  • _LongVol Daniel B. (@_LongVol) reported

    The platform @IBKR is the absolute worst. Had it not been the one place that accepted my LP/Fund I would have housed it somewhere else. Gonna try to switch it up end of Q1.

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Please your TWS is a slow piece of sh*t

  • LeeSoffel LeeS (@LeeSoffel) reported

    @IBKR Do u realize its impossible to bring up the options window in any of the index ETFs or any semi volatile name? If I try to do it freezes my entire computer. To trade options I have to log off my comp & use my phone. How much longer are u going to pretend this isnt an issue?

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Fix your goddamn charts in TWS! They are all loading slowly. The 10s charts is choppy - the wicks are not loading fast enough! The worst software.

  • aunztrader AUNZ Trader (@aunztrader) reported

    @whitebreadfox @IBKR Then why keep using it? there's a dozen other brokers you can use. Plus it's your computer that's slow, not TWS, it's the most advanced, fastest and reliable trading platform for retail traders.

    @IBKR Hey, your IBKR Client Portal trading system has a serious bug that affects option trading a lot. It forbids user to input negative price number when placing option spread order. Can you fix it asap and give me an ETA? Thanks.
