  • dr_firstgrowth DR (@dr_firstgrowth) reported

    @JohnArnoldFndtn Neither of these is a good option. Have him open an account at @IBKR, enroll in stock yield enhancement (fully paid lending), help him pick a few good companies & indices to invest in, and come up with a “fun $” budget so he can learn the hard way what 0dte options and event contracts cost a long term investor.

    @IBKR Regardless of nationality or religion, there is something seriously wrong if you have an issue with dogs.

  • Alphaa__x Alpha (@Alphaa__x) reported

    @IBKR Thanks for your reply. I am unable to contact your support team at all. I subscribed to the Zacks , and it doenst show up in your app / Desktop application. I have to unsubscribe it. I cant find where I get the extra information and there is no documentation to help us at all.

  • observadoremmo censurax (@observadoremmo) reported

    @Brandon_Snyder @IBKR I am facing the same problem, I am unable to load options chain for specific stocks

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR Why did my live market data get turned off? I did not unsubscribe. I subscribed again and have been waiting since the open to get it turned back on but your support is so terrible. I have messaged a couple of times but in typical IB fashion I will not get a response for days.

    @IBKR your Mac Desktop App is so bad it is killing my system. Highest energy usage and it spins the CPU for nothing.

  • A_MisterNobody MisterNobody (@A_MisterNobody) reported

    @kasuryan @IBKR The error persists (from France)

  • Aonnoa_ toti (@Aonnoa_) reported

    @WealthCoachMak At worst, don't trade with Interactive Broker. @IBKR

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR Oh please. Click on thit link yourself and try to get through the Self-help section and actually talk to a person. It is basically impossible.

    Anyone having problem connecting to @IBKR by web browser?

  • zawsx007 zaqwsx007 (@zawsx007) reported

    @IBKR It is another day and your platform for a 3rd day in row is unusable, can someone look into this ? It is impossible as well to open ticket with you via web page, as there is again 403 error. @IBKR_Europe @IBKR

  • memiselfundi Emily Jones🍷⚀ (@memiselfundi) reported

    @Zhaoxiansheng__ @IBKR No they will never help you. Just send you down a never ending loop in customer service.

    @IBKR has the worst customer service i've ever contacted. Been waiting for an answer for 20 days with a follow up message too.

  • bmakr_ Brian McDonough (@bmakr_) reported

    I just want to remind everyone how incredibly bad @ibkr is for trading. They have great reviews, so I test drove it for 1 week then they froze my wire transfers out for weeks. I had to file a finra complaint to get them to release my funds. but its not just that. The trading platform was created in the 1950s. every click results in 5-30 seconds latency. late stage my space.

  • marcellarise Marcella Risye (@marcellarise) reported

    I think #Singapore retail sales data (Sept ’25) raise red flags for traders 🇸🇬📉 Year-on-year: +2.8% (slowest since June), monthly down -1.4% Wear & footwear, petrol, furniture are weak but watches & jewelry still strong. @TigerBrokersSG @IBKR @MAS_sg

  • Yogithebearish joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR It is so frustrating trying to deal with your lack of support. Even opening a support ticket is like wrestling with a bear. It is so difficult. Your service is truly the absolute worst.

  • erniewiseswig Ernie Wise's Wig (@erniewiseswig) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon IBKR login notifications aren't working tonight. Is the system down?

  • moneyhunger24 Station (@moneyhunger24) reported

    @IBKR I already submitted the issue and none of your people to fix the issue. Very terrible platform!
