Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIf a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@IBKR is down during trading hours. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and unable to log in to their account?
-
Natalka (@NataliiaKoval) reported@IBKR Phone support in 2026? I’m constantly traveling and changing phone numbers to the country I’m visiting. I don’t have a permanent phone number. That’s why I can’t login as you blocked the possibility to change phone numbers.
-
Lex◇Investor (@Inves2grow) reported@_charles289 @IBKR no problems.
-
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.

NaN (@iama_nan) reportedWhy is @IBKR down ? Can’t login!!!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@SquawkStreet @IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972

The Senior Risk Manager (@salr_nyc) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Double the work, double the chance for error. Isnt tech great?
-
Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported@IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.
-
froyomofo (@froyomofo1) reported@IBKR I put a ticket in FOUR DAYS AGO and still nothing back. Why ******** should I keep using a platform where I can’t get an answer to a question in a reasonable amount of time?!
-
covertsah (@coversah) reportedI have never had a such a bad experience setting up a new brokage account @IBKR I fund it I choose the light plan but they give them the Pro plan that include commissions. So all my test trades pulled commissions today. I tried to enable trading for leveraged etfs they denied me won't say why, so i get to wait another 30 days to try again. Man if i had any other choice i would just withdraw the money move on but i don't.

Boosting Media (@Booster7860) reported@youngstockuser @IBKR Technical issues are always frustrating. Hope everything is back to normal.
-
Ryan (@nycguy1988) reported@IBKR And HORRIFIC SLIPPAGE that crushes P&L, with slow customer service in submitting trade busts to CBOE that costs clients money. I'm mad at you.
-

Susan-Betty Love (@QuackSlayerHK) reported@IBKR Fix your fxxking app/platform. This is unacceptable during market hours
-
Lili Fee (@booklilifee) reported@MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.
-
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!
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@IBKR fix your ******* app!!!! My lord it's absolute dog ****. Sell lots out my shares LIFO and your system then does FIFO when it's clearly marked correct. Then on the backend in change tax lots it shows correctly. Yet today nor the next day will I get credit in my SMA or NL

Kate Whittaker (@KateWhitta17313) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR I use Halifax isa Hargreaves’s Lansdowne isa Few trading accounts with different ones Halifax is decent tbh never problem executing trades or selling positions.
-
FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported@IBKR Worst broker for trading small caps on the planet. They will lock you from exiting your position whenever they feel like it and you will lose 5-10x more before the cap is lifted.
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@OverWeightStock @IBKR But the worst customer service!
-
GingerNinja (@GingerNinjaZA) reported@cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Man, ours charges us like 1.275% , like wtf 😭 Need to move to IBKR
-
KhunCrypto (@KhunCrypto) reported@IBKR I am writing to complain about persistent issues on your website: login is unreliable across multiple access points, and my saved settings (portfolio, watchlist) are regularly lost, forcing me to reconfigure them constantly.
-
PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@YYF171ttk @IBKR After couple hours we were able to get some orders filled then the system shutdown again for several hours This time it’s insane 30 hours in and no ETA time on fix
-
Pupu Chen (@PupuChen4) reported@IBKR I’ve been a customer for 10 years. I’m quitting it n moving my pot over to another broker. Customer service sucks, they move your funds without your consent and are not forthcoming with the reasons for doing so
