    @IBKR serioulsy why do you signicantly changed the customer report settings?

    @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.

    @IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?

    After being a customer for 20+ years at @IBKR, I’m seriously considering changing brokers. Earlier this week, I got a margin call notice, which made no sense because my account is fully funded. Turns out it was tied to an old secondary account I created years ago to sweep in some non-marketable securities — you know, those dregs we’ve all held onto that technically went to zero but still somehow show up in the account. (Don’t lie, you’ve done it too.) Anyway, this account has sat idle for years, and for some reason it incurred a $12 charge, which pushed the zero-balance account into a margin call. I’ve tried contacting @IBKR numerous times about this, but if you know anything about IB, customer service is not the reason you use them. I even wired funds into the account to clear it. They show they received it, but I can’t find any record of it being credited, and I suspect it may have been applied to the wrong account. There was a time when it made sense to use Interactive Brokers because they had aggressive commissions and access to hard-to-trade issues. But nowadays, that advantage is mostly gone. I’m seriously wondering why I would stay with them when such a minuscule issue has turned into such a major pain in the ***.

    I have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.

    @tradingview your team desperately needs to patch the issue with constant and random sign outs from integrated brokers, specifically @IBKR. The connectivity is absurdly inconsistent and now your verification prompts have stopped working properly

    @IBKR @IBKR I already contacted them - and they already contacted IBKR - the issue is IBKR won’t expose automation API service to them so they can integrate. Can you submit product request?

    @dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Whop is the worst platform ever, they truly don't care about the customers at all, they are all about the commissions they get from the course sellers.

    @IBKR If I chose a timeframe on the chart, 1 month, 1 year, 5 years, I should see the percentage of progression during this period. Your stays fix on the daily percentage. It’s not a bug but your choice grok said

    @IBKR your platform sucks and your customer service is as bad as Spirit Airlines. I have been on hold for 35 minutes calling from overseas so the cost will be extremely expensive. You suck, always have and the reason I hate using your platform

    @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.

    @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.

    @IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.

    @STACKDOE @IBKR When did you last use it and what's your specific issue? It's way better than e.g. Revolut. My only issue is it can be slow at times, especially with updating totals but is quite flexible. Alerts need work for sure.
