    Happy 19-year customer of @IBKR here. This is the first feature WS rolled out where I'd consider moving all 6 of my accounts. Let me know an ETA for when you can ship this, I'd rather not move.

    @IBKR what have you done to the desktop platform? Tracking trades has become a nightmare. Poor #customer service.

    @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Worst is anything automation. They are lunatics with that front

    @IBKR @bclund 1/10 customer support 10/10 platform. Spend money on humans.

  • Tradesetupsonly

    Wow, @IBKR is giving me so much trouble. Considering closing with them to move somewhere else. Can’t deal with the hassle anymore.

    @belfort0609 @buyerofponzi @IBKR I'm hearing this is an increasing problem. You will be better off elsewhere .. IBKR went from a top tier broker to a bottom tier real fast as far as I'm concerned.

    TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported

    @IBKR Called customer service which was an even worse experience. Rep refused to remove the 3 trades in 5 days limit even though it’s been well over 5 days. She said I’d get a letter re: PDT rules but couldn’t even say how long until those letter go out. She refused to allow me to speak to someone in a decision making capacity and when I asked to have the situation escalated she told me I had to go online and start a ticked…. You guys are a joke and I hope lots of people see this.

    @IBKR How do I get a human tech support person on the line? I specifically wanted help with an issue because the iBot information is not helping at all, but all I get from support is more copy paste AI answers and they keep closing my ticket without even reading my question.

  • christinefolch

    @IBKR Unresolvable problem: blue "log in" button won't work for error "You are logged in without Trading/Market Data permissions You are not connected to the brokerage system (You may be logged in on another platform). The displayed portfolio and market data are delayed."

  • NBee007
    Ten Beers (@NBee007) reported

    I thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading

  • LastGambler_777
    The EV Hunter (@LastGambler_777) reported

    @IBKR I do not recommend IB, terrible costumer service. Just look how they answer people on the comment section here. I have a position for several years due to a short on a company that did a merger that they never close and refuse to allow a cashout.

    @IBKR When your stupid app allows to! WTF is the developer ??

  • baanibaani4
    baani 🦕 (@baanibaani4) reported

    @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

  • flukigero
    Olivier (@flukigero) reported

    @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)

  • kastriooot8
    Kastriot (@kastriooot8) reported

    @MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!

  • Meeptimelive
    𝗠𝗲𝗲𝗽™ (@Meeptimelive) reported

    @TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Llc with liquidity problems nothing to be ashamed of. What factor rate are you looking for?

  • KhushbooR1
    KhushbooR (@KhushbooR1) reported

    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?

  • gpranesh
    Pranesh Ganesh (@gpranesh) reported

    @IBKR I have trouble logging in as no SMS is being received. Is there an ongoing outage?

  • ManuRDBiker
    ManuBiker🚴 (@ManuRDBiker) reported

    @IBKR Be careful of stop orders duplication problems. -5% in my chase never refunded.

    @grok @IBKR Still no Grok access!!! wtf?!?!

  • Yogithebearish

    @IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.

  • TheLepsGold777
    TruthFreedomPeace (@TheLepsGold777) reported

    @SOBRBC @IBKR If you got the "missing libxcb cursor library" error during installation,try using Synaptic Package Manager and search for libxcb-cursor0 and install that and then the IBKR Desktop install should work.

    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.

  • TheBostonView
    The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported

    When you reflect on the very poor customer support offered by @IBKR, the endless software glitches, and the that they don't even bother to produce a well designed app for the iPad--consider this: the company has enormous cash on its balance sheet. It could fix it all anytime.

  • abdullah_717
    abxx (@abdullah_717) reported

    @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

  • Yogithebearish
    joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @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.

  • EliteGainzTrade
    EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported

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

  • real_BD_2025
    realbd (@real_BD_2025) reported

    1/ Samsung Securities just became the first korean broker to launch an online omnibus account service if you have an @IBKR account, you can now buy korean stocks without opening a korean account

  • jminvesting
    John Martin (@jminvesting) reported

    I really want to use @IBKR and twice now I've tried to fund and set up an account. Their insistence on you having your phone nearby to check their mobile app for some code every 10 minutes has caused me to give up each time. Awful experience and poor security design.

    @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.
