Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • estimatesman Aj (@estimatesman) reported

    @IBKR cannot believe why customer engagement and satisfaction is not a regulated protocol? multiple attempts to address this simple initiative, interactive Brokers... Obviously IMPOSSIBLE and NON EXISTENT

  • rhlaggarwal CricFinTwit (@rhlaggarwal) reported

    @IBKR not allowing to trade on NSE since yesterday closing, pathetic services - zero customer support. Please DO NOT trade with them in India

  • 6_Figure_Invest Vance Harwood (@6_Figure_Invest) reported

    @negativeyield @IBKR I'd give them a call. Obviously, their software wasn't ready for the reverse split but they're probably aware that the problem is on their side.

  • KellyJohnsonFX Kelly Johnson (OTC 'n Crypto @ Discord) (@KellyJohnsonFX) reported

    @KadinKerns I often have good OTC tickers, but wait to sell for too long. I am trying hard not to sell now, considering what might come. The problem is, @IBKR has it labeled a 'reduce only' stock so I can't buy back in lower if I wanted to. $GGII

  • FrankiJEinstein Alex (@FrankiJEinstein) reported

    @IBKR you have the worst customer service in the world. Contacting you is impossible, as your website will give you an error every time I try to send you an email, while calling you is like waiting an answer from god. So far, I haven’t heard back from both of you.

  • laroche1246 Laroche Avril (@laroche1246) reported

    @IBKR You guys have the worst customer service in the market. I have 3 trading accounts with various companies and your wait times are always extremely long. Hire some more people!

  • declanG93 Declan-G (@declanG93) reported

    Does anyone know why @IBKR have closed trading on @AZFLUS ?? Trying to add to my position and it’s saying I can only close my position. Anyone else having this issue l? $AZFL $IBKR #AZFL #IBKR

  • PaixTrader Paix Trader (@PaixTrader) reported

    @AdlinLing @IBKR nice. yeah, IBKR. was ticked there was no availability on $moxc either. i tried a few $amc puts. bit spready but not too bad. i found this week challenging - +$900 on wk.

  • Asaf_katz Asaf Katz (@Asaf_katz) reported

    @IBKR are hitting new highs in poor customer support

  • marjavascript Mar Java (@marjavascript) reported

    Thanks @ibkr for calling me and closing my position in profit. But dont ******* shut down the app at 12.40 ffs

  • LaurenZannah Lauren (@LaurenZannah) reported

    @IBKR FYI you can just buy 1/10 of a bitcoin, they go down to a hundred millionth (a satoshi).

  • Asaf_katz Asaf Katz (@Asaf_katz) reported

    @BrianFeroldi And try to get @IBKR to answer a support ticket! Now that’s friction (been waiting over 3 weeks now)

  • RichAndFineMan RichAndFineMan (@RichAndFineMan) reported

    @IBKR your TWS for windows has gone frustratingly slow. It hangs so much especially since the last week update. I suffered losses because TWS froze. It's pissing me off. I've tried more than required memory allocation. Every other application on my computer runs perfectly smooth.

  • haroon_sohrab Soh (@haroon_sohrab) reported

    @lake_resources can you sort out the issue we’re facing on @Trading212 and @IBKR, we’ve not been able to trade the stock for months and you’re not taking an action on it! And NO the issue is not with the brokerages I contacted both they confirmed #stocks #otc

  • UAE @UAE (@UAE) reported

    @IBKR Becarful the worst in the world choose any other broker please.

  • ChinaStockPro JoeNatural (@ChinaStockPro) reported

    Love the @IBKR platform, but HATE the customer service. As usual, I get a representative on the phone and they have NO clue whatsoever.

  • MarkZik Mark Zik (@MarkZik) reported

    @IBKR These could be a real problem with leverage to manipulate price.

  • tigger80265330 tiggertradersixtyniner (@tigger80265330) reported

    @IBKR Ahh yes, the layout library! Amazing! We didn't want a platform that could plot a chart with a study and not freeze when zooming out... or a platform that didn't have to be shut down at least once a day because it was terrible at memory management... nah... we wanted the library!

  • tak_ohara Tak Ohara (@tak_ohara) reported

    @AdriaticMetals @IBKR Hi, I’m (my company) a shareholder and use InteractiveBrokers. Not sure what the issue is, but should I take some sort of action??

  • James56487175 Keyser Soze (@James56487175) reported

    @calvinfroedge @IBKR Best platform for retail/retirement account investing IMO. Until you need customer service help, then be prepared to wait on hold for hours.

  • marjavascript Mar Java (@marjavascript) reported

    I have natgas 3x long leveraged position that I need to close within an hour ******* help me out here @ibkr

  • FrankiJEinstein Alex (@FrankiJEinstein) reported

    @IBKR Good. Maybe I’ll try and get one, so that finally, when I try to withdraw, I won’t be getting an error from your app.

  • icerovski Ivan (@icerovski) reported

    @IBKR Dear IB, it's been 6 months and you still haven't completed a transfer of one of my accounts that you initiated. Oh, and since it is in a "transition" status for that time, it is effectevely blocked and I still can't trade with it. Please FIX CLIENT SERVICES!

  • Charlotte4Puss Charlotte (@Charlotte4Puss) reported

    @IBKR how do I speak with someone? Getting an error when trying to buy, despite best attempts I can’t resolve it myself.

  • vigneshsekar85 vignesh sekar (@vigneshsekar85) reported

    @IBKR not getting my one time password and at this very moment I want to close a trade and you will ask prof when I call later and say technical issues are bound to happen and will ask for proof and such a terrible service for a fee which you guys are stealing.

  • sari126789 ساري الحنيطي (@sari126789) reported

    @IBKR I have been trying to contact any one in customer service to follow up on a transferred amount to my account for over 3 months now! I sent dozens of emails without any reply! No one is replying! I transferred money and it's not showing! What do you suggest?

  • wob_ble Wobble (@wob_ble) reported

    @James56487175 @calvinfroedge @IBKR Only thing I don’t like about IBKR is the customer service and the commissions on options trades. Wish they had a cap on options commissions like tastyworks

  • mleary6 mleary6 (@mleary6) reported

    @IBKR You know it's bad when the add shows a #chemtrail sky.

  • JorgeBull3 JorgeBull (@JorgeBull3) reported

    @AdlinLing @IBKR My broker is notoriously bad at never having shares available to short. So frustrating to see a great setup, then get shut down

  • b_genetics DarkBGenetics (@b_genetics) reported

    @puppyeh1 @IBKR If Fe $ go down to 140, the income until 2026 is equal to the market cap...all these infrastructure plans all over the world gonna need some iron, those shipyards full of container orders (see $fro.no Q1 report) gonna need a lot of iron and all those O&G projects need it too
