    @IBKR you expect people to respond to account messages in message center while banning people from accessing the message center, amazing. How many system issues you receive and ignore every day?

    @FredrikEJohans2 @IBKR @CFTC It eventually got corrected after several hours, had to test it every 15min. But never got a notification on why it happened or when it was supposed to be resolved. Submitted a complaint to the CFTC regardless, super unprofessional reckless

    @IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.

    @IBKR It’s been half an hour and the system is STILL down! Everyone on X/social media is furious right now. Users are taking huge losses because of your outage—how are you going to compensate us for this? Fix this NOW! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    IBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.

    @IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!

    @ebbe77 @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972

    @IBKR what are you going to do about my account that still has money inside but able to sign in or reset, stupid thing is, I need to sign in to submit a ticket. Phone support not useful, they say unable to find my account. I have screenshots of me transferring money in the account

    @CapitalChr92373 @Therichardralph @IBKR Though some financial institutions will only allow a customer to open one account with them. While other FIs will let you open more than one

    @ross_w__ @IBKR I’m stuck on that **** show !! Currently down 500k and counting **** I wish I thought about using Kosdaq as an hedge to flatten out when they failed to take my orders yesterday night

  • saptarshi_tweet
    Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported

    @IBKR do you ever solve problems. When faced with a question your customer service reps just leave the chat room. Your tech does not work (docusign process, image upload on chat etc.) And your reps have no intention to solve anything.

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    @IBKR fix your ******* app!!!! My lord it's absolute dog ****. Sell lots out my shares LIFO and your system then does FIFO when it's clearly marked correct. Then on the backend in change tax lots it shows correctly. Yet today nor the next day will I get credit in my SMA or NL

    @PhenixInvesting @skyquake_1 @IBKR Its possible to reduce positions in Kospi futures and options now. It wasnt yesterday, wasnt given any explanation other than they were aware there was a problem.

  • iamshraey_
    Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported

    @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?

    FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported

    @IBKR Worst broker for trading small caps on the planet. They will lock you from exiting your position whenever they feel like it and you will lose 5-10x more before the cap is lifted.
