  • tormentedkitten James Nelson (@tormentedkitten) reported

    @IBKR I can buy the hell out of $nakd but I can't sell cover calls on my $nok. Stupid and criminal.

  • Nick_Giannoulis Nick Giannoulis, CFA, CFM, AFM (@Nick_Giannoulis) reported from Poplar, England

    Anyone having the same issue? Can @IBKR be trusted with trading when they cannot solve technical issues with opening an account? Traders of $GME $AMC $NOK had any issues?

  • jonhurwi Jonhurwi (@jonhurwi) reported

    @IBKR This is complete BS! This attitude definitely isn’t serving your customer that wants to use the app to grow their net worth

  • gotdrc Alex G (@gotdrc) reported

    @IBKR Still rejecting trades a day later, even with 100% cash funding. This is criminal -- and criminally stupid.

  • sherloksam sherlok sam (@sherloksam) reported

    @IBKR you are not allowing people to login very good..

  • NathanMargaglio Nathan Margaglio (@NathanMargaglio) reported

    @IBKR I went with @IBKR to specifically avoid these kinds of issues. I'm jumping ship to @Fidelity.

  • zachariak Zacharia K (@zachariak) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR - do you still run a customer support? chat , phone web ticket? we ticket 4 days no response, phone 2 hours cant get anyone, chat 1hr 30 minutes no response. Never thought it so tough to get a simple inbound transfer position question answered. strongly considering move out

  • gentiltrader Thomas Gentil (@gentiltrader) reported

    @IBKR hello my account is not logging in this morning. it keeps reconnecting to the internet .... my internet is fine i did a speed test.. this is horrible. please fix this asap

  • E__A_S_M Dave Darsky (@E__A_S_M) reported

    @Ibkr @thomaspetterfy NEXT LEVEL STUPID: Thomas petterfy, CEO of interactive brokers, goes on air and says: "no, short squeezes are illegal" How is a naturally market mechanism illegal, you corrupt old ****. Somebody put this guy in a nursing home and replace your leaders ffs

  • cryptoendgamer CRYPTO END GAMEr (@cryptoendgamer) reported

    How is it I can buy $gme $amc at my local brokerage but other people using @RobinhoodApp @TDAmeritrade & @IBKR cant? WTF?

  • RobPileggi Rob Pileggi (@RobPileggi) reported

    I can't write covered calls in at $AMC? WTF @IBKR #IBKR. 18 years of floor trading experience and I can't do the most basic of options trades. You're painting with a very broad brush. #pathetic

  • HeyGregor Gregor (@HeyGregor) reported

    @IBKR Since long options have a 100% requirement (and debit spreads and covered calls carry no net risk), why would ALL options on these issues be liqs only? Why would my grandmother not be able to sell a covered call against her AMC? (Asking for widows and orphans everywhere.)

  • Catboy25495758 Catboy (@Catboy25495758) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They only front a $1000 the rest of the money has to be cleared Before you spend it. But on the order hand I tried to withdraw the money in my account yesterday and they still haven't cleared it. So it possibly can be a flow problem but most likely wall street fraud like always.

  • briedissuo briedissuo (@briedissuo) reported

    @IBKR You really shouldn't, because they might arbitrarily restrict what you can buy. That should be illgal, especially when I'm paying you for the service. @IBKR you are not the SEC! I will definitely be looking at other brokers after this.

  • JonathanBesler Jonathan Besler 6'2 IQ 133 (@JonathanBesler) reported from Calgary, Alberta

    @WSBChairman @IBKR claims my attempt to buy is a "future" or equivalent wtf?

  • gentiltrader Thomas Gentil (@gentiltrader) reported

  • JeremyVanEck Jeremy Van Eck (@JeremyVanEck) reported

    @IBKR Picking winners and losers in a market and it's not your money... /is/ illegal. Here's another target for a lawsuit. When AOC AND Tes Cruz agree on something... Hell froze over. Here's your sign stupid.

  • LandonCLedford Landon Ledford 👋 (@LandonCLedford) reported

    @mcuban @IBKR Didn't read all responses here, but noticed these contradictions: "Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said Thursday that the company did not have liquidity issues." "Robinhood raised $1 billion in emergency funds from investors this week as the platform struggles with a surge in trading"

  • ZachLiberty More Liberty Please (@ZachLiberty) reported

    @IBKR Closing only trades on $NOK? Can’t even protect my position? **** you.

  • WBugger19 WollyBugger (@WBugger19) reported

    @tormentedkitten @IBKR ExActly this. I have LEAPs on BB and I want to sell calls against it. This is irrelevant of what’s happening with GME. **** your @IBKR

  • JonathanBesler Jonathan Besler 6'2 IQ 133 (@JonathanBesler) reported from Calgary, Alberta

    @WSBChairman @IBKR claims my attempt to buy is a "future" or equivalent and blocks me wtf?

  • IlBmac BmacIL (@IlBmac) reported

    @M_iikun @ChrisCuomo @IBKR It's a liquidity issue for citadel. We shouldn't GaF though. This was pure manipulation to protect who has the money.

  • dc_adams1 Daniel (@dc_adams1) reported

    Hey @IBKR you gon' let me trade on 'RiSkY' stocks today ?! Because I HAVE to trade w PDT, so I actually calculate my entries on exits based on the 1,5,15s for the day. But because of VoLaTiLiTy you're gonna trap my longs so your **** BOIS shorts can cover by MAKING SELLS ONLY.

  • NotSmartMoney1 NotSmartMoney (@NotSmartMoney1) reported

    @IBKR why is the app not showing my unrealized p&l, the average price and cost basis? #IB #InteractiveBrokers #broken

  • TheBostonView The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported

    Every day gets harder to use @IBKR. Can't log in because system won't generate two factor notification on phone. Settings won't save across platforms. Trade windows take a LONG time to open. And of course there is no Help Desk, impossible to get through.

  • Nick_Giannoulis Nick Giannoulis, CFA, CFM, AFM (@Nick_Giannoulis) reported from Poplar, England

    @elonmusk Is there any reliable broker that you can open an account quickly? I tried with @IBKR but they are useless. It takes 4 days and the support is not helpful with speeding up the process..
