Doug Campbell (@TradeandMoney) reported@IBKR @Polymarket The score is now: IBKR 1, Me 0. First I went to AI to resolve my problem, and then tech support. They sent me to read some article that i couldn't see. I was going to send support a screen shot of what I saw when i clicked on the article link, but there support chat had a bug and the upload didn't work! You can't make this stuff up. In the end support told me to come back tomorrow and try.

Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@IBKR “Trust” should be verifiable: disclose custody, execution quality, fees, margin rules, and protections by jurisdiction—not just global reach.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedDear @IBKR it's 2026 and you need to update and do some serious work to your IBKR mobile app for people who actively trade. When I call in people act as if nobody even uses it which isn't true. Get that thing like TWS and give TOS a run for its damn money.
-
Ross (@F1ashmanR) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR Do they have a cash isa you can easily transfer between? Same issue as you with trading 212, fees are high on the fx if scalp trading, Anything small cap is slow and generally poor execution price in comparison to my IG trading account
