  Interactive brokers won’t even let me sell Nokia covered calls. **** you @IBKR this is criminal. Nokia is a massive company it’s not even that volatile and this is a covered call. How does this protect me as the customer in any way?

  @IBKR You really shouldn't, because they might arbitrarily restrict what you can buy. That should be illgal, especially when I'm paying you for the service. @IBKR you are not the SEC! I will definitely be looking at other brokers after this.

  @IBKR why is the app not showing my unrealized p&l, the average price and cost basis? #IB #InteractiveBrokers #broken

  @IBKR Even a naked put could be completely covered by a 100% requirement (underlying at the strike.) Please help me understand your risk assessment reasoning. I need to have confidence in my brokerage.

  @IBKR_TI @SteveSosnick @IBKR Brokers are well known leeches who rob their clients and never are accountable for anything (only steeling money for doing nothing in both market is up or down)!

  @IBKR seriously getting sick of the platform breaking down. I can understand market open but mid day? Comon. You can do better. Cant see any prices. Charts are frozen. API showing different prices. Option prices going haywire. Nothing is matching anything. I liquidated all pos.

  I can't write covered calls in $AMC? WTF @IBKR. 18 years of floor trading experience and I can't do the most basic of options trades. You're painting with a very broad brush. #pathetic #ibkr

  @IBKR Still rejecting trades a day later, even with 100% cash funding. This is criminal -- and criminally stupid.

  Hey @IBKR you gon' let me trade on 'RiSkY' stocks today ?! Because I HAVE to trade w PDT, so I actually calculate my entries on exits based on the 1,5,15s for the day. But because of VoLaTiLiTy you're gonna trap my longs so your **** BOIS shorts can cover by MAKING SELLS ONLY.

  @tormentedkitten @IBKR ExActly this. I have LEAPs on BB and I want to sell calls against it. This is irrelevant of what’s happening with GME. **** your @IBKR

  Gregor (@HeyGregor) reported 54 minutes ago

  @IBKR Since long options have a 100% requirement (and debit spreads and covered calls carry no net risk), why would ALL options on these issues be liqs only? Why would my grandmother not be able to sell a covered call against her AMC? (Asking for widows and orphans everywhere.)

  @IBKR And now this site is acting like POS Kraken...won't allow clients to login, major disruption with site. OK...we need to issue trading licence to people like drivers lic, so only some can trade. This is the only solution if these cats don't fix their capacity issues.

  @IBKR Trying to sign up but your web page wont let me.. help tab also not working ..? Seems to be poor at this point

  @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They only front a $1000 the rest of the money has to be cleared Before you spend it. But on the order hand I tried to withdraw the money in my account yesterday and they still haven't cleared it. So it possibly can be a flow problem but most likely wall street fraud like always.

  The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported 59 minutes ago

  Every day gets harder to use @IBKR. Can't log in because system won't generate two factor notification on phone. Settings won't save across platforms. Trade windows take a LONG time to open. And of course there is no Help Desk, impossible to get through.
