  @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.

  @IBKR I would really appreciate if every response did not say the same thing. Then I would know I am actually talking to a person and not a computer-generated response. That just shows how little you truly care about customer service and why you are in my opinion the worst

  Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reported 22 minutes ago

  I think @IBKR is the worst website interface and support experience I have ever had. That includes the DMV, gov tax website, etc.

  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 26 minutes ago

  IBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.

  @IBKR customer support is abysmal.

  @IBKR **** your opportunities. Stay in your damn third world countries.

  @YYF171ttk @IBKR After couple hours we were able to get some orders filled then the system shutdown again for several hours This time it’s insane 30 hours in and no ETA time on fix

  @IBKR Literally the worst broker imaginable. They block tickers now, they price cap anything remotely volatile, even large caps so you're stuck in a bad trade or can't enter a good one. This broker is anti-success. High fees and trading interference. Run from this broker.

  The AI customer support agents give you useless canned information. These AI agents do not understand the nuances of the qst, which is okay, but refusing to pass the qst to human agents in not okay. @IBKR I pay you guys serious money in commission. Can I get some help?

  Murray Finlayson (@MtnMuzz) reported 33 minutes ago

  @IBKR what is wrong with your website? I set up my account for withdrawals and have sufficient funds. So WHY does the confirmation keep throwing an error? And why is there NOBODY to speak to?

• 
  Ten Beers (@NBee007) reported 34 minutes ago

  I thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading

  I will not be surprised if @RobinhoodApp @Wealthsimple @IBKR and a bunch of other brokerages crash down tomorrow at the launch of $SPCX IPO $HOOD $TSLA $SPCX

  @IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.

• 
  Bubble Trouble (@SkillJoyed) reported 40 minutes ago

  I’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!

  @IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.

  @D3GSolutions @IBKR It takes me less than 1-minute to login to E*TRADE no matter the platform.

• 
  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 44 minutes ago

  @IBKR It is truly the worst. A total pos.

  @IBKR Absolutely worst customer service experience of any company I have ever worked with by far. I hate you guys.

  DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported 47 minutes ago

  @IBKR today I have tried to open TWS in 3 different PCs and it stalls at the "reading layout configuration" screen. I uninstalled the latest version of the software and installed the stable version and had the exact same results. Never had this problem before. I accessed your website and there is no record of such problem currently.

  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 Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?

• 
  Boris Povolotsky (@Borispov_) reported 51 minutes ago

  @hanshaozi @IBKR I’m interested, too. @IBKR Would you at least address this issue publicly and state when do you plan on removing PDT rule??

• 
  Bastiat Knew (@surveyforyou) reported 54 minutes ago

  Hey @IBKR how can you be so good at executions and soooooo bad at pretty much everything else?

• 
  Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported 56 minutes ago

  @IBKR I did that and out of frustration I have written here as they are asking to use my passport when passport is not in one of the options offered for Australia clearly documented in the ticket and screenshot I submitted. They only offer Australian drivers license and then on submission call id type invalid. The tech team on a call just mentions to try again rather than solving the issue and a musical chair game is going on between support and tech folks.
