DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported@IBKR No solution for my problem so far. The Windows app doesn't go through the opening process in any of my computers in 2 different adresses. My friends told me they have the same problem. What is happening???
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@IBKR Your support is TRASH! I already sent about 5 requests weeks, some month ago. Still no answer. I dont think I will ever get one. And there is no other way to resolve my issues with IBKR. So there is no solution for my problems, while IBKR stock is skyrocketing. Shame on you!
-
ndao poenya (@ndaopoenya_) reported@IBKR Hello IBKR Support Team, I'm from Indonesia and need your help accessing my IBKR account. I'm unable to set up Two-Factor Authentication (IBKR Mobile Authentication). When I try to log in, I can't complete the security verification process, so I'm locked out of my account.
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@IBKR is down during trading hours. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and unable to log in to their account?
-
Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reportedAfter @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).

HappyHKL (@HappyHkL1) reported@IBKR It’s been half an hour and the system is STILL down! Everyone on X/social media is furious right now. Users are taking huge losses because of your outage—how are you going to compensate us for this? Fix this NOW! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Jiri Vatka (@NSonic101) reported@IBKR where s your human support or at least support e-mail address in the app or web????????!!
-
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.

Kevin Ang (@fstorm28) reported@keoneHD @IBKR Poor infrastructure simply scales problems faster. Good infrastructure scales opportunity.
-
. (@outrasparada) reportedI just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, **** @IBKR You are SO full of **** I'm going to Webull.
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I have not been able to contact a living person at customer support all week. Your phone system tells you to go to the website. No customer support.
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIf a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.
-
John Mason (@johnkmason) reportedSidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).
-
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?
-
Mellie Mel (@MellieMelvc58) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Go read recent YouTube comments and hear Chris Camillo describing how terrible a user experience he has with your app. You give truly terrible customer experiences, and yet so many of us want to use your services for international trades. Level up!!
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedOn @IBKR buy an options contract nothing wild just a put on a 100 lot of ZS. Contract was trading at .01 for the bid and .27 for the ask. I put the midway .14 literally smack in the middle. Contract instantly fills. For .21 lol like wtf man.

Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR @sumeet06 Waste of time, nobody over there get back to you customer service is dead.
-
Javi Cg (@CJ02023589) reported@IBKR "‘Not urgency" must be your customer service mantra. It takes months just to handle a simple complaint.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedMy 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.

-
Biswayan Bhandari (@BiswayanBhanda1) reported@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...
