Adi (@adi_baradwaj) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has surprisingly good API support for a boomer product
-
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.

senzu_capital (@senzu_capital) reported@JosephW31117119 @IBKR nice, thanks for the update, out of all the errors i have seen this is by far the worst, as you can't really hedge your portfolio (if it persists until the open)
-
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.

Ethics (@ethics3606) reportedI have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.
-
AngryPhysicist, PhD. (@Drcamole) reported@IBKR Hello @ibkr ... I have a new phone and a new phone number. It has been impossible to speak to anyone due to the lack of IB key and I have tried live chat, email, phonecall, and feedback report, but nothing works. How do I get in touch with someone regarding this. Please help!!!!

Vrushabh Bhangod (@Vrushabh3211) reported@IBKR hi , I think there’s an error with the total calculations when underlyings are in different currencies like ILS or EUR. The final daily P&L isn’t converted to USD. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thanks !

DC (@HalifaxDC) reported@speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR I think I know why it might have happened to me. There was some kind of form about API Authentication that I was supposed to sign when I logged into the Client Portal a couple of days ago. I was in a hurry, so I passed over it, figured I'd do it later. Apparently, that might have been enough. The worst thing is, for some reason, they cancelled my Stop Loss on the live trade that I was in, but didn't cancel the trade itself (let that one sink in). Luckily, the trade went in my direction a bit, so I was no worse for wear. I still stayed on the phone, on hold, after that, because I was going to give them an earful ... but at the 2.5 hour mark of being on hold, I threw in the towel and hung up.

joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Opening a ticket in your susten is actually quite difficult because you have to navigate a mine field of AI generated answers and faq. Your support staff is terrible. Last time I opened a ticket it took a week to get a response.

@levelsio (@levelsio) reported@scotttmorton @IBKR @louistheroux Oh got it Typical bad editing work by MSM journos

joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Traders workstation is a piece of garbage. Anyone not using IB. Stay away they are the worst
-
Dr.Ötker 99%FI 💸 (@dr_otker) reportedLast night @IBKR systems glitched AGAIN and cancelled all my outstanding orders, 17 in total. I just spent more than half an hour resubmitting them thanks to a poor user interface and slow servers. This has happened before a few times and I believe will happen again. So could @IBKR at least offer a way to easily restore the cancelled orders?

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.
-
DividendMillennial (@DividendMil) reported@GeorgeFChahine @IBKR I might open an $IBKR account. I have heard great things and schwab is slacking a bit in their customer service

Nimesh Shah (@nimesh3t) reportedWhy does my daily p&l get messed up the moment Tel Aviv market closes @IBKR ? Please fix things on the backend.

Stan (@xbc9stazj) reportedAfter around 1 year of investing I transferred all my positions from @DEGIRO to @IBKR for risk exposure I had gone from 81.5K€ to 160K€ but the inflation prints and the overall bearishness cycle slowly landed me around ~113K€ Around that time I decided to load up on $RKLB warrants because I loved the company so much (yes, there were $RKLB warrants at some point) These contracts - I didn’t know it at the time - had pretty simple but specific rules : If the stock traded higher than $10 for an extended period of time (~2 weeks I think) the company could redeem them, no matter what the current price was. And man did they redeem them The stock was trading at $8 when they did so, offering us the option to buy the stock at the warrant strike price, $11.5, making them basically worthless on a cash basis I got demolished. I freaked out so bad I didn’t where to hide, for the first time as a market participant, I wanted to cry When I discovered there was a cashless exercice option that gave ~0.3 share per warrant, I was actually relieved. But the damage to my portfolio was severe regardless, basically a 70% wipeout on that massive position I didn’t know it at the time but that event was the trigger for a highway to 14K€ When I said in my quoted tweet that it’s going to be hard, this is what I’m referring to

Bill Nickelson (@jellydonutcap) reported@IBKR deposit rules literally the worst in the game

Chipaway (@WaRidgway1) reported@TheTechInvest @IBKR Lost over 30k on options lately, only doing sureish bets now lol; although in saying that did good last year, so can’t complain
-
Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reported@IBKR It's nothing the problem page can solve. The ticket has already been lodged with your team, but this is not being resolved and frankly is a joke
-
H💣 (@harryrhart) reported@IBKR how ******** to do I know login into my account? I used to get a text message... now everything is ******! I want to place a sell order and I CAN'T ACCESS MY ACCOUNT! WHAT SORT OF TRADING BUSINESS ARE YOU RUNNING! #FFS
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@l1quid1ty @IBKR but yeh i get your point...its an exchange issue whoever that exchange may be. Clearly this isnt the case with otc stuff like fx which is obviously their issue.
-
Colt45.eth (@wilson_eth) reported@TheTechInvest @IBKR The buyer of these is far more likely just playing the pop on the depressed option. Not bad news by any means but probably similar to the $700 tsla calls that keep coming through heavy.
-
Taxation Is Theft. (@j61968) reported@IBKR i cant fund my account your support is an ai loop that goes nowhere. USELESS! @IBKR
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR You have a substandard platform and your support staff is basicslly nonexistent. I would advise people to stay away from IB. If you run into a situation and need help you will not get it.
-
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported@super509219312 @IBKR The first was a platform update. The did a beta update and TWS stopped communicating with outside documents. The solution was to switch to the stable platform, which I did. Problem solved. Annoying but no concerns
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@IBKR Oi *********. What is the point of providing any pnl information if you are just going to value US etfs at nonsensical fkg values during non cash equity hours. AOR for example. ******* you people are impossible to like.
