The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic
-
pastperformer (@pastperformerAU) reported@ilia_el_pro @MaxCarozza @IBKR I had the same issue. Seems like they are scrambling to fill the book.
-
Jasdeep (@jmadan) reported@IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone
-
Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported@CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one
-
Piyush Parmar (@learner_air) reported@IBKR Worst service
-
₿a ElenHODL (@BaElenhodl) reported@IBKR you want to margin call me without notifying me? On a recorded call you said you sent me a notification. I’m telling you I didn’t get one. Had I gotten one, I would have put more liquid in my account! **** you! I can’t win. Everyone wants my money! **** you

miracle-dan (@yunyuntian) reported@IBKR IBKR, I am a refugee and I want to support you, but you use address verification to shut me out.
-
INTER (@Night34Blue) reported@IBKR Hello, I have already completed all requested tasks, uploaded documents, updated my financial profile, completed MiFIR and tax information, and funded my account. However, I am still unable to receive the trading permissions I requested, and I keep receiving only automated responses without a clear explanation or solution. I respectfully ask for a proper manual review of my account by a specialist and clear guidance on exactly what needs to be changed or updated for approval. I have spent a significant amount of time trying to resolve this issue, and if this cannot be resolved properly, I may consider withdrawing my funds and using another broker platform instead. Please review my account carefully and assist me with a real solution. Thank you.

Mr Sinatra (@MrSinatra_MDW) reported@grok @IBKR This feels like vaporware. wtf?
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Your charts are freezing and I am in the middle of a trade. Your software is truly the worst around. Absolute garbage. Anyone not using IB that wants to consider it should runaway. Terrible custmer service and software that acts and feels like it is from the early ninties.
-
chris24.eth 🟦 (@chris24eth) reported@IBKR The last broker to remove PDT restrictions. This number will go down
-
Olivier (@flukigero) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)
-
***** Not CISSP® 🔹 (@0x7fff9) reported@IBKR dam son, I read "Interactive Bonkers" and wanted to ask if you wanted help on cyberz.. but now I realize is "brokers" and feels pep_sad.
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR Thanks but this doesn't and won't work. I don't have my account info so when I call, it rejects me. Why is there no way to fix this I have money in my account but I can't access it
-
Addy Potler (@addypotler) reported@IBKR **** your opportunities. Stay in your damn third world countries.
-
Outlier Capital (@outlierrcapital) reported@IBKR still utterly screwing me. If $*** tanks on earnings today I will be broken...
-
Sr Investidor (@SrInvestidor) reported@IBKR Unfortunately support is not being very helpful, their response is always that there is no ECD and no mitigation and that they are waiting for “the developers response”, we are close to a month wait now, I was hoping you could shake things up a little bit
-
Abbie3 (@abbieelevinegm1) reported@IBKR how do I reach someone in customer service?
-
Ramy Gerges (@ramyggerges) reported@IBKR customer support is abysmal.
-
Wethr.net (@Wethrnet) reportedIf you are an executive at @IBKR or you are @shayne_coplan and you are wondering why your Climate Market volume is in the toilet - consider that your resolution source is DELETING data prior to resolution. You are resolving markets on bad data.
-
Joel - coffee/acc (@JoelDeTeves) reported@IBKR I want to use my own models running on my own hardware. Please provide an MCP server or something other models can connect to
-
KHoloud (@KH_SHx) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your broker Too slow !!
-
John Martin (@jminvesting) reportedI really want to use @IBKR and twice now I've tried to fund and set up an account. Their insistence on you having your phone nearby to check their mobile app for some code every 10 minutes has caused me to give up each time. Awful experience and poor security design.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.
-
LiliAna (@Terranatura4) reported@IBKR Your ticket message returns in error!!
-
James Butler (@jbutlersg) reported@IBKR you guys have the worst most painful sign up process. Even just sent an email to support and even that came up showing an error. Why is it so difficult?
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIf a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?
-
KY (@fixurcough) reported@jzrdan @IBKR Funny cuz I haven’t heard **** about ****
-
kingran (@KingranYama) reportedThe 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?
