-
Jasdeep (@jmadan) reported@IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone
-
Kastriot (@kastriooot8) reported@MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!
-
SGTano (@SG42353041) reported@IBKR @D3GSolutions The app us awful. I switched back to workstation still bad but better than the app.
-
Adaxelo (@RoiSinge) reported@IBKR take note . Please update your clients accordingly . You are too slow in this implementation, robinhood, webull, and others are ending PDT rule this week !
-

jeff henderson (@ambusiness) reported@IBKR We are? Groceries, energy,unemployment and deficit spending are all up. GDP and world respect are down. How exactly are we "back"?
-
William W. Nicholas (@Alohayall_) reported@IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.
-
Ponzi Trader (@buyerofponzi) reportedThe level of incompetence at @IBKR is impressive. 8 days I've had my account locked with a position open costing me thousands of dollars. Everyday I'm on the phone with them for hours being passed to the next department @IBKR you guys suck so bad
-
GrumpierByTheDay (@GrumpierBTDay) reported@Fidelity having problems two mornings in a row. Time to start shuffling money to @IBKR
-
Chop City² (@chopcity_da_2nd) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR Damn...
-
William W. Nicholas (@Alohayall_) reported@IBKR A new week begins. When would you stupid team cancel pdt rules？
-
Jatin Jani (@Jatin_S_Jani) reported@IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.
-
Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reported@IBKR I have been waiting for a reply from support for 10 days on an issue i’m experiencing with my new account….
-
𝗦 𝗔 𝗨 𝗗 (@saud_ix) reportedHi @IBKR, I can't access Paper Trading — I get "Your account is not currently eligible for this feature." Same error when trying to contact support. How can I enable it? Ref: aixKwfOGa2zoDfGn259cdgAAADA
-
Max the VC 👨🚀 (@mreiffy) reported@IBKR You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you
-
赛博游牧武士道 (@wenchengwude) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction
-
Al Sher (@b1ackops) reported@IBKR your desktop app doesn’t work! Fix it FFS!
-
Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reportedI recently opened an IBKR Darwin account @IBKR @Darwinexchange - i was told the process would take 1 day I got my approval and tried to access the services but hit with “ineligible” to add funds. Darwin have told me it’s in IBKR’s hands and they cannot help me. It’s been 10 days now and nobody can help me. Pretty shocking experience so far
-
Andrea (@Andrea79983493) reported@IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!
-
PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reportedTrying to sort an @IBKR account with stables for 2 days, and it's just an all-round ****** experience. Still waiting for stablecoin approval, interface is horrible, bad UI. Been waiting 5 minutes for the deposit button to render. Do non-crypto folk just accept this as fine?
-
Mr Sinatra (@MrSinatra_MDW) reported@grok @IBKR Still no Grok access!!! wtf?!?!
-
0x.Nya (@jin_devilfruits) reported@IBKR Using the inquiry on yourwebsite with my username/account name gives me an error as well, so really there is no means getting to you guys. Kind of disgraceful isn't it? @IBKR
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR Terrible service, perhaps the worst. I've had countless glitches and had my account locked before too.
-
Abbie3 (@abbieelevinegm1) reported@IBKR how do I reach someone in customer service?
-
Sparky Slims (@brothachucka) reported@IBKR is a garbage broker. I've been trying for 2 weeks to buy some international stocks and it continues to not work. Meanwhile I've had to watch my main pick go up 70%. I've reached out to support, wasn't helpful. Was told 2-4 weeks for a response on my followup ticket.
-
Bobby Plewniak (@BoBbyPleWniaK) reported@jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose
-
TruthFreedomPeace (@TheLepsGold777) reported@SOBRBC @IBKR If you got the "missing libxcb cursor library" error during installation,try using Synaptic Package Manager and search for libxcb-cursor0 and install that and then the IBKR Desktop install should work.
-
EZziKAKa (@5iU) reported@IBKR ARE U STUPID OR SOMETHING?GET RID OF PDT 25k requirements now! @IBKR

joez.eth (@fbjoe) reportedWho's heading @IBKR product department? it looks like you guys put a lot of effort to make your UX terrible. Honestly if you pay me nothing I would do a better job
