Rod J Davis 🇺🇸 (@rjd_mkts) reported@IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!
-
BatCAt (@BatcatCA) reported@IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.

joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR My bid & ask spreads disappeared. I had to restart TWS to get them back. Then i was getting messages that I was under pdt and i wasn't alliwoded to trade. I am not uber pdt. Not even close to it. I shut down TWS & restarted. That resolved the issue.
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@AnyonCurve @IBKR Ah its pretty good actually apart from it customer service which is fkg abysmal, they juat swem to have had a few exchamge / price provider issues of late.

𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR I shouldn't have to say I have billions when I have a disability support pension and just want to get a foot up. I also want to invest in a company that I believe in that will help a project hopefully
-
Rich Pinks (@RichPinks) reportedJust keep $AMC above $1 until shorts crack, that's it, that's all you have to do. @IBKR showed me 11112.2 Bil shares traded volume today. The glitch better have my money, that's all I'm saying. ABOVE ONE DOLLAR. I like that discount, count me in. The Box Office will bring $$$$$$$

kevin@Crypto (@ngocquang19877) reported@brian_armstrong @IBKR fix your damn stock price for **** sake
-
Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported@IBKR The worst customer service EVER! I started an application on Thursday 3/19 and I already hate you. Was denied trading permission for futures on a cash account. Nobody can tell me why I was denied or what the requirements to trade futures are.
-
super (@super509219312) reported@vraptor75011 @IBKR They said it was technical issue btw.
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@speculator20221 @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.
-
Lexi (@lexii_eth) reported@FarmerJoe0x @IBKR interesting take but the real question is when will they stop crashing during high volume the pros cant trade if the platform is down
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR Happened to me too. Multiple orders got canceled. They said it was a technical issue on their end. But it it rather alarming, given that their support is hardly reachable. When situations like this happen, you need support more easily available to deal with it.
-
Weeble Rothschild (@noruserious) reported@IBKR how has your service become just like the crapification of everything? trying out your IBKR Desktop. Spent 2+ hours configuring the preferences to where i wanted them. even did a "save as" to make sure I had a copy of the zip file. Now, all that work has disappeared.
-
JKL (@ljzmdg) reported@JoachimMo1985 @IBKR @IBKR_Europe I did not get order canceled but I was not able to submit entry orders last night. Got no trading permission error.
-
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reportedIf anyone happens to be having problems with the API on @IBKR after last night's TWS update to 10.43, go to file, change version, and stable and that fixes it IBKR is working on a fix but this is their short term solution

Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported@IBKR My application U24947179 has been stuck since March 25. Promised same-day resolution, got nothing. Now I'm 403'd from Live Chat so I can't even reach support. No ETA, no update. What's going on?
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
-
Leo GNK (@GnkLeo17852) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Hello, I am having trouble accessing my Interactive Brokers account. I recently deleted the authenticator from my Microsoft Authenticator app, and now I cannot log in because I no longer have access to the security code. Could you please help me recover my account and reset my

Manny (@theverysmartone) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Whop is the worst platform ever, they truly don't care about the customers at all, they are all about the commissions they get from the course sellers.
