🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@PhenixInvesting @skyquake_1 @IBKR Its possible to reduce positions in Kospi futures and options now. It wasnt yesterday, wasnt given any explanation other than they were aware there was a problem.
-
KHoloud (@KH_SHx) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your broker Too slow !!
-
Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported@CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one
-
King (@SteveGetSold) reportedwhat is going on with @IBKR. Charts arent loading. even account manager is super slow. what is going on. its been like this since yesterday. but yesterday it became normal again few hours after market opens. today as soon as the market opens. it has problem loading again
-
Yousif Ashknani (@AshknKW) reported@yao_yao520 @IBKR Very stupid having maintenance at this time. Maybe trying to screw ppl idk anything in 2026 is possible.
-
Richard • Investing & FI (@Therichardralph) reported@financewithjoe @IBKR Possibly on low value the Fx fees being higher Vs trade cost might not be so much of an issue.
-
Kevin Ang (@fstorm28) reported@keoneHD @IBKR Poor infrastructure simply scales problems faster. Good infrastructure scales opportunity.
-
fundamentally its a bargain (@its_fundamental) reported@IGcom @Therichardralph @IBKR Says the company whose platform is down at a crucial time of day as market opens in US. I would suggest looking at ii - they are a quality operation unlike IG. IG will just disappoint.
-
The normal investor (@tradestotrades) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR Trades not executing , I’ve used the platform for 3 years no problems ?
-
99.⨀ (@crexsol) reported@monad @IBKR wtf is ibkr seems huge welldone team
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedMy goodness I can't wait to leave @IBKR now Friday and today always communication errors when trying to load the option chain and can't make a move. You guys absolutely suck and don't care a bit about your clients. Spare me the web ticket message you're about to drop.
-
Sophie 🌙 (@sofi3727_m) reported@mm_options @IBKR Server-side outage, not your fault. Did you check the IBKR status page or try a different device?
-
Dan Elton (@moreisdifferent) reported@NotA_Bull you guys have been posting so much FUD all weekend I opened up @GodelTerminal and @IBKR expecting a slaughterhouse scene, and ... it's not that bad? And the $VIX is still relatively low at 15.27
-
jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported@NickSchmidt Don't know about shitcoins. But for securities, there’s no comparison between HOOD and @IBKR on execution quality. I moved everything to IBKR a few years ago and never looked back.
-
Doug Campbell (@TradeandMoney) reported@IBKR @Polymarket The score is now: IBKR 1, Me 0. First I went to AI to resolve my problem, and then tech support. They sent me to read some article that i couldn't see. I was going to send support a screen shot of what I saw when i clicked on the article link, but there support chat had a bug and the upload didn't work! You can't make this stuff up. In the end support told me to come back tomorrow and try.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedOn @IBKR buy an options contract nothing wild just a put on a 100 lot of ZS. Contract was trading at .01 for the bid and .27 for the ask. I put the midway .14 literally smack in the middle. Contract instantly fills. For .21 lol like wtf man.
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Low rates help, but leverage still magnifies mistakes. Read the margin rules, liquidation policy, and cash-rate eligibility before opening an account.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your software is such a pos. It is not sending the notification to my phone for me to login. I cannot access my account. I tried logging in with the QR code and it shows page not found. I need access to my account. You are just the software in the market. Total garbage
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedIBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.
-
thewalkingimmortal (@tyeatfood) reported@TT_stocks_ @D3GSolutions @IBKR Schwab isnt bad. but they dont really let the digital penny stocks too much.
-
Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported@IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.
-
David Silva Smith (@DavidSilvaSmith) reportedplus 12 messages across two support tickets. @IBKR please help me resolve this URGENT issue.
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!
-
Ashrith Govind (@ashrithgovind) reported@defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!
-
Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reportedAfter @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).
-
Mendax Venatorem (@mendaxvenatorem) reported@IBKR Terrible
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@OverWeightStock @IBKR But the worst customer service!
-
Said Suleimanov (@suleimanov50905) reported@monad @IBKR Monad has so much bullish news, and I don't care about the price. I don't understand why. Mon is falling in price again. What's the problem, dear Monad, why so! Can't you raise the price of Mon

🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@blahajcapital @IBKR Im guessing they dont have enough onshore margin posted to cover their clients positions...there are no exchange problems....its bullshit
