    @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 The last broker to remove PDT restrictions. This number will go down

    @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

    @IBKR Hope you are not in companion with Interactive invest who are the worst scammers on earth.

  • joe365ppm
    Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reported

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

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    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.

  • ramyggerges

    @IBKR customer support is abysmal.

    @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

  • FactPulse93508
    FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported

    @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.

  • KingranYama
    kingran (@KingranYama) reported

    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?

  • MtnMuzz
    Murray Finlayson (@MtnMuzz) reported

    @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?

  • NBee007
    Ten Beers (@NBee007) reported

    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

    Varun Takkar (@varuntakkar01) reported

    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

  • spectrelb
    cryptoworldrich.eth (@spectrelb) reported

    @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.

  • SkillJoyed
    Bubble Trouble (@SkillJoyed) reported

    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.

  • Yogithebearish
    joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @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.

  • alpha_imag8252
    DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported

    @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?

  • Borispov_
    Boris Povolotsky (@Borispov_) reported

    @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??

  • surveyforyou
    Bastiat Knew (@surveyforyou) reported

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

  • iamshraey_
    Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported

    @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.
