  @IBKR I’m experiencing a thin liquidity issue. Your platform doesn’t have enough liquidity to trade $EME

  Just found out: even maxed on margin @IBKR, you can still buy MORE shares. Hedged my $TNZ shares w/ buying cheap Sept 2026 $16 puts (lost money on puts, but ROI god-tier). Drops initial/maintenance margin ~20-25%, giving the space to load more (of TNZ before it reaches CAD50+)

  I attempted to set-up an account with @IBKR Interactive Brokers. Successfully made it to the point where test deposits were made to my bank account. 1) Login to verify the transactions. "Your account not elligible... 2) Attempt to reach support thru their email. 3. You can't email, you must use chat. 4) Attempt to use chat. 5) You must login to your account to use chat. 4) Attempt to login and get the response "Your application has been cancelled" 5. Sigh. 6. Call live support. 7) "We can't help you. You'll need to start a new application with a new username." 8) Enter my information with a new username. 9) "You already have one or more existing open accounts. Log into Client Portal to open additional accounts." But I can't login. 10. Return to step 4. 11. Repeat until death. IB may not say they've outsourced their operations to the DMV, but there will be signs.

  @ozgsol @solana @IBKR > To deposit YOUR money into YOUR brokerage account, you have to tell the bank WHICH stock you want to buy and at WHAT PRICE because you have to spend the full deposit amount. wtf

  @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR The IBKR app has what is called a memory visibility bug. I base this on their Java example code for their API and my experience with Java. I have had fills go missing regularly from their desktop app.

  @IBKR you must have the dev make cookies or settings that persist across logins/devices. I don't need to see the toast notification about connections to other corps every single time I login until the rest of my life.

  @mikeoniron @IBKR Worst support in the industry. Actually, I dont remember ever calling any other broker for technical issues except them.

  @zerohashx @avax @IBKR 1. Where can I find instructions on how to deposit to IBKR via Zerohash? 2. How can I reach your support? My profile has been under review for ages.

  @rogerhamilton apparently utilization has dropped from 97% back to 68% on @IBKR while so has been going down. Seems suspicious @JWesChristian

  Mike Lifts (@mikeoniron) reported 47 minutes ago

  One does not simply call @IBKR for support and get an answer. The hold music is being etched into my brain…. Minute by minute. But today is the day I hold until I get an answer. Too many lost hours. Zero productivity until this is done. Sometimes you just got to make something a priority to make it happen.

  @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Yeah I've got them fixing a bug in adaptive algo, takes persistence.

  @IBKR your help line is beyond useless. It needs help. Have been hung up on 3x after being on hold 20-30mins today.

  Uranium Chicken ☢️🐔 🇺🇸 (@FredSan37316166) reported 58 minutes ago

  @IBKR Why is your platform the worst of all platforms? Zero support, ridiculously obnoxious requirement to install a phone app just to login? 1990's GUI? 5-10 sec delay every time you click something? Broken withdraw system that wont send notifications to your phone but then says you've exceeded withdrawals for the month? 🤡🤡🤡

  Dean G (@DeanGereg) reported 58 minutes ago

  @IBKR To be specific - the web platform is crap (I cannot talk to other options) it logs you out within minutes, and customer support is non existent, and when you finally navigate and send them the issue, they never respond. The mobile phone IB is more stable, but the options prices are not real time - ypu all need to pay more for that privilege. Thank god I never sent them significant funds to invest with them 🙏🏻 Ah they flip me some stuff to read lol lol wont waste my time. Low tier brokerage. You have leas than 5% of my money and soon zero.
