    @IBKR How does someone get help with account setup? it looks like only bots working here.

  • DeAngeloDeShon It’s Weirdo (@DeAngeloDeShon) reported

    @IBKR playing with my cash account with my options trading come on now I like y’all but wtf I shouldn’t be getting margin messages and orders rejected on a cash account

  • JuanAlonsoHz Juan Alonso (@JuanAlonsoHz) reported

    @alluvialcapital I'm sadly relieved to know that I'm not the only one with 3w+ old support tickets... I find it very surprising that I get better support from other companies for issues related to $10 purchases than from @IBKR.

  • SMBA1980 ابو عبدالله (@SMBA1980) reported

    @IBKR Gents, I appreciate your help to get my account activated and approved, my account still pending for approval. The application of account has been submitted back on 13 Dec 20. Thank you in advance .

  • GreenlandLee Lee Greenland (@GreenlandLee) reported

    @Impactivated @IBKR Same problem money has disappeared from account and can’t get a reply to a email of chat

  • BarbaraGDingle Barbara Geels-Dingle (@BarbaraGDingle) reported

    @IBKR how do you get support? I have been on hold for 45 minutes and the chat doesn’t work either. I’m a Folio customer trying to login and it’s not working

  • mobinaut Jason (@mobinaut) reported

    @IBKR ...not sure what's wrong with the web client...but P&L or Unrealized etc do not load properly! sometimes at all. Other users also face the same issue. It's getting ANNOYED.....every reload or "sorting" the columns the values keep changing

  • AJ_Prasad8 AJ Prasad (@AJ_Prasad8) reported

    @IBKR Support has been non-responsive....I am unable to short fractional shares...says "Unknown Error"...Phone, chat, and ticket support is unresponsive...

  • InvestorMagoo Investor Magoo (@InvestorMagoo) reported

    @IBKR you guys need to fix your customer service! I can't get hold of you. Two days without being able to trade. Unacceptable!

  • Dr_Noooooo DrNo (@Dr_Noooooo) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR Premier trading technology?! You cannot even login from 2:25 to 3pm most days.

  • Frankan54902403 Frank and Beans (@Frankan54902403) reported

    @IBKR I sat on hold waiting for support with a money transfer for 30 minutes yesterday before giving up and have been on hold 30 minutes again today. I sent a message via the Message Center and got an extremely unhelpful response.

  • BrentLindberg brent lindberg (@BrentLindberg) reported

    @IBKR Message for Thomas P. You were perplexed on CNBC why you don't have more clients. I tried years ago to set up an account and it was way to difficult to sign in and use your platform. When I called with questions your overseas support was abysmal. I guarantee that's the reason.

  • Traderhankhill Traderhank (@Traderhankhill) reported

    You might be wondering why I chose the Feb options to scalp on $TSLA into close and not next weeks. It's a simple matter of being on my cell phone and @IBKR not loading the damn option chain. So I had to buy something I previously held today 🥲

  • otokesan O To Ke-san (@otokesan) reported

    Interactive Brokers @IBKR liquidated my entire non-leveraged position because there was no petty cash on the account to cover a tiny maintenance fee. Thank you guys. I will be deleting my account very shortly. Unbelievable.

  • Malicestone PK (@Malicestone) reported

    @IBKR No, not at all. There are two support tickets, the first one from Dec 22 2020. No answer until now.

  • InvestorMagoo Investor Magoo (@InvestorMagoo) reported

    @IBKR outrageous that we can't get hold of customer service! 2 days unable to trade...and my issue not close to being solved. Unacceptable.

  • mobinaut Jason (@mobinaut) reported

    @IBKR why so shitty Support? online chat...waiting for hours...no response. Phone support....35mins and counting!!! Web client ... inconsistent value display...some times showing and some other times not showing them all!!! WTF!!!!

  • sadiksidhu3 Sadik Sidhu (@sadiksidhu3) reported

    @IBKR I’m planning on switching from @Questrade, @IBKR help me get any data for $AMRHW and my money is yours.

  • IrvingSoh Irving Soh (@IrvingSoh) reported

    @IBKR's customer hotline is trash. Guy picked up the phone, immediately disconnected - after I waited for 1 hr to get to actually talk to someone. Great brokerage rates and commission. Disgusting call center.

  • investorog10 investorog (@investorog10) reported

    @IBKR my client portal is so slow I can’t even load the support page. The whole portal crashes around US market open every day.

  • soniamehtaus soniamehta (@soniamehtaus) reported

  • dudleyfoster Dudley Foster (@dudleyfoster) reported
