アサミー (@krell_sophia) reported@IBKR damn, mine's stuck at 1.2%... time to switch?
-
𝔸𝕝𝕘𝕠💥𝕊𝕟𝕒𝕗𝕦 (@AlgoSnafu) reportedIs anyone else experiencing an issue in IBKR TWS where alert lines stop appearing on charts, even though the alerts are still active in the alerts window? I’ve been dealing with this issue for years now ... 😢 @IBKR
-
Dr.Ötker 99%FI 💸 (@dr_otker) reportedLast night @IBKR systems glitched AGAIN and cancelled all my outstanding orders, 17 in total. I just spent more than half an hour resubmitting them thanks to a poor user interface and slow servers. This has happened before a few times and I believe will happen again. So could @IBKR at least offer a way to easily restore the cancelled orders?
-
Haddie (@Haddie168) reported@IBKR @bull_jared39128 Hey IBKR, since you are responding on X now, how about addressing the issue I raised last Monday. Your 10.45.1 forced update broke the TWS RTD. No one from customer service will respond to my support ticket, no one responds to Facebook comment and no one responds to X

Eight Seven (@kjeightyseven) reported@trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why don’t you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.

Nerd_abroad (@Nerd_Abroad) reported@senzu_capital @IBKR Same problem here
-
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR 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
-
Nikita G. 🎲 (@Gorev111) reportedChatGPT, Grok, and Claude are terrible at trading. $REI intelligence is not an LLM, study @rei_labs. It has already been proven profitable by @EclipticaOS. I’m confident that the new version, Rei Core 0.5a, will deliver strong results and significant profits on @IBKR in this experiment.
-
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??
-
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.
-
Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported@IBKR My application U24947179 has been stuck since March 25. Promised same-day resolution, got nothing. Now I'm 403'd from Live Chat so I can't even reach support. No ETA, no update. What's going on?
-
Amit Gandhi (@amitpg) reported@JasonAppel10 @IBKR All brokers have some system issues from time to time ! So, in that respect you can't guarantee 100% reliability anywhere. Still to find a broker that beats IBKR all things taken into account.
-
Forward Capital (UK) Limited (@Forward_Capital) reportedThere have been issues connecting to @IBKR using @tradingview for over a week and no confirmed date for resolving the issue. Can you confirm what is going on?
-
DismalDeFi (@DismalDefi) reported@IBKR @Cboe I don’t understand how Interactive Brokers remains in business. They have the world’s worst customer service.
-
Momo (@Momorenph) reportedGot cucked by IBKR for having limited margin??? The position would have cost 5% of my remaining maintenance margin??? Plz fix @IBKR I wanna lose money
-
Volatility (@EdwardAmar46469) reported@IBKR IBKR sucks horrible desktop and worse mobile app! Cluttered god awful! Switch to $HOOD!
-
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@IBKR genius To setup the two factor auth the QR code in the main terminal will be lost because you sign in on your phone f me whoever is in your IT team needs the sack
-
DC (@HalifaxDC) reported@speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR I think I know why it might have happened to me. There was some kind of form about API Authentication that I was supposed to sign when I logged into the Client Portal a couple of days ago. I was in a hurry, so I passed over it, figured I'd do it later. Apparently, that might have been enough. The worst thing is, for some reason, they cancelled my Stop Loss on the live trade that I was in, but didn't cancel the trade itself (let that one sink in). Luckily, the trade went in my direction a bit, so I was no worse for wear. I still stayed on the phone, on hold, after that, because I was going to give them an earful ... but at the 2.5 hour mark of being on hold, I threw in the towel and hung up.
-
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.
-

-
Billhelm (@Whoandwhere47) reported@IBKR Is this the same IBKR whose clients constantly complain about them on Reddit lol?
-
pastaman📦 (@_pastaman) reported@IBKR Hey I deposit funds from bank to IBKR without a deposit notice. Can't open a ticket or access live chat since your website is down...
-
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!
-
James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported@IBKR what maintenance??? App not accessible!!!
-
Dave 🇨🇦🎧⚛️ ☸️🇬🇧 (@rellim_evad) reported@bclund @IBKR Agreed! They seemed to have changed to an AI customer service system, which seems to struggle with the most basic questions.
-
Agent Smith (@AiStockAgent) reported@BloomDemark @IBKR I tried. It says I don’t have trading permission. Customer service taking forever to pick up
-
Chukwuebuka🇳🇬 (@ChukwuRN) reportedYou can't even open an account with @IBKR because I am a Nigerian. One of the worst feelings I have ever felt this evening. I have no idea why this happened but it is bad. They need to change this policy about Nigeria.
-
NottsStargazer 🔴🚀📈 (@Nottsstargazer) reported@IBKR support is AI slop nonsense. Nobody responds sensibly. Utter garbage.
-
DWmontgomery (@DWpaMont) reported@IBKR bad product
