    @CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one

    @IBKR your making life very hard for internationals to start a 1k till 100k challenge.. been trying to get in contact with someone to help for over a month now, and no response. I funded the account and placed every requirement. And still facing this problem.

    @hanshaozi @IBKR I’m interested, too. @IBKR Would you at least address this issue publicly and state when do you plan on removing PDT rule??

    @Dilpree28887118 @IBKR A lot of distress and frustration. There's absolutely no reason for them to block my access to my accounts. It's unethical. The affected customers. They must be sued, and an ALERT must be issued to customers to avoid the BAD SERVICE and disrespect of this trap called ibkr.

    @IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic

    Ugh, calling @IBKR for the 13th time in 10 business days to try and resolve what I believe to be a simple issue 😡

    @RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Go read recent YouTube comments and hear Chris Camillo describing how terrible a user experience he has with your app. You give truly terrible customer experiences, and yet so many of us want to use your services for international trades. Level up!!

    @IBKR Sorry for my question but I'm out of the loop on BTS and Jikook news because I've had a terrible headache. Are Rm, Jin and Suga in Paris? I only saw V, Hope and Jk stuff in Paris.

    Hey @IBKR how can you be so good at executions and soooooo bad at pretty much everything else?

  • TT_stocks_
    The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR Worst customer service in history I’m not joking. Took them (6) months to reach out to me about my inquiry about a simple rebate on my $371,000 in commissions I spent. At the end of it all they said there is nothing they can do. ******* worthless

  • StrategicDegen
    Strategic Degen (@StrategicDegen) reported

    I lost about $5k yesterday due to liquidation. I tried moving $5k to @IBKR, but it failed despite having cash in my checking account. I don’t blame anyone; this is part of the game. Losing $5k after locking in $65k gains last month is insignificant. I always ensure I have enough buying power and SMA. My mistake was opening a large $HIVE.NE short put that eroded most of my buying power as collateral. Even though it will only use half of that collateral for margin maintenance, it used full cost as requirement until assignment. Was it risky? Maybe I was set to lock in $5k from that play yesterday if the price didn’t drop. The lesson is to avoid selling short puts that erode buying power. Buying shares is better on margin. Next week, I’ll have more buying power to buy back $EOSE, average down on $HIVE, and buy $KEEL (hopefully below $5 when Asia gets crushed Sunday and overnight due to leverage). I optimized my tax lot for $EOSE to ensure as part of that liquidation, it took out shares that had gains instead of FiFO or LILO. This way I work around wash sale if I buy back shares within the next 30 days. DONT FRET, sill on track to $1M this year. I’m buying next week 😈

    @IBKR Thanks but this doesn't and won't work. I don't have my account info so when I call, it rejects me. Why is there no way to fix this I have money in my account but I can't access it

    Has anyone else had issues with Trading Permissions for US penny stocks on @IBKR? Their customer support isn't the best either... way too slow.
