  • cap_ou_pacap Dubsize (@cap_ou_pacap) reported

    @IBKR Hey - This morning I am not receiving the SMS to connect to TWS or getting it after like 20 minutes. Any issue on your sms provider side ?

  • Mark21114808 Mark (@Mark21114808) reported

    @IBKR I haven't been able to trade for the past 2 hours because the IB server reset is failing today, maybe IB should sort out it's existing products before offering new ones?

  • EmilySnowBks Emily Snow (@EmilySnowBks) reported

    @DrEyesOnOTC @IBKR I keep getting error messages as well.

    @IBKR I send my residency proof by email, but nobody replies after one day. Uploading the file in your website gives an error.

    @housing_human @IBKR @CharlesSchwab That said, you may get the same or better support from TD and their interface is superior; guess it would hinge on Schwab checking/debit/credit card offers and your familiarity with each interface. I refuse to use brokerages with bright-colored clients, so Schwab gets a knock

  • dfresh1001 doug henry (@dfresh1001) reported

    @NoGmicks @IBKR Lmao I agree if you did it without help.. but in total it took me 2hrs to set up wire and buy… but I did cheat and call to get help to avoid the mess… had a great person help me.

  • housing_human Housing Is A Human Right (@housing_human) reported

    @averygrrl @IBKR @CharlesSchwab There used to be some service .... Now it is almost "**** you". I raised a concern that they are keeping trades inhouse / not posting them on the exchange (there is free money and a clear arb in the trade). Their answer - do whatever you want, we will not be looking into this

  • TheBostonView The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported

    Worst user interface and trading screens online: @Vanguard_Group Worst mobile app that has had unfixed problems since forever: @Fidelity Worst trade history and account reporting functionality: @IBKR

  • donweidner Don Weidner (@donweidner) reported

    @IBKR Ah-ha… this is why you sent me multiple emails telling me you don’t support transfers to Coinbase.

  • Shack_SI Shack (@Shack_SI) reported

    @IBKR You are offline, no data at all on TWS or TWS mobile. Help?

  • PanagiotisVent1 Red_Flag (@PanagiotisVent1) reported

    @IBKR No thanks. I had an awful experience in the past.

  • TravisMooreB Travis B. Moore (@TravisMooreB) reported

    @IBKR Markets crash, will more people flock to Crypto?

  • TheBostonView The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported

    It's 2021 of the 21st century and you cannot get trade history for an individual security off the screen or in accounts at @IBKR. How nuts is that? Even @Vanguard_Group and @Fidelity, whose apps and user interfaces are awful, can give you that pretty easily in accounts.

  • Muneeb57106077 Unclescrooge (@Muneeb57106077) reported

    @Trading212 @IBKR @lake_resources $llkkf blocked since feb FEB absolutely disgusting either let us sell or unblock it can’t believe it’s taken this long and yet you guys ignore customer Complaints. Absolute robbery in broad daylight. What if I needed the money oh Yeh it’s blocked

  • Falkenby Falant (@Falkenby) reported

    @Bobocr1 @IBKR Yes. Servers down.

  • _mumbling_me The Portfolio Trader (@_mumbling_me) reported

    @jameswhelan42 @IBKR I tried all that. Callled support they agreed that "we have an issue we r trying to fix it."

  • Notsmoking2 Sabado J. Domingo, Esq. LLC (@Notsmoking2) reported

    @JudySma89477534 @IBKR Yeah. "IMPORTANT: Due to a technical issue clients may be unable to access our Account Management system. We are working to address the issue." See if TWS works for you, it was working last night.

  • BradyJBolton BRADY B◎LT◎N (@BradyJBolton) reported

    @IBKR Your servers are down.

  • deeeeNow Dorji (@deeeeNow) reported

    @IBKR What laptop or desktop is recommended for interactive software? It is possible to trade and invest without downloading software? The software I downloaded seems to slow down my laptop.

  • Scouting4Gold Golden Ticket (@Scouting4Gold) reported

    @IBKR No point in using your service, because you won't approve me for options trading.

  • TheBostonView The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reported

    Data is down at @IBKR, verification app throws error message, help email interface throws error message, even Read Only does not have data. And there is no way to contact @IBKR as usual. They make it really hard. System status says "all fine." But that is not true.

  • diegos0 ---- (@diegos0) reported

    @ConSngLLoi1 @litecoin @IBKR and with mental problems

  • 514Easy M T L (@514Easy) reported

    @IBKR Your website and platform are down

  • unemon1 unemon (@unemon1) reported

    @IBKR systems seems to have now been down for over two hours! I guess they were not prepared for this market volatility. Does this make $IBKR a good short tomorrow morning?

  • DrEyesOnOTC Dr Nathan (@DrEyesOnOTC) reported

    @IBKR anyone having issues placing trades today? My funds are cleared today and getting an error message when I try to place a trade! $GVSI
