Jatin Jani (@Jatin_S_Jani) reported@IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.
-
Markets & Mayhem (@Mayhem4Markets) reportedI'm going to vote that they add @IBKR support to @edgeful. 🦾 What other brokers would you want to see support for? 👇

Cashflow King (@cashflow_king94) reportedJust 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??

SGTano (@SG42353041) reported@IBKR @D3GSolutions The app us awful. I switched back to workstation still bad but better than the app.

Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@IBKR @bclund Login to IBK - nothing but problems when using Portal for the Lap Top. Requires ID, Password, then an SMS Code (which always worked_ but now takes you to a page that requires scanning a QR Code on your phone using the phone APP. Nothing but HELL. Missed trades, timed put while trying to update information, and on and on. Tried talking to HELP but could not even understand the individual claiming to speak English (no offence to the person). If you cannot communicate, then what is the purpose of HELP? So now logging in through PORTAL requires both the lap top and a cell phone APP to use the lap top. RE: Response from IBCS at 24-Jul-2025 Dear Mr. ______, This is a follow up to our conversation from earlier today. Your request has been approved and your account can continue to use SMS text as the two factor authentication method. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Kind regards, Michael M IBKR Client Services ****The result was it never worked, still doesn't, and have to use TWO pieces of hardware and two different software. Once I get to sell out of the shares I have through IBK I am gone!!

Ringiana (@Ringiana) reported@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.
-
kai (@kaiwondr) reported@aleabitoreddit @IBKR fix this
-
BlackjackGod (@blackjack_god) reported@IBKR 24 hour access sounds like edge until you price 3 things: carry, margin calls, and overnight gaps. More table hours only help if your read survives the next open.
-
Vj (@VJ_303) reported@IBKR Still you are looking HELPLESS in providing me direct contact number where I can call and clarify. That's why I am afraid to open account with #bkr as where I will contact after opening account if something big issues or fraud happened, ...my hard earned money go stucked???
-
Haddie (@Haddie168) reported@IBKR @bull_jared39128 Hey IBKR, since you are responding on X now, how about addressing the issue I raised last Monday. Your 10.45.1 forced update broke the TWS RTD. No one from customer service will respond to my support ticket, no one responds to Facebook comment and no one responds to X

Sparky Slims (@brothachucka) reported@IBKR is a garbage broker. I've been trying for 2 weeks to buy some international stocks and it continues to not work. Meanwhile I've had to watch my main pick go up 70%. I've reached out to support, wasn't helpful. Was told 2-4 weeks for a response on my followup ticket.
