Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@belfort0609 @buyerofponzi @IBKR I'm hearing this is an increasing problem. You will be better off elsewhere .. IBKR went from a top tier broker to a bottom tier real fast as far as I'm concerned.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.
-
Ringiana (@Ringiana) reported@ThinkFinance999 @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Similar problem in the US, not just Europe. Must be SK's rules for foreigners holding KRW in brokerage accounts. LLM explained one solution to me.
-
ELhuron DasWiesel (@ElhuronD33244) reportedHey @IBKR ! Why is it that your stock newsfeed in the individual tickers is so bad? It shows completely irrelevant information 95% of the time. And if it's relevant judging from the headline it doesnt work half the time when you click on it. This is really annoying.
-
Jatin Jani (@Jatin_S_Jani) reported@IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.
-
Kastriot (@kastriooot8) reported@MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!
-
John Martin (@jminvesting) reportedI really want to use @IBKR and twice now I've tried to fund and set up an account. Their insistence on you having your phone nearby to check their mobile app for some code every 10 minutes has caused me to give up each time. Awful experience and poor security design.
-
TradeSetupsOnly (@Tradesetupsonly) reportedWow, @IBKR is giving me so much trouble. Considering closing with them to move somewhere else. Can’t deal with the hassle anymore.
-
Jim Baranello (@BaranelloJim) reported@IBKR Hate to say it as an IBKR user but the platform is the absolute worst of any of the major retail brokers for active trading. Clunky and not intuitive. IBKR has great access to virtually all financial products and international markets but wish they would invest more time or energy on the platform itself. Looks like im not the only one who feels this way.
-
INTER (@Night34Blue) reported@IBKR Hello, I have already completed all requested tasks, uploaded documents, updated my financial profile, completed MiFIR and tax information, and funded my account. However, I am still unable to receive the trading permissions I requested, and I keep receiving only automated responses without a clear explanation or solution. I respectfully ask for a proper manual review of my account by a specialist and clear guidance on exactly what needs to be changed or updated for approval. I have spent a significant amount of time trying to resolve this issue, and if this cannot be resolved properly, I may consider withdrawing my funds and using another broker platform instead. Please review my account carefully and assist me with a real solution. Thank you.

Vj (@VJ_303) reported@IBKR No communication channel work...you can try your self as outsider...you will not able to reach your own customer care..... check and call Qatar contact number on ur website, try chat you will receive nothing???
-
Andrea (@Andrea79983493) reported@IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!
-
ilia (@ilia_el_pro) reported@TheFlowHorse can i ask why when i trade on @IBKR i tried after hours etc and even if there is trade on nasdaq route at that bid price my bid orders is not execute even with 1% lower price or is like lagging sometimes to like that while hyperliquid/binance perps dont have this issue
-
Violet (@belfort0609) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR I told them to go **** themselves in the email closing my account. Never going back. Their building janitor can run their ops desk better than every keyboard monkey on there combined.
-
musictalklistenerohio✂️ (@ilisteninnwohio) reported@renatodelarento @Trading212 @IBKR IBKR: interesting info. But 4me, I can't digest all the incoming on the investment front for myself. That's why I'm willing to pay someone (they get a cut of my investment) who is more trained than myself. My training: fight fires, b a paramedic, fix auto body's, & not worry.

KY (@fixurcough) reported@jzrdan @IBKR Funny cuz I haven’t heard **** about ****
-
LeonNoelLion (@LeonLionNoel) reported@IBKR Go **** yourselves.
-
白大白🎀 (@DianaV65176) reported@IBKR Send help!
-
TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported@IBKR Your ticket response was awful. It was just a bot message that provided no assistance. I have now been subject to PDT blackout rules for seven business days. This is ridiculous.
-
Atul Sinha (@5131b69341dc4dc) reported@IBKR Sir I am a account holder of IBKR ,but despite several attempts I am unable to sign tax information document. I have forgotten how is have written my name initially .can you help,I am unable to add funds .
-
Mr Sinatra (@MrSinatra_MDW) reported@grok @IBKR Truthifi has very limited hardcaps and other problems and doesn’t do much.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR Terrible service, perhaps the worst. I've had countless glitches and had my account locked before too.
-
George Wyatt (@gw_wyatthealth) reported@IBKR what have you done to the desktop platform? Tracking trades has become a nightmare. Poor #customer service.
-
Prof.Coin 𝕏 (@Crypto_Educator) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR They grew too fast and their support has always been the weakest link
-
Bubble Trouble (@SkillJoyed) reportedI’ve never been so let down by the UI of any application in my life as I am by @IBKR . I’m serious. Every little tasks rains a parade of bugs. Just do the thing!
-
Dun (@mikegor52933) reported@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 ****
-
One Fib Per Day (@fibscalper) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR They do suck bad I removed all my funds.
-
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝗽™ (@Meeptimelive) reported@TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Llc with liquidity problems nothing to be ashamed of. What factor rate are you looking for?
-
TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported@IBKR Called customer service which was an even worse experience. Rep refused to remove the 3 trades in 5 days limit even though it’s been well over 5 days. She said I’d get a letter re: PDT rules but couldn’t even say how long until those letter go out. She refused to allow me to speak to someone in a decision making capacity and when I asked to have the situation escalated she told me I had to go online and start a ticked…. You guys are a joke and I hope lots of people see this.
