DWmontgomery (@DWpaMont) reported@IBKR bad product
-
Acmesafeco (@acmesafeco) reported@IBKR Warning to anyone considering switching to IBKR will allow you to deposit funds but be aware new accounts will not get approved for trading with no explanation. Here's the best part...you cant even send the funds back to your existing broker so just watch the market while they hold your money. No explanation, no customer support, just tough ****.

itsuki (@itsukitak) reportedAnyone having issues with @IBKR orders?
-
xp Ehsaan (@XP_Ehsaan) reported@joemccann @IBKR Does it support 1 min candles ?
-
BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported@IBKR I have... they claimed they are waiting on finra regulatory notice but that is incorrect. That notice was issued 4/20/26 showing effective date 6/4/26. Other brokers are moving quick on this and your web ticket reps are uninformed. Many are waiting on this information. Pls help

NottsStargazer 🔴🚀📈 (@Nottsstargazer) reported@IBKR support is AI slop nonsense. Nobody responds sensibly. Utter garbage.
-
Momo (@Momorenph) reportedGot cucked by IBKR for having limited margin??? The position would have cost 5% of my remaining maintenance margin??? Plz fix @IBKR I wanna lose money
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR_Europe Fix your desktop software installer for linux please @IBKR
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@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.
-
Paulo Santos (@ThinkFinance999) reported@the_white_tig3r @IBKR Typically, no. You might exceeding the number of KRW you need to buy, and if you're in Europe, new stupid regulation (for which Europe is famous) won't let you buy even 1 KRW in excess if you have any margin anywhere. Reduce how many KRW you're buying and try again.

nullnoob (@nu11noo8) reported@unusual_whales closing my @Fidelity account - can’t trust a place that makes stupid i’ll-advised decisions that are clearly disguised to produce indirect layoffs hello @IBKR 👋 I’ll be making an account TODAY
-
John Morina-If you build it they will come (@JohnMorina2) reported@IBKR your platform sucks and your customer service is as bad as Spirit Airlines. I have been on hold for 35 minutes calling from overseas so the cost will be extremely expensive. You suck, always have and the reason I hate using your platform
-
pastaman📦 (@_pastaman) reported@IBKR Hey I deposit funds from bank to IBKR without a deposit notice. Can't open a ticket or access live chat since your website is down...
-
ORDER FILLED (@Opus_Trad3r) reported@marketswithmags @TradingLucid Why Prop firms make it so hard for people to cash out money they earned? @IBKR doesn’t need you to cool down.
-
sroy (@roy34340023) reported@IBKR Your India ops is a complete circus. The simulation is a joke, your customer service is clueless. Zero faith in doing any trades thru you.
-
Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reported@IBKR Very Bad service no responce 😡
-
Maria Mednikova (@MednikovaM64181) reportedTried to use @IBKR app to buy some QQQ and it was such a bad experience. This is my first time investing so it was overwhelmingly complicated. I put in an application at @public but haven't heard anything back. Their app looks so much easier!
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?
-
Billhelm (@Whoandwhere47) reported@IBKR Is this the same IBKR whose clients constantly complain about them on Reddit lol?
-
Christine Folch (@christinefolch) reported@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."
-
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.
-
DC (@HalifaxDC) reported@speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR They apparently cancelled my order, and now it's saying I'm still short 150,000 Euros, but the problem is my base currency is USD and it won't let me switch it back. On hold with them on their "emergency number" lol. I'm going to assume that they have to fix it, in the end.
-
Clausius investments (@MinhungShih) reported@IBKR please fix your stupid, ugly iOS app. Pathetic in the age of AI. Cc @vladtenev
-
Agent Smith (@AiStockAgent) reported@BloomDemark @IBKR I tried. It says I don’t have trading permission. Customer service taking forever to pick up
-
The 'investor' (@Pikachu21M) reported@IBKR If I chose a timeframe on the chart, 1 month, 1 year, 5 years, I should see the percentage of progression during this period. Your stays fix on the daily percentage. It’s not a bug but your choice grok said
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Your desktop software's Linux installer is broken.
-
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...
-
sfrPILLED (@3nder555) reported@bclund @IBKR It could help you in a legitimate situation. I've had half my gdx liquidated on a down day b4
-
toti (@Aonnoa_) reported@IBKR You must have Push notification enabled on your Phone to confirm your withdrawal request within the app. Otherwise please login to Client Portal and confirm your Withdrawal request. ?
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR Happened to me too. Multiple orders got canceled. They said it was a technical issue on their end. But it it rather alarming, given that their support is hardly reachable. When situations like this happen, you need support more easily available to deal with it.
