  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 2 minutes ago

  My goodness I can't wait to leave @IBKR now Friday and today always communication errors when trying to load the option chain and can't make a move. You guys absolutely suck and don't care a bit about your clients. Spare me the web ticket message you're about to drop.

  @IBKR I do not recommend IB, terrible costumer service. Just look how they answer people on the comment section here. I have a position for several years due to a short on a company that did a merger that they never close and refuse to allow a cashout.

  @IBKR I can't open my IBKR account. It’s been inactive for 6 months and I've been trying to reopen it for the last 2 months. Why is the interface not user-friendly? I've also been contacting customer support for a month, but their responses aren't helpful...

  @hanshaozi @IBKR I’m interested, too. @IBKR Would you at least address this issue publicly and state when do you plan on removing PDT rule??

• 
  赛博游牧武士道 (@wenchengwude) reported 18 minutes ago

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction

  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 ? 🙏

  @TT_stocks_ @D3GSolutions @IBKR Schwab isnt bad. but they dont really let the digital penny stocks too much.

  @IBKR what is wrong with your website? I set up my account for withdrawals and have sufficient funds. So WHY does the confirmation keep throwing an error? And why is there NOBODY to speak to?

  David Silva Smith (@DavidSilvaSmith) reported 27 minutes ago

  Ugh, calling @IBKR for the 13th time in 10 business days to try and resolve what I believe to be a simple issue 😡

  Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported 29 minutes ago

  @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.

  Andrea (@Andrea79983493) reported 30 minutes ago

  @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?!

  @monad @IBKR Monad has so much bullish news, and I don't care about the price. I don't understand why. Mon is falling in price again. What's the problem, dear Monad, why so! Can't you raise the price of Mon

  Jona (@JJLDoc) reported 36 minutes ago

  .@IBKR You guys are the worst. I set to sell my position with a limit and it passed that limit but no fill. I canceled it and made way lower limit but no sell. Tried many time with no fill. When the IV crashed I put a sell limit it got filled. So pathetic 🙄

  @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)

  @IBKR Authorization with the MCP server failed. You can check your credentials and permissions. If this persists, share this reference with support: "ofid_4cae1cb49557c937"

  Dear @IBKR I don't give a **** about the SpaceX IPO, please, stop the spam, how many times do I have to delete the notifications????

  Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported 43 minutes ago

  @vijucat @IBKR Bro I even have a "private" number for bespoke service. I call it, and then he calls the ******* real number which reaches a ******* call center in India... I'm ******* ded.

  @CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one

  @MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.

  @IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.

  Michael Blau (@blauyourmind) reported 52 minutes ago

  Everybody is talking about the @RobinhoodApp MCP, but almost nobody is talking about @IBKR launching something similar. Interesting choice, though: @IBKR went with a ChatGPT app instead of an MCP server, so I can't actually use it in codex. Only in ChatGPT.

  @IBKR your making life very hard for internationals to start a 1k till 100k challenge.. been trying to get in contact with someone to help for over a month now, and no response. I funded the account and placed every requirement. And still facing this problem.

  @defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!

  @Dilpree28887118 @IBKR A lot of distress and frustration. There's absolutely no reason for them to block my access to my accounts. It's unethical. The affected customers. They must be sued, and an ALERT must be issued to customers to avoid the BAD SERVICE and disrespect of this trap called ibkr.
