  Michael Blau (@blauyourmind) reported 41 seconds 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 You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you

  @cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR too bad the IBKR M&A guys are probably not on x

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

  @IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.

  Inadvertently transferred funds to @IBKR @thomaspeterffy in the US without even having an account, and now your website/customer care is so confusing, I can't even get an option to request refund/reversal. How do I contact you?

  $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!

  @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.

  @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?!

  @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

  @buyerofponzi @IBKR They do suck bad I removed all my funds.

  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????

  @ThinkFinance999 @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Similar problem in the US, not just Europe. Must be SK's rules for foreigners holding KRW in brokerage accounts. LLM explained one solution to me.

  @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR do you save before logging out? (File > Save Layout) is local JTS folder read-only? uncheck that so settings are saved also File > Global Configuration > Lock and Exit "Use/store settings on server" checked for backing up to IBKR servers

  @IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.

  @stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least

  @jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose

  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 ? 🙏

  On the @IBKR institutional Client Services line, an India call center handles my security issues. It takes >2 hours to work through my 2FA issues. On the @IBKR retail Client Services line, I speak to a US person and it takes less than 15 minutes to work through the SAME ISSUES.

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

  Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reported 43 minutes ago

  @IBKR Really need to work on the UI and also if the website is going to be so complicated you need to make accessing live support much less difficult

• 
  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 47 minutes ago

  I have to switch brokers @IBKR has some serious issues with their app. It's like 10x slower than any other brokerage to navigate to trade. Then stop limits don't even work on stocks with a penny spread it's bizarre

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Change your God damn pdt rules. What makes you so slow in such a simple action!!! ？？？ A bunch of stupid IT do you really need so long?

  @RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue

  @renatodelarento @Trading212 @IBKR IBKR: interesting info. But 4me, I can't digest all the incoming on the investment front for myself. That's why I'm willing to pay someone (they get a cut of my investment) who is more trained than myself. My training: fight fires, b a paramedic, fix auto body's, & not worry.

  @ChizaramNelo Yeah support is subpar @IBKR They will help but not the level of WealthSimple.

  @IBKR after updating your app. I lost all my account with my $MSTR shares in it. HELP. PLEASE.

  @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.
