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

• 
  Outlier Capital (@outlierrcapital) reported 7 minutes ago

  @IBKR still utterly screwing me. If $*** tanks on earnings today I will be broken...

  @RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue

  Bubble Trouble (@SkillJoyed) reported 9 minutes ago

  I’ve never been so let down by the UI of any application in my life as I am by @IBKR . I’m serious. Every little tasks rains a parade of bugs. Just do the thing!

  @IBKR Your ticket response was awful. It was just a bot message that provided no assistance. I have now been subject to PDT blackout rules for seven business days. This is ridiculous.

• 
  Sr Investidor (@SrInvestidor) reported 14 minutes ago

  @IBKR Unfortunately support is not being very helpful, their response is always that there is no ECD and no mitigation and that they are waiting for “the developers response”, we are close to a month wait now, I was hoping you could shake things up a little bit

  @IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction

  @IBKR I expected better quality from you.

  @IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!

  @IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone

• 
  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 36 minutes ago

  @IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.

• 
  FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported 36 minutes ago

  @IBKR Literally the worst broker imaginable. They block tickers now, they price cap anything remotely volatile, even large caps so you're stuck in a bad trade or can't enter a good one. This broker is anti-success. High fees and trading interference. Run from this broker.

  jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported 41 minutes ago

  @alexkingsays @AskRobinhood Rey. Same experience. I eventually moved everything to @IBKR and haven’t looked back. Brokerage for adults, and actual customer support when you need it.

• 
  Adaxelo (@RoiSinge) reported 43 minutes ago

  @IBKR And what about the removal of PDT rules ? All brokers are removing it tomorrow. You are the worst broker ever, I am closing my account

  @IBKR what a painful experience is to use Interactive Brokers. Avoid it at all means. The server doesnt work or it is very slow way to often.

  EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported 48 minutes ago

  @kiantrades @discord_support Yes, Discord and @IBKR both terrible services for traders. My rant for the day. Lol

  Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported 54 minutes ago

  @NBee007 @IBKR Disaster trying to login through the Website Portal on a Lap Top, only to be directed to the Cell APP, then back to the Portal for another type of Code, a SMS Code, a Challenge Code, then to a page on the Lap top Website to scan a code on your phone app (why when I am logging in on my laptop??), then over here, then there, then 2 hours is gone and still cannot login. Cannot submit a request for help unless you can login. Try calling? Cannot understand what the person is saying. Pathetic Platforms. Then, as Ten Beers has observed, you get a Canned Response in "X".

  @IBKR A new week begins. When would you stupid team cancel pdt rules？

• 
  EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported 56 minutes ago

  @IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.

  @IBKR Your ticket message returns in error!!

  EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported 59 minutes ago

  @belfort0609 @buyerofponzi @IBKR I'm hearing this is an increasing problem. You will be better off elsewhere .. IBKR went from a top tier broker to a bottom tier real fast as far as I'm concerned.

• 
  John Martin (@jminvesting) reported 1 hour ago

  I really want to use @IBKR and twice now I've tried to fund and set up an account. Their insistence on you having your phone nearby to check their mobile app for some code every 10 minutes has caused me to give up each time. Awful experience and poor security design.

  Dear @IBKR I don't give a **** about the SpaceX IPO, please, stop the spam, how many times do I have to delete the notifications????

  jazz (@hspnyc) reported 1 hour ago

  @IBKR No one is replying and you already have my money for 5 days. Please expedite asap or I will make a complaint with business buearu

  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 1 hour ago

  @IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.
