discord and @IBKR both terrible services for traders. My rant for the day. Lol
-
Otunba ₿ (@OgbeiEdward) reported@IBKR @IBKR I deposited funds during an account application that was subsequently declined. I have raised a support ticket, sent emails, and sent DMs. Over a week later, no response and no refund. I expect a regulated institution to do better than this. Please resolve this urgently.
-
M🅰️rbles (@Marbles6) reported@ASTS_SpaceMob I'm not worried. Launch in around 2 weeks. I can take 10% hit. The only people who benefit from selling are the enemy shorts. MoC is up, available shares to short are down by 75% with @IBKR. Only way we go down is if someone wants to buy at a lower price - propably significantly more than you paid yourself. Dont sell, price goes up. It really is that simple.
-
S Sanzhi Kobzhanov (@Sanji_vals) reported@IBKR amazing trade terminal and fundamentals explorer! loving IB TWS, but if you lose you phone, the only way to restore your access to your account is to call them via phone and verify. no other options. customer support chat is only available for someone who logged in but you can't do that if your phone is stolen. they could have verified clients via google meet or Skype, but no, you have to call directly.
-
Adaxelo (@RoiSinge) reported@IBKR take note . Please update your clients accordingly . You are too slow in this implementation, robinhood, webull, and others are ending PDT rule this week !
-
Sam 🇨🇦 (@CanadasFukd) reported@IBKR $10.25 Commission for 10 call options. $10 per 1000 shares of ETF's WTF?
-
Davide Morcelli EU (@Davide_Morcelli) reported@IBKR run one of the best trading platforms in the world and one of the more embarrassing support desks attached to it. Almost 10 days of silence on a routine ISA request, after a cheerful "we'll revert soon." The bar is on the floor.
-
Garry Walker (@GarryWalker) reported@IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.
