@IBKR IB Desktop is down, nothing is loading at the moment, any info on that?
subst8nc3 (@subst8nce) reported 3 minutes ago
@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon A company so big and successful, that it went to the trouble of implementing Advanced Charts but cant provide a decent backend to actually load them in the application. Get some real architects, seriously.

Néstor Chávez (@nestdot_) reported 6 minutes ago
@IBKR @IBKRespanol I’ve been trying to open an account for months but keep getting stuck at phone verification. Sometimes the system even says “Your application has been cancelled.” Emails go unanswered and support tickets are unavailable. Please assist urgently.

@FarmerJoe0x @IBKR Platform stability matters more than features when the market's hot
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported 9 minutes ago
@IBKR Your India customer care and operations are pathetic. For every funds deposit, the customer care asks additional docs for proof of deposit and this is despite following all the guidelines per your process while transferring funds.
Carl Malartre (@Malartre) reported 11 minutes ago
Everyday I resent @IBKR's desktop app team using Java for the UI. It's great for them and terrible for all users. From the login to maximizing the app to the slowest column reorder in the world, it all sucks.
Hyperbolic Discounter (@HyperbolicDisco) reported 12 minutes ago
@SettleKurt @senzu_capital @IBKR The issue seems to have been resolved overnight.
Dr.Ötker 99%FI 💸 (@dr_otker) reported 12 minutes ago
Last night @IBKR systems glitched AGAIN and cancelled all my outstanding orders, 17 in total. I just spent more than half an hour resubmitting them thanks to a poor user interface and slow servers. This has happened before a few times and I believe will happen again. So could @IBKR at least offer a way to easily restore the cancelled orders?
Reuben Walker (@bwalkers212) reported 13 minutes ago
@IBKR Locked out of account. Software & telephone of no help. Artificial Intelligence consulted. Nothing works.

@joemccann @IBKR Does it support 1 min candles ?
Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported 17 minutes ago
@IBKR To clarify: the application has been stuck since March 23 due to a known wizard bug on IBKR's end. March 25 was when Live Chat confirmed the issue and promised same-day resolution, which never happened.

@mtrad203 @IBKR I can't log in either. Trader Workstation or mobile app.... Servers seem to be down.

@IBKR Warning to anyone considering switching to IBKR will allow you to deposit funds but be aware new accounts will not get approved for trading with no explanation. Here's the best part...you cant even send the funds back to your existing broker so just watch the market while they hold your money. No explanation, no customer support, just tough ****.
Guru (@ZainGuru4) reported 30 minutes ago
@IBKR How to get that. I am a customer and haven’t got any interest on my cash balance. I think that asterisk mark is where the devil is

Amit Gandhi (@amitpg) reported 36 minutes ago
@JasonAppel10 @IBKR All brokers have some system issues from time to time ! So, in that respect you can't guarantee 100% reliability anywhere. Still to find a broker that beats IBKR all things taken into account.
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported 36 minutes ago
@IBKR Why is TWS doing the following all of a sudden? Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time. Aggravating as hell.

@IBKR Hello @ibkr ... I have a new phone and a new phone number. It has been impossible to speak to anyone due to the lack of IB key and I have tried live chat, email, phonecall, and feedback report, but nothing works. How do I get in touch with someone regarding this. Please help!!!!
Jason Appel (@JasonAppel10) reported 43 minutes ago
@IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR

@JoachimMo1985 @IBKR @IBKR_Europe I did not get order canceled but I was not able to submit entry orders last night. Got no trading permission error.

@kallervoinen @IBKR I don't know I was on a call with 2 other traders and we are all on different continents. We all got "Invalid order" System Rejected order right around the bottom. The problem arise around 10:15 -10:30. We called Support and Trading Desk they provided 0 help and not even cover for the guys that were short. We ended up spamming the Keys until we could get out. I woke up 4 hours later and it's still not working Unacceptable for one of the most legit and biggest broker out there. Clients losing 100's of millions without any way to manage

@IBKR and @ibkr spent a total of 30 minutes trying to get someone on the line--on 2 dif days. No one answers. wtf? youve been around for decades!!!
Weeble Rothschild (@noruserious) reported 49 minutes ago
@IBKR how has your service become just like the crapification of everything? trying out your IBKR Desktop. Spent 2+ hours configuring the preferences to where i wanted them. even did a "save as" to make sure I had a copy of the zip file. Now, all that work has disappeared.

@IBKR I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me
