-
Manjit Singh (@ManjitS_India) reported@IBKR Hi, your menu option IVR language accent is beyond understanding for Indian customer care number. Can you keep it Indian accent??
-
super (@super509219312) reported@Alex_Steger_ @IBKR I am on Tasty Schwab Fidelity Hood and IBKR. I mostly trade on Ibkr or tasty or at times Hood. Everyone has their set of problems. But this issue is rather tough one to swallow.
-
senzu_capital (@senzu_capital) reported@JosephW31117119 @IBKR nice, thanks for the update, out of all the errors i have seen this is by far the worst, as you can't really hedge your portfolio (if it persists until the open)
-
DismalDeFi (@DismalDefi) reported@IBKR @Cboe I don’t understand how Interactive Brokers remains in business. They have the world’s worst customer service.
-
James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported@IBKR what maintenance??? App not accessible!!!
-
Colt45.eth (@wilson_eth) reported@TheTechInvest @IBKR The buyer of these is far more likely just playing the pop on the depressed option. Not bad news by any means but probably similar to the $700 tsla calls that keep coming through heavy.
-
Tim (@Tim158930786227) reported@Desi_Trade It’s one of those things I thought would never happen to me… just got notified from IBKR that they are shutting down my account. It’s crazy that they @IBKR does this.
-
subst8nc3 (@subst8nce) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon A company so big and successful, that it went to the trouble of implementing Advanced Charts but cant provide a decent backend to actually load them in the application. Get some real architects, seriously.
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@MichaelENewton1 @nottatowl @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.
-
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@IBKR genius To setup the two factor auth the QR code in the main terminal will be lost because you sign in on your phone f me whoever is in your IT team needs the sack
-
Treize (@TreizeKushrena2) reported@assface_burner @IBKR $hood is a joke, won’t let you trade with unsettled funds when volatility is elevated like today. Ask me how I know lol. Its slow as hell, has terrible fills. IBKR fills instantly, clearly the superior brokerage
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Fix the linux installer for your desktop software @IBKR
-
Mathėus Lonning_ (@RosaYan1019) reported@IBKR You found this out, I'm not in trouble
-
Shandukani (@Shandukani2210) reported@IBKR Hey I've lost my phone and I've changed my number,I can't even login to my account and I got running trades/positions
-
VA (@IndMktTrading) reported@IBKR When your stupid app allows to! WTF is the developer ??
-
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported@super509219312 @IBKR This is obviously a different level of concern and seems to show that they're not being careful about their updates. In the 7yrs of using them, most issues have been the annoying types, not mini heart attack types For me, if there's another major type of issue, then I'm moving
-
Keeping it real (@shelterfrmstorn) reported@IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.
-
Cypher3d (@RealityCypher) reported@IBKR has the worst customer support I've seen for any product/service I've ever used in my entire life. It's honestly breathtaking...
-
FISIONANDOME ⚛️ (@fisionandome) reported@DebraG_Robins @IBKR Yes. The problem is they dump Silver all night long
-
peter (@hfbjg53287314) reported@senzu_capital @IBKR Same issue
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR That’s comforting. Thank you. I was not able to place the trades again when cancellation happened. Support was not reachable. Later I got email saying it was a technical issue on their end.
-
Hyperbolic Discounter (@HyperbolicDisco) reported@SettleKurt @senzu_capital @IBKR The issue seems to have been resolved overnight.
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?
-
Ricky Chen (@ChenRshen3p) reported@IBKR IB Desktop is down, nothing is loading at the moment, any info on that?
-
JKL (@ljzmdg) reported@JoachimMo1985 @IBKR @IBKR_Europe I did not get order canceled but I was not able to submit entry orders last night. Got no trading permission error.
-
Priom.eth (@0xPriom) reported@joemccann @IBKR You are doing god’s work! Ibkr probably has one of the worst apis
-
BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported@IBKR I have... they claimed they are waiting on finra regulatory notice but that is incorrect. That notice was issued 4/20/26 showing effective date 6/4/26. Other brokers are moving quick on this and your web ticket reps are uninformed. Many are waiting on this information. Pls help
-
Lei- レイライト 🐧 🍀 (@nottatowl) reported@Dream_S14 @IBKR me too , and live chat is 404 error @IBKR
-
Sourav Kolay (@ksrv_k) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR very bad experience! My profile access was restricted without any explanations. Contacted customer support multiple times without any response. Totally unethical practice by IBKR!
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
