@IBKR iPhone app is so bad every week doesn’t give information about news and extra when you go to individual stock. That’s rediculious.

@IBKR The government is going to start taxing heavily on EVERYBODY. Government overspending and inefficient systems is the problem, not the wealthy people who have lead the way in their industry to help provide people with innovative goods and services so we can live better. #EatTheTax

@IBKR So I can learn to use a platform that is useless? To clarify - your new version of TWS is absolute trash and DOES NOT WORK / freezes constantly / has cost me 10s of thousands of dollars in losses. Fix the software…

@IBKR If you want to buy Bitcoin, don't buy a stupid ETF. It is way easier to own really Bitcoin on a $70 private wallet. You hold custody of it, not a paper claim to Bitcoin which is usually cash-settled (think price suppression!). We should be way beyond this by now after 2008!

@TidefallCapital @IBKR The "he" here is the bad guy (and it probably is a bunch of he's). Not the best illustration for your point.

@IBKR Can you guys fix some of the MAJOR problems I have? If I have $1k or $20k in my account, why can't I trade zero day to expiration contracts during the second half of the day? What's the worst that can happen if I buy 1-5 AMZN calls and let them go to zero? I'm talking directional

@BharathQuant @IBKR I like their stability, but that stability comes with an awful lot of rigidity. Right now my account is technically still IBKR Lite but signed up for volume-based pricing, and now I cannot trade, and they don't know why. (I know why! I'm signed up for volume-tiered commissions!)

@puppyeh1 @IBKR I want to hear your take 1yr into trading on another platform. No one likes their platform, even $10bn hfs complain constantly. Go get your own exchange membership and do it direct ;)

@leerawrs @IBKR they stil haven't activated Pro, I think customer support disabled it after my call (after telling me to cancel it, and me saying I didn't want to)... but yeah good margin rates, stock loan, and interest on idle cash is nice i guess, partial shares and foreign markets etc

It's great when @IBKR randomly close out one of your profitable trades, rather than one causing a momentary margin issue?? Cheers. Not.

@dunbelievable @AutumnCapital @IBKR It’s not the commissions - those are fine. It’s the lack of customer service

@IBKR "Fiat currency backed by only a nation's good name is inherently unstable. What is better is a digital currency backed by absolutely nothing..." Sorry, but crypto is like Beanie Babies and Dutch Tulips, except without the added stability of being a physical asset.

@puppyeh1 @IC354 @IBKR Which brokers would you recommend outside of the US? I would like to diversify a bit from IBKR but the other cheaper broker that I know of -degiro- is simply not nearly as good as IBKR. But yeah IBKRs customer service sucks,I would gladly pay a monthly fee for a decent service

@IBKR First of all remove your trade restrictions for the many OTC tickers which are even pink current. What good is the SEC rule that helps to filter and narrow down OTC tickers if you going to filter more after the SEC deadline!

@puppyeh1 @IBKR I have yet to see a brokerage that actually values the client relationship. They treat you bad as soon as you're on more than say a year, it seems they're only interested in new customers - not retaining them. Yes, looking at you @consorsbank

@IBKR How long are you going to fix endless chart issues with bits of string? When do you plan to redesign all this disastrous charts system?
