    Would not recommend @IBKR to anyone at the moment. Locked out of trading account due to a system bug for a week. No one able to give an answer when this is fixed or resolved. No apologies, compensation or updates. Lousy customer care. Who is the regulatory body in the US?

  • bwalkers212

    @IBKR Locked out of account. Software & telephone of no help. Artificial Intelligence consulted. Nothing works.

    @IBKR Why does your platform run so awful. Also, I did an ACH transfer into my account that I initiated on Friday and the funds aren't settled in my account. What's the deal? @CharlesSchwab settles my funds after 2 business days. What is the deal ?

  • MednikovaM64181
    Maria Mednikova (@MednikovaM64181) reported

    Tried 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!

    @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

    @yeaaahzzz @IBKR It’s not terrible at all lol. Which platform do you think best? Or rather list a few that are materially better?

    JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported

    @speculator20221 @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.

    @Alex_Steger_ @IBKR I am on Tasty Schwab Fidelity Hood and IBKR. I mostly trade on Ibkr or tasty or at times Hood. Everyone has their set of problems. But this issue is rather tough one to swallow.

    @IBKR Fix the desktop installer for linux please

    @Desi_Trade It’s one of those things I thought would never happen to me… just got notified from IBKR that they are shutting down my account. It’s crazy that they @IBKR does this.

    ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude are terrible at trading. $REI intelligence is not an LLM, study @rei_labs. It has already been proven profitable by @EclipticaOS. I’m confident that the new version, Rei Core 0.5a, will deliver strong results and significant profits on @IBKR in this experiment.

    @IBKR 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

    @IBKR and if war stops it slams back down buy gold when its a boring market you don't want to be anyone, but the first one buying it during a tempary crisis.

    @IBKR Your desktop software's Linux installer is broken.

    Is IBKR Paper Trader currently down? Why don’t I have permission to trade on the paper account anymore? @IBKR

    @IBKR please fix your stupid, ugly iOS app. Pathetic in the age of AI. Cc @vladtenev

    @aleabitoreddit @labubu_trader @IBKR I totally concur that #IBKR UI is trash, also the response time for navigating and waiting for things to load is just intolerable. Please upgrade the infra and spend some money to fix!

  • Forward_Capital
    Forward Capital (UK) Limited (@Forward_Capital) reported

    There have been issues connecting to @IBKR using @tradingview for over a week and no confirmed date for resolving the issue. Can you confirm what is going on?

  • ksrv_k
    Sourav Kolay (@ksrv_k) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR very bad experience! My profile access was restricted without any explanations. Contacted customer support multiple times without any response. Totally unethical practice by IBKR!

    @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.

    @IBKR hi, I have a disability support pension and I would like to do trading through you but your platform makes it near impossible and I would hate to think I would have to report you to the a Triple C for discrimination due to income. Perhaps we can work something out

  • IlhadoSteve
    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.

  • BearBullDebate
    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.

  • arnoblits
    Arno (@arnoblits) reported

    @CharlesSchwab @IBKR Today during the extreme volume spikes, the Java client completely locked up, preventing me from broadcasting closing orders to the exchange via AT. I’d appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.

    @IBKR dear ibkr i deposited funds on my ibkr account on 20th March till now I not received funds in my ibkr account but deducted from bank on the 20th please help asap add my funds

    TheBigBerbowski (Jebaim) (@TheBigBerbowski) reported

    @SixSigmaCapital @IBKR Did you submit deposit request first, and sent money after? Stupid question I know, but if not done in this very order it can cause hours of delays with your deposits.

    @TheTechInvest @IBKR Lost over 30k on options lately, only doing sureish bets now lol; although in saying that did good last year, so can’t complain

    @IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.
