    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon This is out of desperation contact attempt: Recently opened an IBKR account and trying to transfer in meaningful funding into the said account. Having a glitches and find there is NO WAY to get hold of a real live agent, unlike TOS or many others. How could this be? Please help!

    @IBKR And there is even no way to get this escalated to a senior ops executive. One of the most ineffective ops process and response team and never expected this from @IBKR I am on the verge of closing down the account

    @assface_burner @IBKR $hood is a joke, won’t let you trade with unsettled funds when volatility is elevated like today. Ask me how I know lol. Its slow as hell, has terrible fills. IBKR fills instantly, clearly the superior brokerage

    @IBKR Is there a problem with your trading platform? Just lost ability to trade futures! No one answering phone or chat.

    @IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR

    @SettleKurt @senzu_capital @IBKR The issue seems to have been resolved overnight.

    I have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.

    @BloomDemark @IBKR I tried. It says I don’t have trading permission. Customer service taking forever to pick up

    Stay away from @IBKR. Poor customer service. Even poorer IT dept. No to little concern for clients. No excuse for this level of incompetence.

    @IBKR there is no way you are the #1 rated trading platform. When a client with $1 mm in liquid cash & 20+ years trading experience, and a credit rating of 800+ does not have approval to buy $IBIT you have a problem.

    @AiStockAgent @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.

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon 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

  • dr_otker

    Last 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?

    @IBKR hi, I have a disability support pension and I would like to do trading through you but your platform makes it near impossible and I would hate to think I would have to report you to the a Triple C for discrimination due to income. Perhaps we can work something out

    This weekend will be dedicated to fix my IBKR desktop regular crash, watchlist not saved upon restart and TradingView connection issue. What a nightmare it has been with IBKR. I will leave when my current options positions got clear. It should be by end of the year. @IBKR I think u truly need to catch up with ur dinosaur tech deck, but I am completely fine with the fact that u don’t want to serve tech generation traders.

    @JoachimMo1985 @IBKR @IBKR_Europe I did not get order canceled but I was not able to submit entry orders last night. Got no trading permission error.

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Been waiting a whole month for your Transfer team to reach out to my current broker so they can transfer all of my positions to IBKR. How is this normal? The most rubbish customer service I have ever seen. If you dont help me asap I’m going to cancel my transfer request.

    @IBKR I don't need your advice. Just fix your technology.

    @IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.
