Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Someone (@PlatoCosmos) reported@IBKR I am getting beyond fedup of not being able to login into the mobile app, despite repeated attempts. Whats going on??
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR Happened to me too. Multiple orders got canceled. They said it was a technical issue on their end. But it it rather alarming, given that their support is hardly reachable. When situations like this happen, you need support more easily available to deal with it.
-
Jason Appel (@JasonAppel10) reported@IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR
-
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.
-
Sourav Kolay (@ksrv_k) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR very bad experience! My profile access was restricted without any explanations. Contacted customer support multiple times without any response. Totally unethical practice by IBKR!
-
Anssi Alkio (@Anssi_A) reported@simpelspekulant @IBKR Well, Nordea is the "quality" dividend name. Probably of the top banks companies in the world. Not cheap. UPM is interesting for their "hidden" energy holdings. Anora if you believe booze demand will rebound. Saga Furs for deep value play. Many names paying about 4-5%.
-
Arno (@arnoblits) reported@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. I’d appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.
-
Ethics (@ethics3606) reportedI have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.
-
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.
-
0xW 🍌 (@0xWwwwwwww) reported@stoneymonster @TradingThomas3 Cause IBKR is ****. They know their data is wrong (for the past 15+ years), and they don't give a damn. @IBKR
-
Pranesh Ganesh (@gpranesh) reported@IBKR I have trouble logging in as no SMS is being received. Is there an ongoing outage?
-

-
Akhenaton (@holden_commodor) reported@IBKR serioulsy why do you signicantly changed the customer report settings?
-
SpackySpacky (@spactastical) reported@IBKR One of the least aesthetically designed desktops and least intuitive interfaces every made. So bad it actually takes effort.
-
Deepak (@Deepak66259832) reported@IBKR I have recently opened an account with you. I simply do not receive security code over text or phone call. Therefore, cannot login. Whenever I try calling your support helpline, it always says it is busy and I never get an agent on call. Pathetic service. #ibkr
-
speculator (@speculator20221) reported@HalifaxDC @chessdunk @IBKR Yeah they will have to fix it. Let me know what they say if you don’t mind as to what’s happening.
-
Market Mommy (@dontbsalti) reported@trader2179 @IBKR @whop Or IBKR has to explain why there’s a mathematical error in the post that is now deleted.
-
SMH Trading (@MisticTrader) reportedIf 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.
-
Boy Firdaus (@BoyFirdaus75) reported from Banda Aceh, Aceh@IBKR @boyfirdaus75, I Support GCV $315,159🇮🇩, but When will this Dream come true?
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR Please inbox me for more information in and if you're willing to help me fix this issue you shouldn't (discriminate) due to financial capacity and I don't use the word discriminate lightly.
-

-
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me
-
Vlatko (@vlatceS) reportedHey @IBKR any customer support or no such thing in your company?
-
nullnoob (@nu11noo8) reported@unusual_whales closing my @Fidelity account - can’t trust a place that makes stupid i’ll-advised decisions that are clearly disguised to produce indirect layoffs hello @IBKR 👋 I’ll be making an account TODAY
-
jacob (@FreeDrThug) reported@yeaaahzzz @IBKR It’s not terrible at all lol. Which platform do you think best? Or rather list a few that are materially better?
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@senzu_capital @JosephW31117119 @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.
-
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.
-
Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reportedWould 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?
-
KaRan ShAh (@karan_h_shah) reportedIBKR platform down for the last 10 minutes on both desktop and mobile. Anyone else facing this issue? #IBKR #trading @IBKR
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Your desktop software's Linux installer is broken.
