    @IBKR @IBKRespanol I’ve been trying to open an account for months but keep getting stuck at phone verification. Sometimes the system even says “Your application has been cancelled.” Emails go unanswered and support tickets are unavailable. Please assist urgently.

    @IBKR how has your service become just like the crapification of everything? trying out your IBKR Desktop. Spent 2+ hours configuring the preferences to where i wanted them. even did a "save as" to make sure I had a copy of the zip file. Now, all that work has disappeared.

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Traders workstation is a piece of garbage. Anyone not using IB. Stay away they are the worst

  • BankTheTrade Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported

    @IBKR Why is TWS doing the following all of a sudden? Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time. Aggravating as hell.

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR You have a substandard platform and your support staff is basicslly nonexistent. I would advise people to stay away from IB. If you run into a situation and need help you will not get it.

  • AwokenApollyon Korban (@AwokenApollyon) reported

    @rfcapital2 @etrade It’s been broken for literally ******* weeks. I’m about to move my money to @IBKR

  • chartonaut Christopher C (@chartonaut) reported

    I follow best practices by using complex and random passwords generated by my password manager. Meanwhile, @IBKR just force-updated my TWS on Linux, and now I can't copy/paste my password to login anymore. These guys have been vibe coding before AI was even a thing.

  • ALBACapMgmt 🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported

    @IBKR Oi *********. What is the point of providing any pnl information if you are just going to value US etfs at nonsensical fkg values during non cash equity hours. AOR for example. ******* you people are impossible to like.

  • Holmes1618 Holmes1618 (@Holmes1618) reported

    @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!

  • coincarver Milo (@coincarver) reported

    Is Interactive brokers down? What is this garbage exchange? HELLO? @IBKR

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR Opening a ticket in your susten is actually quite difficult because you have to navigate a mine field of AI generated answers and faq. Your support staff is terrible. Last time I opened a ticket it took a week to get a response.

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon So frustrated with your service. It is just the worst. Good luck finding customer support. Absolutely ridiculous.

  • RetireonDividen Retire on Dividends (@RetireonDividen) reported

    @KraneShares @IBKR @Dr_XiaolinChen International exposure can help Don’t be scared

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR My bid & ask spreads disappeared. I had to restart TWS to get them back. Then i was getting messages that I was under pdt and i wasn't alliwoded to trade. I am not uber pdt. Not even close to it. I shut down TWS & restarted. That resolved the issue.

  • Alex_Steger_ Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported

    If anyone happens to be having problems with the API on @IBKR after last night's TWS update to 10.43, go to file, change version, and stable and that fixes it IBKR is working on a fix but this is their short term solution

  • PhenixInvesting PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported

    @IBKR Can you fix your Order System on K200 Futures K200 Broken for past 30 minutes 0 Customer Services & 0 understanding how serious it is!!! Some Traders are losing millions out there and even might blow up if you don't fix your thing Answer needed for the Community

  • ALBACapMgmt 🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported

    @l1quid1ty @IBKR but yeh i get your point...its an exchange issue whoever that exchange may be. Clearly this isnt the case with otc stuff like fx which is obviously their issue.

  • baiyandianxing 皇白焰电星玉龙帝 (@baiyandianxing) reported

    @IBKR fintech is stupid get rich quick ideology, gambling, extraction of money from virtual representation of assets, raising the cost of everything in a perpetual Ponzi scheme always wasting talent and resources, with no productivity

  • TrendTrader_US TrendTrader (@TrendTrader_US) reported

    @IBKR Your customer service is lacking compared to Fidelity and Scwab. Why do you restrict IRAs from trading $BNO, $CPER, $MPLX … when the other two don’t? Your customer ssrvice never follows thru to resolve these issues despite promising to do so. #noaccountability

  • olimassociates (((Marise Hausner))) (@olimassociates) reported

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

  • ALBACapMgmt 🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported

    @AnyonCurve @IBKR Ah its pretty good actually apart from it customer service which is fkg abysmal, they juat swem to have had a few exchamge / price provider issues of late.

  • BankTheTrade Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported

    Is it just me or is @IBKR TWS doing things on its own, most of which are very aggravating. Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time.

    @Akshat_World @IBKR please confirm whether there was an error from your side.

  • noruserious Weeble Rothschild (@noruserious) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR why on god's green earth would you have YOUR "Technical Assistance" PHONE HELP based out of a country (Im guessing India) where an English speaking client of YOURS can't understand your Indian employee because their accent is so incredibly thick? WHY? #garbage
