    @IBKR This is garbage! I opened a sub-account on May 22nd and deposited funds on May 23rd, but it's still showing as pending on June 1st. I can't trade and have missed many opportunities. The price is already very high. Can't you compensate me? Damn it!😭

    @optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)

    @YYF171ttk @IBKR After couple hours we were able to get some orders filled then the system shutdown again for several hours This time it’s insane 30 hours in and no ETA time on fix

    @vijucat @IBKR Bro I even have a "private" number for bespoke service. I call it, and then he calls the ******* real number which reaches a ******* call center in India... I'm ******* ded.

    @grok @IBKR Truthifi has very limited hardcaps and other problems and doesn’t do much.

    I think @IBKR is the worst website interface and support experience I have ever had. That includes the DMV, gov tax website, etc.

  • JJLDoc
    Jona (@JJLDoc) reported

    .@IBKR You guys are the worst. I set to sell my position with a limit and it passed that limit but no fill. I canceled it and made way lower limit but no sell. Tried many time with no fill. When the IV crashed I put a sell limit it got filled. So pathetic 🙄

    @Sanji_vals @IBKR You can use the second 2Auth with an authenticator app from google or microsoft. Just make sure to connect them with cloud. If you loose your phone, download the app on the new one and login wirh authenticator app. Its really annoying to contact support, which is so difficult.

    If a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?

  • iamshraey_
    Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported

    @IBKR I did that and out of frustration I have written here as they are asking to use my passport when passport is not in one of the options offered for Australia clearly documented in the ticket and screenshot I submitted. They only offer Australian drivers license and then on submission call id type invalid. The tech team on a call just mentions to try again rather than solving the issue and a musical chair game is going on between support and tech folks.

    @IBKR Thanks but this doesn't and won't work. I don't have my account info so when I call, it rejects me. Why is there no way to fix this I have money in my account but I can't access it

    @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)

    @TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Sounds like broke people problems ngl

    @IBKR I find myself having to shut down and restart Traders Workstation twice a day. It is slow and a pain in the ***. I truly have had a terrible experience at IB. Good luck trying to talk to an actual person to get any type of support.

    @IBKR Please help me retrieve my account. Share the step-by-step process? If not, should I close my IBKR account?

    @IBKR IBKR, I am a refugee and I want to support you, but you use address verification to shut me out.

    Hey @IBKR how can you be so good at executions and soooooo bad at pretty much everything else?

    @IBKR lol this hits different when you're already down 40% on some random altcoin, ibkr dashboard just feels too clean compared to watching charts on your phone at 3am

    The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    I have to switch brokers @IBKR has some serious issues with their app. It's like 10x slower than any other brokerage to navigate to trade. Then stop limits don't even work on stocks with a penny spread it's bizarre
