-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR That’s comforting. Thank you. I was not able to place the trades again when cancellation happened. Support was not reachable. Later I got email saying it was a technical issue on their end.
-
Manny (@theverysmartone) reported@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.
-
Pps831 (@Pps831) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has pretty bad data imo. Even in their api they mention that it should not be relied upon or something like that.
-
Milo (@coincarver) reportedIs Interactive brokers down? What is this garbage exchange? HELLO? @IBKR
-
PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@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

Rich Pinks (@RichPinks) reportedJust keep $AMC above $1 until shorts crack, that's it, that's all you have to do. @IBKR showed me 11112.2 Bil shares traded volume today. The glitch better have my money, that's all I'm saying. ABOVE ONE DOLLAR. I like that discount, count me in. The Box Office will bring $$$$$$$
-
Guru (@ZainGuru4) reported@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
-
Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reportedWould 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?
-
James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported@IBKR the speed for es quote is very slow!!!!!
-
J (@Blue_1Trades) reported@IBKR Why does your platform run so awful. Also, I did an ACH transfer into my account that I initiated on Friday and the funds aren't settled in my account. What's the deal? @CharlesSchwab settles my funds after 2 business days. What is the deal ?
-
Cypher3d (@RealityCypher) reported@IBKR has the worst customer support I've seen for any product/service I've ever used in my entire life. It's honestly breathtaking...
-
Eight Seven (@kjeightyseven) reported@trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why don’t you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.
-
Jack Bauer (@Jack_Bauer2022) reported@IBKR WTF OS going on with your Customer Service phone support, been trying to get through for past hour. Your company is an embarrassing joke, worst service ever!!!
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR Useless. Can't login and am told to get help by phone. But they don't answer the phone. They refer me back to their support page which says I have to call. Thank God they've got very little of my money.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Traders workstation is a piece of garbage. Anyone not using IB. Stay away they are the worst
-
Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported@IBKR My application U24947179 has been stuck since March 25. Promised same-day resolution, got nothing. Now I'm 403'd from Live Chat so I can't even reach support. No ETA, no update. What's going on?
-
Weeble Rothschild (@noruserious) reported@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.
-
Weeble Rothschild (@noruserious) reported@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!!!

AngryPhysicist, PhD. (@Drcamole) reported@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!!!!
-
subst8nc3 (@subst8nce) reported@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.
-
Keeping it real (@shelterfrmstorn) reported@IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.
-
GlobalTrendInvestor (@GlobalTrendInv) reported@DebraG_Robins @IBKR No though awfully slow loading up TWS on desktop
-
Rod J Davis 🇺🇸 (@rjd_mkts) reported@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!!!!
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Opening a ticket in your susten is actually quite difficult because you have to navigate a mine field of AI generated answers and faq. Your support staff is terrible. Last time I opened a ticket it took a week to get a response.
-
KaRan ShAh (@karan_h_shah) reportedIBKR platform down for the last 10 minutes on both desktop and mobile. Anyone else facing this issue? #IBKR #trading @IBKR

-
Name Can't Be Blank (@BearBullDebate) reported@OddDiligence yes you should have had a bulletin alerting you to that. And yes the clowns at @ibkr said they'd fix it, didn't, and then said resolved.
-
DividendMillennial (@DividendMil) reported@GeorgeFChahine @IBKR I might open an $IBKR account. I have heard great things and schwab is slacking a bit in their customer service
