Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported@IBKR To clarify: the application has been stuck since March 23 due to a known wizard bug on IBKR's end. March 25 was when Live Chat confirmed the issue and promised same-day resolution, which never happened.

The 'investor' (@Pikachu21M) reported@IBKR Not being able to see the performance of an asset when we are changing the time-frame, and letting it fix on the intraday only is so stupid guys
-
Forward Capital (UK) Limited (@Forward_Capital) reportedThere have been issues connecting to @IBKR using @tradingview for over a week and no confirmed date for resolving the issue. Can you confirm what is going on?
-
subst8nc3 (@subst8nce) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon A company so big and successful, that it went to the trouble of implementing Advanced Charts but cant provide a decent backend to actually load them in the application. Get some real architects, seriously.
-
sroy (@roy34340023) reported@IBKR Your India ops is a complete circus. The simulation is a joke, your customer service is clueless. Zero faith in doing any trades thru you.
-
Thryxie (@Thryxie_) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR I had issues with delays aswell. Took about a week for funds to arrive
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR The problem is that when I call to get help, I get five minutes of yadda yadda and then it tells me to login online and hangs up. You have effectively cut off all means of contact to get help.
-
Maria Mednikova (@MednikovaM64181) reportedTried to use @IBKR app to buy some QQQ and it was such a bad experience. This is my first time investing so it was overwhelmingly complicated. I put in an application at @public but haven't heard anything back. Their app looks so much easier!
-
toti (@Aonnoa_) reported@IBKR You must have Push notification enabled on your Phone to confirm your withdrawal request within the app. Otherwise please login to Client Portal and confirm your Withdrawal request. ?
-
Dave ๐จ๐ฆ๐งโ๏ธ โธ๏ธ๐ฌ๐ง (@rellim_evad) reported@bclund @IBKR Agreed! They seemed to have changed to an AI customer service system, which seems to struggle with the most basic questions.
-
John Morina-If you build it they will come (@JohnMorina2) reported@IBKR your platform sucks and your customer service is as bad as Spirit Airlines. I have been on hold for 35 minutes calling from overseas so the cost will be extremely expensive. You suck, always have and the reason I hate using your platform
-
Adi (@adi_baradwaj) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has surprisingly good API support for a boomer product
-
่งๅพฎ (@DoryYinxuan) reported@IBKR That hidden FX fee thing is the worst! I had no idea how much I was losing until I switched to IBKR. Such a game-changer for my US stock trades. ๐ฉ
-
Mark Bratt ๐ป๐ป๐ป (@MarkBratt924939) reported@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I donโt, but if I were a ****** capitalist I would own physical goods such as property, precious metal, guns, non taxable physical coin collection. Paper is coming to an end and US Tbonds are going down to CIPS and destruction of the petrodollar.
-
David Wayne (@WDoft) reported@IBKR Sorry for bringing the average down.
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Your desktop software's Linux installer is broken.

VA (@IndMktTrading) reported@IBKR When your stupid app allows to! WTF is the developer ??
-
Floebertus. (@3XmxkkbCWe4s7uQ) reported@IBKR You found this out, I'm not in trouble
-
Deepak (@Deepak66259832) reported@IBKR I have recently opened an account with you. I simply do not receive security code over text or phone call. Therefore, cannot login. Whenever I try calling your support helpline, it always says it is busy and I never get an agent on call. Pathetic service. #ibkr
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Fix the linux installer for your desktop software @IBKR
-
Agent Smith (@AiStockAgent) reported@BloomDemark @IBKR I tried. It says I donโt have trading permission. Customer service taking forever to pick up
-
๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐๐ข๐ข (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?
-
L5 (@apexminibot) reported@aleabitoreddit @labubu_trader @IBKR I totally concur that #IBKR UI is trash, also the response time for navigating and waiting for things to load is just intolerable. Please upgrade the infra and spend some money to fix!

๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐๐ข๐ข (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR hi, I have a disability support pension and I would like to do trading through you but your platform makes it near impossible and I would hate to think I would have to report you to the a Triple C for discrimination due to income. Perhaps we can work something out
