@IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR
KaRan ShAh (@karan_h_shah) reported 16 minutes ago
IBKR platform down for the last 10 minutes on both desktop and mobile. Anyone else facing this issue? #IBKR #trading @IBKR

@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.
Rich Pinks (@RichPinks) reported 18 minutes ago
Just 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 $$$$$$$

@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon 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
Vrushabh Bhangod (@Vrushabh3211) reported 22 minutes ago
@IBKR hi , I think there’s an error with the total calculations when underlyings are in different currencies like ILS or EUR. The final daily P&L isn’t converted to USD. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thanks !
Néstor Chávez (@nestdot_) reported 23 minutes ago
@IBKR @IBKRespanol I’ve been trying to open an account for months but keep getting stuck at phone verification. Sometimes the system even says “Your application has been cancelled.” Emails go unanswered and support tickets are unavailable. Please assist urgently.
Christopher C (@chartonaut) reported 25 minutes ago
I follow best practices by using complex and random passwords generated by my password manager. Meanwhile, @IBKR just force-updated my TWS on Linux, and now I can't copy/paste my password to login anymore. These guys have been vibe coding before AI was even a thing.
BatCAt (@BatcatCA) reported 27 minutes ago
@IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.

@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.
Ricky Chen (@ChenRshen3p) reported 28 minutes ago
@IBKR IB Desktop is down, nothing is loading at the moment, any info on that?
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported 30 minutes ago
@senzu_capital @JosephW31117119 @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.

@IBKR Gee I can’t imagine how this could be terrible.

@rfcapital2 @etrade It’s been broken for literally ******* weeks. I’m about to move my money to @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
Cluseau Investments (@blondesnmoney) reported 43 minutes ago
Ever since IBKR made the font slightly more green the market has gone to ****. @IBKR please fix this.
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported 48 minutes ago
If anyone happens to be having problems with the API on @IBKR after last night's TWS update to 10.43, go to file, change version, and stable and that fixes it IBKR is working on a fix but this is their short term solution

@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!!!

DeV (@A_Dev9) reported 51 minutes ago
@IBKR Your India customer care and operations are pathetic. For every funds deposit, the customer care asks additional docs for proof of deposit and this is despite following all the guidelines per your process while transferring funds.
Carl Malartre (@Malartre) reported 52 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.

@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon This is out of desperation contact attempt: Recently opened an IBKR account and trying to transfer in meaningful funding into the said account. Having a glitches and find there is NO WAY to get hold of a real live agent, unlike TOS or many others. How could this be? Please help!

@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.
