Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
MillenniumKnight Inc (@MKINC) reported@IBKR Your status page is showing no issues, but for the last 2 hours I haven't been able to access my paper trading account. "NAV Calculation currently unavailable". What's up?
-
Jasdeep (@jmadan) reported@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@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.
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reportedJust got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.

0xGoku.eth (@0xGoku_eth) reportedHow do people deal with @IBKR? Literally 50% of the time I click any button, the page loads for 3–5 seconds and then just… doesn’t load at all (I get some error message)!
-
Leandro Biderman (@LBTaikonauta) reported@SpaceX ****, only open to US residents in @IBKR
-
Ten Beers (@NBee007) reportedI thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading
-
Joel - coffee/acc (@JoelDeTeves) reported@IBKR I want to use my own models running on my own hardware. Please provide an MCP server or something other models can connect to
-
GrumpierByTheDay (@GrumpierBTDay) reported@Fidelity having problems two mornings in a row. Time to start shuffling money to @IBKR
-
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝗽™ (@Meeptimelive) reported@TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Llc with liquidity problems nothing to be ashamed of. What factor rate are you looking for?
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedGood grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!
-
Cashflow King (@cashflow_king94) reportedJust over a year since I switched to @IBKR and went all in on growth stocks... Portfolio is ahead of the S&P 500 by $23,273. That's 11.72% outperformance. Ahead of the NASDAQ 100 by $9,283. 4.37% outperformance. Beating both major indices with 9 stocks and a system. A year ago people told me I was mad... Too concentrated, too risky - Should just buy an index fund and forget about it. Well the index fund would have made me $23k less. That's a car, That's a holiday, That's months of deposits into the portfolio. I'm doing it with fewer stocks, less complexity, Less stress. Quality companies the world can't function without... I'm not Against Index funds but most people think single stocks are risky.... Mixture of both would work well for majority of people in my opinion. Sometimes the "risky" approach is actually the smart one. How's your portfolio doing??
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR It is truly the worst. A total pos.
-
PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reportedTrying to sort an @IBKR account with stables for 2 days, and it's just an all-round ****** experience. Still waiting for stablecoin approval, interface is horrible, bad UI. Been waiting 5 minutes for the deposit button to render. Do non-crypto folk just accept this as fine?
-
Brad Ford (@Digetydog) reported@IBKR @ibkr has terrible customer service in my opinion.
-

-
cryptoworldrich.eth (@spectrelb) reported@IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.
-
Em. At. (@EmAt48652737) reported@IBKR So you guys are playing accounts liquidation, customers cannot transfer money between own accounts in order to cover margins, since transfer page is not working. I am going to fill a complain to CBI
-
James Butler (@jbutlersg) reported@IBKR you guys have the worst most painful sign up process. Even just sent an email to support and even that came up showing an error. Why is it so difficult?
-
INTER (@Night34Blue) reported@IBKR Hello, I have already completed all requested tasks, uploaded documents, updated my financial profile, completed MiFIR and tax information, and funded my account. However, I am still unable to receive the trading permissions I requested, and I keep receiving only automated responses without a clear explanation or solution. I respectfully ask for a proper manual review of my account by a specialist and clear guidance on exactly what needs to be changed or updated for approval. I have spent a significant amount of time trying to resolve this issue, and if this cannot be resolved properly, I may consider withdrawing my funds and using another broker platform instead. Please review my account carefully and assist me with a real solution. Thank you.
-
Ringiana (@Ringiana) reported@ThinkFinance999 @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Similar problem in the US, not just Europe. Must be SK's rules for foreigners holding KRW in brokerage accounts. LLM explained one solution to me.
-
Roman Lightman (@b_contrary) reported@IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.
-
Come Heavy (@cdnsos) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon What is going on with your Client Portal?? It has gotten so completely unusable you actually look like a scam site now. I know you're not but if I was considering onboarding right now I wouldn't dare put real money on. Like, it's truly terrible.
-
Smart Investor (@ranking_smart) reported@IBKR Can someone in your team support France answer us ? You are unreachable in any way of contact (website, phone..)
-
William W. Nicholas (@Alohayall_) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Change your God damn pdt rules. What makes you so slow in such a simple action!!! ？？？ A bunch of stupid IT do you really need so long?
