@IBKR Locked out of account. Software & telephone of no help. Artificial Intelligence consulted. Nothing works.
Binay Jha (Chartered Accountant) (@binaycjha) reported 7 minutes ago
.@IBKR what happened with leverage ETFs order. I see that suddenly I have started getting error that I don’t have permission to trade this type of securities. Whereas I am trading leveraged ETFs since last six years without any issues except today.
October Fund (@OctoberFund) reported 9 minutes ago
Is IBKR Paper Trader currently down? Why don’t I have permission to trade on the paper account anymore? @IBKR
Joseph W (@JosephW31117119) reported 9 minutes ago
@senzu_capital @IBKR Same here, gave them a call,they said it's system technical issue. And expected to be resumed by premarket.
Jabon McGrewber (@JacobMcGrew6) reported 13 minutes ago
@binaycjha @IBKR Same here. All trading permissions gone all of a sudden. Looks to be a system issue per how many other people are having the issue
Debra Robinson (@DebraG_Robins) reported 13 minutes ago
Anybody else having issues with their IBKR account and viewing their portfolios? @IBKR

@IBKR your platform went down in the middle of trades and cancelled orders, resulting into loss of profit. You guys didn't even give an update. Haven't been able to place orders since more than an hour. PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE #futures #trading #ibkr
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported 18 minutes ago
@IBKR Oi *********. What is the point of providing any pnl information if you are just going to value US etfs at nonsensical fkg values during non cash equity hours. AOR for example. ******* you people are impossible to like.
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported 19 minutes ago
@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
Keeping it real (@shelterfrmstorn) reported 20 minutes ago
@IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.
Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reported 21 minutes ago
Would not recommend @IBKR to anyone at the moment. Locked out of trading account due to a system bug for a week. No one able to give an answer when this is fixed or resolved. No apologies, compensation or updates. Lousy customer care. Who is the regulatory body in the US?
Chipaway (@WaRidgway1) reported 21 minutes ago
@TheTechInvest @IBKR Lost over 30k on options lately, only doing sureish bets now lol; although in saying that did good last year, so can’t complain
TrendTrader (@TrendTrader_US) reported 22 minutes ago
@IBKR Your customer service is lacking compared to Fidelity and Scwab. Why do you restrict IRAs from trading $BNO, $CPER, $MPLX … when the other two don’t? Your customer ssrvice never follows thru to resolve these issues despite promising to do so. #noaccountability
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported 26 minutes ago
@IBKR genius To setup the two factor auth the QR code in the main terminal will be lost because you sign in on your phone f me whoever is in your IT team needs the sack
GardinerIslandCapital (@GardinerIsland) reported 26 minutes ago
hey .@IBKR $IBKR this is getting annoying who does your prices these days ? Yahoo ? $RITM went ex-*** today ..... its green on day 10 cents while you have it red 15 cents FIX YA ******* SYSTEM ALREADY
Carl Malartre (@Malartre) reported 32 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.
Rod J Davis 🇺🇸 (@rjd_mkts) reported 34 minutes ago
@IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!
Diamond Hands (@HandsDiamo96856) reported 35 minutes ago
@IBKR there is no way you are the #1 rated trading platform. When a client with $1 mm in liquid cash & 20+ years trading experience, and a credit rating of 800+ does not have approval to buy $IBIT you have a problem.
Amit Gandhi (@amitpg) reported 35 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.
Cluseau Investments (@blondesnmoney) reported 36 minutes ago
Ever since IBKR made the font slightly more green the market has gone to ****. @IBKR please fix this.
Bill Nickelson (@jellydonutcap) reported 36 minutes ago
@IBKR deposit rules literally the worst in the game
Manny (@theverysmartone) reported 44 minutes ago
@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.
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported 45 minutes ago
@super509219312 @IBKR This is obviously a different level of concern and seems to show that they're not being careful about their updates. In the 7yrs of using them, most issues have been the annoying types, not mini heart attack types For me, if there's another major type of issue, then I'm moving
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported 47 minutes ago
@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
Nimesh Shah (@nimesh3t) reported 53 minutes ago
Why does my daily p&l get messed up the moment Tel Aviv market closes @IBKR ? Please fix things on the backend.
AngryPhysicist, PhD. (@Drcamole) reported 56 minutes ago
@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!!!!
TrendTrader (@TrendTrader_US) reported 57 minutes ago
@IBKR I’ve called & ask for the permission, & there is no follow through. These are things I can trade in my other brokerage accounts. If you don’t fix this problem, so your customers CAN’T trade oil via $USO or $BNO, particularly in light of Iran war, you are going to lose customers.
Ricky Chen (@ChenRshen3p) reported 57 minutes ago
@IBKR IB Desktop is down, nothing is loading at the moment, any info on that?
Panzer_valkyrie (@PanzerValkyrie) reported 58 minutes ago
@DebraG_Robins @IBKR I used mine a few hours ago m everything was fine , I use the web page on ipad. I have the app. but don’t use that. I have occasionally had issues seeing portfolio in past but refreshing usually sorted , once I had to logout and in again.

@BloomDemark @IBKR I tried. It says I don’t have trading permission. Customer service taking forever to pick up
