    @OverWeightStock @IBKR But the worst customer service!

    @FredrikEJohans2 @IBKR @CFTC It eventually got corrected after several hours, had to test it every 15min. But never got a notification on why it happened or when it was supposed to be resolved. Submitted a complaint to the CFTC regardless, super unprofessional reckless

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR I hate their UX, terrible for trades

    @IBKR Hello IBKR Support Team, I'm from Indonesia and need your help accessing my IBKR account. I'm unable to set up Two-Factor Authentication (IBKR Mobile Authentication). When I try to log in, I can't complete the security verification process, so I'm locked out of my account.

    @IBKR what is wrong with your website? I set up my account for withdrawals and have sufficient funds. So WHY does the confirmation keep throwing an error? And why is there NOBODY to speak to?

    @IBKR Absolutely worst customer service experience of any company I have ever worked with by far. I hate you guys.

    I have never had a such a bad experience setting up a new brokage account @IBKR I fund it I choose the light plan but they give them the Pro plan that include commissions. So all my test trades pulled commissions today. I tried to enable trading for leveraged etfs they denied me won't say why, so i get to wait another 30 days to try again. Man if i had any other choice i would just withdraw the money move on but i don't.

    @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.

    @IBKR Yeah this pump's transparent as **** no hidden fees just straight pressure. That's why barely any callback like I posted, Sol guys squeezing it clean. Chinese holders mostly jumped mid way though.

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Another week passed. GET RID OF THE GOD DAMN PDT RULES!!! What makes you so slow? Inability?

    @IBKR maybe fix your damn servers?

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    @IBKR No I'm moving to another brokerage. It's 2026 I'm not submitting web tickets when I'm trading $100k positions. You guys can pick up a phone like every other normal brokerage. Take some tips from Schwab and you guys need better customer service, app UX and really everything.

    @IBKR Terrible

  • Yishai__Cohen
    Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reported

    After @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).

    @IBKR Boston might come out okay down the road but in no way did they win this trade.

    @IBKR can you please fix your systems? Gosh it's market open and not being able to login to manage our trades is costing us.

  • Ramblin_Rebel13
    Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported

    I have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC

  • DiChiarissimo
    The Miladorlorian (@DiChiarissimo) reported

    @IBKR Do not ever use this ******* dogshit platform, not only will you not be able to trade anything, they lock your funds no matter the amount because obviously they got in trouble in thr past for money laudering because they are fat fuxking italian peices of ****, **** these people

  • iamshraey_

    @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?

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

  • Olde_Pharte
    RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported

    @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

    @IBKR We are? Groceries, energy,unemployment and deficit spending are all up. GDP and world respect are down. How exactly are we "back"?

    I want to know the qualifications one needs to work at @IBKR because boy when I tell you I feel like I'm talking to Wal mart customer service, these people don't have a clue.

    @IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.

    @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
