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.

-
Wolf B. Boehme (@WolfBBoehme) reported@IBKR I don't need your advice. Just fix your technology.
-
TrendTrader (@TrendTrader_US) reported@IBKR I’ve called & ask for the permission, & there is no follow through. These are things I can trade in my other brokerage accounts. If you don’t fix this problem, so your customers CAN’T trade oil via $USO or $BNO, particularly in light of Iran war, you are going to lose customers.
-
Ricky Chen (@ChenRshen3p) reported@IBKR IB Desktop is down, nothing is loading at the moment, any info on that?
-
Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported@IBKR The worst customer service EVER! I started an application on Thursday 3/19 and I already hate you. Was denied trading permission for futures on a cash account. Nobody can tell me why I was denied or what the requirements to trade futures are.
-
speculator (@speculator20221) reportedAnybody just have $IBKR cancel all their open orders? @IBKR Apparently a widespread issue right now and trading permissions disabled.
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@AiStockAgent @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.
-
Korban (@AwokenApollyon) reported@rfcapital2 @etrade It’s been broken for literally ******* weeks. I’m about to move my money to @IBKR
-
Hyperbolic Discounter (@HyperbolicDisco) reported@senzu_capital @IBKR Yep. It is worrying. All the permissions are in place - I checked, so it must be a glitch. I emailed my rep - she’s very responsive. Hopefully it is fixed by morning.

Clausius investments (@MinhungShih) reported@IBKR please fix your stupid, ugly iOS app. Pathetic in the age of AI. Cc @vladtenev
-
Vrushabh Bhangod (@Vrushabh3211) reported@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 !
-
Priom.eth (@0xPriom) reported@joemccann @IBKR You are doing god’s work! Ibkr probably has one of the worst apis
-
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?
-
AngryPhysicist, PhD. (@Drcamole) reported@IBKR To issue a web ticket, I need to sign in, but my issue to start with is related to my inability to sign in. Possible to PM me and provide me some contact information in the form of an email or phone number to call that provides me a human to speak to who can verify me.
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@JosephW31117119 @senzu_capital @IBKR same issue
-
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
-
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.
-
SGPrincess | 土皮公主 (@sg_princess_sg) reportedThis weekend will be dedicated to fix my IBKR desktop regular crash, watchlist not saved upon restart and TradingView connection issue. What a nightmare it has been with IBKR. I will leave when my current options positions got clear. It should be by end of the year. @IBKR I think u truly need to catch up with ur dinosaur tech deck, but I am completely fine with the fact that u don’t want to serve tech generation traders.

Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reportedIf 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
-
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported@super509219312 @IBKR This is obviously a different level of concern and seems to show that they're not being careful about their updates. In the 7yrs of using them, most issues have been the annoying types, not mini heart attack types For me, if there's another major type of issue, then I'm moving
-
BatCAt (@BatcatCA) reported@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.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon So frustrated with your service. It is just the worst. Good luck finding customer support. Absolutely ridiculous.
-
Binay Jha (Chartered Accountant) (@binaycjha) reported@JacobMcGrew6 @IBKR Yes. It was a system issues which they are trying to resolve. But you need to call them and they need to reset all the accounts to make it work. After that you need to logout and login again.
