  @TT_stocks_ @D3GSolutions @IBKR Schwab isnt bad. but they dont really let the digital penny stocks too much.

  Everybody is talking about the @RobinhoodApp MCP, but almost nobody is talking about @IBKR launching something similar. Interesting choice, though: @IBKR went with a ChatGPT app instead of an MCP server, so I can't actually use it in codex. Only in ChatGPT.

  @IBKR Unfortunately support is not being very helpful, their response is always that there is no ECD and no mitigation and that they are waiting for “the developers response”, we are close to a month wait now, I was hoping you could shake things up a little bit

  How do people deal with @IBKR? Literally 50% of the time I click any button, the page loads for 3–5 seconds and then just… doesn’t load at all (I get some error message)!

  @jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose

  @IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.

  @IBKR Yeah I checked and I’m connected to the internet…… Your quick support page doesn’t have anything related to blank screen after submitting application.

  @ASTS_SpaceMob I'm not worried. Launch in around 2 weeks. I can take 10% hit. The only people who benefit from selling are the enemy shorts. MoC is up, available shares to short are down by 75% with @IBKR. Only way we go down is if someone wants to buy at a lower price - propably significantly more than you paid yourself. Dont sell, price goes up. It really is that simple.

  @IBKR Genuinely shittiest trading app I’ve ever experienced Says my application was cancelled, but I tried to register a new account and it says my email is already registered. Can’t see **** after login sometimes, only left with user settings which I can’t even change ****

  @IBKR I am ok with a slow server if you guys find a way for people to invest directly from pakistan without having to use @wise or some other roundabout method

  @stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least

  Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported 29 minutes ago

  @vijucat @IBKR Absolute garbage platform. (Service too.) I've given up. Use all 3rd party tools. Data, metrics, reporting. Even the API is meh. @IBKR is a awful. Actively looking for alternatives. I simply cannot believe their stock price. If investors knew how ****** they are...my god.

  @blahajcapital @IBKR Im guessing they dont have enough onshore margin posted to cover their clients positions...there are no exchange problems....its bullshit

  @RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue

  @IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone
