    I'm going to vote that they add @IBKR support to @edgeful. ๐Ÿฆพ What other brokers would you want to see support for? ๐Ÿ‘‡

    @aleabitoreddit @labubu_trader @IBKR I totally concur that #IBKR UI is trash, also the response time for navigating and waiting for things to load is just intolerable. Please upgrade the infra and spend some money to fix!

    Maria Mednikova (@MednikovaM64181) reported

    Tried to use @IBKR app to buy some QQQ and it was such a bad experience. This is my first time investing so it was overwhelmingly complicated. I put in an application at @public but haven't heard anything back. Their app looks so much easier!

    Hey @IBKR any customer support or no such thing in your company?

  • dr_otker
    Dr.ร–tker 99%FI ๐Ÿ’ธ (@dr_otker) reported

    Last night @IBKR systems glitched AGAIN and cancelled all my outstanding orders, 17 in total. I just spent more than half an hour resubmitting them thanks to a poor user interface and slow servers. This has happened before a few times and I believe will happen again. So could @IBKR at least offer a way to easily restore the cancelled orders?

    @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.

    @JasonAppel10 @IBKR All brokers have some system issues from time to time ! So, in that respect you can't guarantee 100% reliability anywhere. Still to find a broker that beats IBKR all things taken into account.

    If you're tired of spam calls and you don't want to pay for a streaming music service, just call @IBKR and sit on hold. You can stay connected for a long time before they answer and you won't receive any spam calls. win/win.

    @SixSigmaCapital @IBKR It works well for me, sometimes has some bugs, kinda annoying but the others are worst

    @IBKR Locked out of account. Software & telephone of no help. Artificial Intelligence consulted. Nothing works.

    This weekend will be dedicated to fix my IBKR desktop regular crash, watchlist not saved upon restart and TradingView connection issue. What a nightmare it has been with IBKR. I will leave when my current options positions got clear. It should be by end of the year. @IBKR I think u truly need to catch up with ur dinosaur tech deck, but I am completely fine with the fact that u donโ€™t want to serve tech generation traders.

    IBKR platform down for the last 10 minutes on both desktop and mobile. Anyone else facing this issue? #IBKR #trading @IBKR

    @IBKR The worst customer service EVER! I started an application on Thursday 3/19 and I already hate you. Was denied trading permission for futures on a cash account. Nobody can tell me why I was denied or what the requirements to trade futures are.

  • wilson_eth
    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.

    @IBKR hey yo, settled DRS transfer not received after 10 business days, ticket system unresponsive. Phone call got hung up, all tickets are AI, no customer service. Like WTF, guys stay a mile from this broker if you can

    @GeorgeFChahine @IBKR I might open an $IBKR account. I have heard great things and schwab is slacking a bit in their customer service

    @IBKR hi, I have a disability support pension and I would like to do trading through you but your platform makes it near impossible and I would hate to think I would have to report you to the a Triple C for discrimination due to income. Perhaps we can work something out

  • Drcamole
    AngryPhysicist, PhD. (@Drcamole) reported

    @IBKR To issue a web ticket, I need to sign in, but my issue to start with is related to my inability to sign in. Possible to PM me and provide me some contact information in the form of an email or phone number to call that provides me a human to speak to who can verify me.

    @IBKR I shouldn't have to say I have billions when I have a disability support pension and just want to get a foot up. I also want to invest in a company that I believe in that will help a project hopefully

  • arnoblits

    @CharlesSchwab @IBKR Today during the extreme volume spikes, the Java client completely locked up, preventing me from broadcasting closing orders to the exchange via AT. Iโ€™d appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.

    @IBKR if you think I'm going to shut up. If you ignore me you've got a whole different problem. I will not back down or shut up until some responses found and a resolve of this issue is met

    @assface_burner @IBKR $hood is a joke, wonโ€™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

    @IBKR Gee I canโ€™t imagine how this could be terrible.

    @IBKR's customer support in india is literally non existent. nobody is willing to help and resolve my queries. Kindly help enable permission for trading and override the cooling period. Also there is no acknowledgement or confirmation of money transfer as well

    @joemccann @IBKR You are doing godโ€™s work! Ibkr probably has one of the worst apis
