So when did IB stop paying interest on cash? Been raising cash and noticing no incoming interest flows, IB says 0.00%-- error? Apparently I've been oblivious to the changes. @IBKR

@IBKR Quick answer, NO for #IBKR, they will not let you sell your shares because of liquidity problems. Big NO.

@IBKR What a terrible company. Allow 30% margin on a ****, then after that drops 43% in 7 weeks you remove all the margin with NO notice. No bulletin, no email, and you do it after hours. Spoke to someone who said "I don't know why, the computer just does it" WTF IS WRONG W/ YOU?

@IBKR I've spoken to your customer service reps twice over the past week about withdrawing cash (after being on hold for a very long time). Both have given me incorrect information and you're holding MY money.

@IBKR The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Have left several inquiries on messaging service with no reply for days/weeks, called several times and held for at least 40 minutes with no one picking up! Is nearly impossible to get any issue raised and resolved. Terrible!

@IBKR utterly disappointed at your customer service. I am waiting for the last 1.5 hour on the call ! Some one attended after 60 minutes and have put me on hold since another 30 minutes !! Pathetic service !!

@DanielDDamian @IBKR No. Still outstanding. There are six transfer options and no human interaction. I think I have narrowed it down. But still no response from IBKR in any meaningful sense. They haven't called me nor contact me directly. We are one of 720k clients.

@IBKR Hello, I am trying to develop a front end application for the client portal API. However when I launch the java gateway, I cannot authenticate my account, it always reports invalid user pass combo, even though I can login to the production app. Suggestions?

2/2 @IBKR #FAIL continued ... To transfer funds between my own accounts, I need to use my bank account? Using Safari on MBP, the "bot" won't let me send a message to Support ! Tried a different browser & my session expired abruptly before I could compose my message! 👎

Anyone have the issue of @IBKR reporting cost basis incorrectly for a number of options on the 1099-B? If so, were you able to solve without manually entering all the data?
