  @IBKR You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you

  @IBKR can you please fix your systems? Gosh it's market open and not being able to login to manage our trades is costing us.

  @IBKR I did that and out of frustration I have written here as they are asking to use my passport when passport is not in one of the options offered for Australia clearly documented in the ticket and screenshot I submitted. They only offer Australian drivers license and then on submission call id type invalid. The tech team on a call just mentions to try again rather than solving the issue and a musical chair game is going on between support and tech folks.

  todd morse (@ihottoddy) reported 35 minutes ago

  @IBKR Ur total garbage. I switched from schwab and swith back after one day. U dont tell people u have to have 100k to get best margin rate then at 1259. All margins go up to 50% and u sell some of my stocks. Customer service is trash also..u should be shut down

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Go read recent YouTube comments and hear Chris Camillo describing how terrible a user experience he has with your app. You give truly terrible customer experiences, and yet so many of us want to use your services for international trades. Level up!!

  Lili Fee (@booklilifee) reported 40 minutes ago

  @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.

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

  Limpidish (@Imz_isNoGood) reported 46 minutes ago

  @IBKR the worst investment platform I’ve ever dealt with! Random rules that forcibly convert currencies, AI shoved down my throat even when I clearly said it was not helping and I needed someone to look into my issue! So yeah, taking my business somewhere else.

  @hanshaozi @IBKR I’m interested, too. @IBKR Would you at least address this issue publicly and state when do you plan on removing PDT rule??

  John Mason (@johnkmason) reported 58 minutes ago

  Sidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).
