  • DividendMil
    DividendMillennial (@DividendMil) reported

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

  • ThinkFinance999
    Paulo Santos (@ThinkFinance999) reported

    @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Typically, no. You might exceeding the number of KRW you need to buy, and if you're in Europe, new stupid regulation (for which Europe is famous) won't let you buy even 1 KRW in excess if you have any margin anywhere. Reduce how many KRW you're buying and try again.

    Everyday I resent @IBKR's desktop app team using Java for the UI. It's great for them and terrible for all users. From the login to maximizing the app to the slowest column reorder in the world, it all sucks.

  • Forward_Capital
    Forward Capital (UK) Limited (@Forward_Capital) reported

    There have been issues connecting to @IBKR using @tradingview for over a week and no confirmed date for resolving the issue. Can you confirm what is going on?

  • RichPinks
    Rich Pinks (@RichPinks) reported

    Just keep $AMC above $1 until shorts crack, that's it, that's all you have to do. @IBKR showed me 11112.2 Bil shares traded volume today. The glitch better have my money, that's all I'm saying. ABOVE ONE DOLLAR. I like that discount, count me in. The Box Office will bring $$$$$$$

  • the1Gert
    JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported

    @AiStockAgent @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.

    @IBKR How to get that. I am a customer and haven’t got any interest on my cash balance. I think that asterisk mark is where the devil is

  • Blue_1Trades
    J (@Blue_1Trades) reported

    @IBKR Why does your platform run so awful. Also, I did an ACH transfer into my account that I initiated on Friday and the funds aren't settled in my account. Also, the UI and website are so buggy. You guys need to step up your game. What's the deal? @CharlesSchwab settles my funds after 2 business days. What is the deal ?

  • speculator20221
    speculator (@speculator20221) reported

    Anybody just have $IBKR cancel all their open orders? @IBKR Apparently a widespread issue right now and trading permissions disabled.

  • karan_h_shah

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

  • binaycjha
    Binay Jha (Chartered Accountant) (@binaycjha) reported

    @JacobMcGrew6 @IBKR Yes. It was a system issues which they are trying to resolve. But you need to call them and they need to reset all the accounts to make it work. After that you need to logout and login again.

    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!

  • super509219312
    super (@super509219312) reported

    @one_foothurdle @IBKR That’s comforting. Thank you. I was not able to place the trades again when cancellation happened. Support was not reachable. Later I got email saying it was a technical issue on their end.

    @IBKR Fix the linux installer for your desktop software @IBKR

    @Alex_Steger_ @IBKR I am on Tasty Schwab Fidelity Hood and IBKR. I mostly trade on Ibkr or tasty or at times Hood. Everyone has their set of problems. But this issue is rather tough one to swallow.

  • sgoranova82
    Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reported

    Would not recommend @IBKR to anyone at the moment. Locked out of trading account due to a system bug for a week. No one able to give an answer when this is fixed or resolved. No apologies, compensation or updates. Lousy customer care. Who is the regulatory body in the US?

    @IBKR You found this out, I'm not in trouble

  • _pastaman

    @IBKR Hey I deposit funds from bank to IBKR without a deposit notice. Can't open a ticket or access live chat since your website is down...

  • one_foothurdle
    One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported

    @super509219312 @IBKR It is very annoying. But in all honesty. It is the first time in a very long time that I have experienced a technical problem with @IBKR

  • alanxyz129

    Interactive Brokers seems to have lost my deposit. They already had my bank details and names but the customer services insist on asking me to provide proof of transfer again, otherwise they won't look into it. Is it strange? @IBKR @IBKR_Europe

  • blackjack_god
    BlackjackGod (@blackjack_god) reported

    @IBKR 24 hour access sounds like edge until you price 3 things: carry, margin calls, and overnight gaps. More table hours only help if your read survives the next open.

  • TheBigBerbowski
    TheBigBerbowski (Jebaim) (@TheBigBerbowski) reported

    @SixSigmaCapital @IBKR Did you submit deposit request first, and sent money after? Stupid question I know, but if not done in this very order it can cause hours of delays with your deposits.

    @IBKR “Hi, I tried everything but still can’t deposit funds. No proper guidance. Please help with steps.”

    @IBKR what maintenance??? App not accessible!!!

  • sg_princess_sg
    SGPrincess | 土皮公主 (@sg_princess_sg) reported

    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 don’t want to serve tech generation traders.

    @DebraG_Robins @IBKR I used mine a few hours ago m everything was fine , I use the web page on ipad. I have the app. but don’t use that. I have occasionally had issues seeing portfolio in past but refreshing usually sorted , once I had to logout and in again.

    @IBKR Sorry for bringing the average down.
