Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DanielWiener_ Daniel Wiener (@DanielWiener_) reported

    @IBKR Any of the commentators here understand how margin works ? they are protecting themself and their customers not anyone else, the money brokers lend you is cash other customers hold and if it all blows up the broker will go down with its customers. It's the prudent thing to do...

  • seanswan Sean (@seanswan) reported

    @IBKR Awful. Get ready to join Robinhood, TDA, Schwab in the class action suit. Citadel apparently has you guys by the ***** too. What a shame. You think Reddit is manipulating the market? They have nothing on you. These companies ALL need to sue!

  • Patrickmford Patrick Ford (@Patrickmford) reported

    @Tony_BATtista please start regulating what I can and can’t trade. I need to be protected from myself! Please help! SOS! Find inspiration in @RobinhoodApp and @IBKR #dirtbags

  • SpacMan11 The Italian SPACchio (@SpacMan11) reported

    @IBKR Dear @IBKR could you please advise a fair broker who will not shut down our freedom to buy? Thanks!

  • ana_yanakieva ANA.vc 💸 (@ana_yanakieva) reported

    @IBKR when you get taxed: "fReE mArKEts f0R aLL" when you start losing $$ against retail: "markets are volatile, we stop service" then you wonder why crypto is growing massively year on year

  • tradermacro Denys (@tradermacro) reported

    @IBKR wtf is wrong with you? what risk do you bare if customer wants to buy puts/calls? we can lose only what we paid! restrict option selling, why buying too?

  • benjaminarium Benjamin (@benjaminarium) reported

    @RobinhoodApp and @IBKR restrict $GME trading minutes before the opening bell, and I'm sure others will once again crash 'unexpectedly' within the hour. Only certain people are allowed to manipulate the market.

  • FMTrade4Life Florin Marian (@FMTrade4Life) reported

    @IBKR your platform sucks, the same your customer service

  • coach9_ Don Pablo (@coach9_) reported

    @IBKR They're all part of the same team, time to shut them down!

  • ghettosupertsar ghettosupertsar (@ghettosupertsar) reported

    @IBKR Closing down my IBKR account. Clearly, we were chumps for thinking we lived in capitalist, free market society.

  • IdiotVoltron Idiot Voltron (@IdiotVoltron) reported

    @IBKR I'm closing out my account with you even though I don't own options in any of those names. Openly showing what we've all known, but didn't want to think about in your ability to gate keep and manipulate at will is bad for business.

  • JoshuaJWilborn Joshua J Wilborn (@JoshuaJWilborn) reported

    @IBKR @DeItaone Long time customer here...Nice collusion with wall street. This is despicable and you should be ashamed.

  • charlesf11 Charles F (@charlesf11) reported

    @IBKR "this situation"!? What's the situation? A bunch of hedge funds flipped shares they never had to the tune of 130% and they got caught with their damn pants down? THAT SITUATION!?? AND YOU'RE GONNA PROTECT THEM?!?!

  • The_Money_Monke The Money Monkey (@The_Money_Monke) reported

    @keyboardspam @IBKR @public I was literally in the process of deciding between IBKR and Public after RH decided to **** everyone over. Is it really THAT far fetched of a story right now?

  • Ankelssj /\nKeL (@Ankelssj) reported

    @IBKR @DeItaone IBRK **** u! expect sue for damages, ******* ********

  • Hmodh1B H (@Hmodh1B) reported

    @IBKR Yeh, help the big institutions, screw the retail investor . Appalling behaviour but I am. Not surprised.

  • EbitdaMr Mr.EBITDA (@EbitdaMr) reported

    @IBKR Lol @IBKR and @RobinhoodApp getting shut down soon.

  • Panos_Iliop Panos Iliopoulos (@Panos_Iliop) reported

    @IBKR I bet extraordinary volatility was alright when retail investors were down. ****** preposterous. I'm already looking into alternatives, enough is enough.

  • prghello PG2382 (@prghello) reported

    @IBKR This is bad..blocking retailer investors to save the hedge fund managers..

  • CashSmartLLC CashSmart (@CashSmartLLC) reported

    @IBKR @DeItaone When casinos see that you know how to beat the odds at a table game they shut the table down and say they are “doing maintenance”. The house always wins.

  • Ccornell2659 Chase Cornell (@Ccornell2659) reported

    @IBKR WTF i was just saying how good you guys were about all this and now you're doing the same blocking crap as @RobinhoodApp #ibkr #GameStop $GME $NOK #FUCKYOU

  • poop42009951 poop (@poop42009951) reported

    @IBKR Honestly at this point just **** yourselves

  • MoneyJHooley The Money Master | Jake Hooley (@MoneyJHooley) reported

    @IBKR I have a feeling @Trading212 will be down again 😠

  • DanielWiener_ Daniel Wiener (@DanielWiener_) reported

    @IBKR You can still buy the stocks, just not with someones else money, bring your own money and own the stock outright, no problem.

  • 11CoolHandLuke CoolHand Trades (@11CoolHandLuke) reported

    @IBKR @goodetrades Utterly shameful, what a crock of Sh*t! I'd actually been thinking of switching over to @IBKR but no F-ing way. Almost exactly one year ago you calmly sat back while millions lost millions but now you shut it down because a few are actually making money. $AMC $GME #scammers

  • Boom37888688 Boom (@Boom37888688) reported

    @IBKR What in ******** is going on? Why can't I buy normally?

  • BrokedTV BrokedTV (@BrokedTV) reported

    @IBKR @DeItaone Awfull service

  • bpramod_kumar Pramod Kumar (@bpramod_kumar) reported

    @IBKR Really? You are just trying to cover your asses and losses... now you have a problem... and you don’t care about the Tesla pumps without fundamentals... this is bullshit...

  • ClairCognizanc No name (@ClairCognizanc) reported

    @IBKR Just tried to put my short sell order in and @IBKR will only allow “closing-only trades” for $GME #GME. The time to make serious money is when everybody is stampeding to the exits! WTF!!!

  • charlesf11 Charles F (@charlesf11) reported

    Oh, and now Interactive Brokers @IBKR is doing the same exact damn thing as RH. The game is rigged kids. You can't win. Only the suits can win. It's time for a new set of rules.
