@TuckSantoro @IBKR Are they targetting certain accounts and removing trading permissions? How is there not a bigger uproar. This happens way to often... I can barely find mention of this error anywhere.

I called @IBKR this morning to speak with customer service regarding an issue with my account. I was waiting (listening to the crappy music) for more than an hour. I got tired and hang up. My question is why have a contact phone number if your customer can not get help via phone?

@IBKR @Tvitoje The system update says all good to go but I can’t even view my holdings or statistics on the app or the browser for almost 12 hrs. Customer service can’t even guarantee it’ll be back up during market hours. Are you kidding me

@MuhInvestingAcc @IBKR How does their platform compare? Does it have a book trader window and most importantly does it freeze or crash on you ever?

@IBKR Thank you for replying. It gives me great comfort after spending 3 hours on the phone without any response that someone is providing customer service. However im being told I don’t have permission to trade. Plz confirm I can trade stocks on the pink market. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

What's worse than draw downs like today? When you have to restart your brokers software in the middle of it. About done with @IBKR's TWS. What's the point of good execution if the damn thing is frozen when you are potentially going to have to execute something... sigh.

@IBKR your customer service needs help. I've been on hold for over and hour and for some reason I'm locked out of my account. This isn't a good way to start our business relationship.

@IBKR You are currently logged in without Trading/Market Data permissions. Hi @IBKR I would like to unlock the feature to trade undeterred by this error. How much extra would it cost me? Willing to pay. Thanks.

@calvinfroedge @IBKR That means asks had dried down. HFT put such trades because they are required to stay in the market at all times. There's simply no market and the order would be canceled after some time.

@IBKR is the worst possible broker in the entire world. Their platform is straight out of the 90's, their support haven't replied to my two tickets that are 2 weeks old, their platform is lagging, it doesn't display live data despite buying it 3 times, nothing is str8forward.
