  • Steven78725581 slu (@Steven78725581) reported

    When is @IBKR going to honor my trade? I tried placing a trade on your platform and it didn’t execute because a “glitch” on YOUR end. I’ve been trying to resolve this issue for a week now. The market is difficult enough but now retail investors have to worry if trades get executed or not?

  • Maha_A_96 M (@Maha_A_96) reported

    @IBKR Finally, a way to turn my terrible stock picks into something useful.

  • DavidDelos4 David Delos (@DavidDelos4) reported

    @badagobalistica @IBKR Thanks. This may all be just an academic exercise if interest rates go down significantly.

  • FishPatagonia Mike Conyers (@FishPatagonia) reported

    @IBKR Is there a problem with the portal in the UK?

  • PodContrarian Contrarian Investor Media (@PodContrarian) reported

    @Innov8challenge @IBKR think it was just a glitch with the "upgrade." Probably failed to do proper testing ahead of the build Happens. Often

  • Innov8challenge Magic Formula Challenge (@Innov8challenge) reported

    @PodContrarian @IBKR I was googling to see if the app was down because I kept having blank screens.

  • rwarmewmew spilled emotions (@rwarmewmew) reported

    @IBKR Low fees? Finally, a reason to borrow against my bad decisions!

  • 5810111868milk あやっふぃ〜@生粋のポキナー (@5810111868milk) reported

    @IBKR Borrowing against my portfolio to buy more stocks? #PublicAI just enabled my infinite money glitch.

  • LSKMSun James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported

    @IBKR the app is having issues now ... please fix, no quotes now on options of es, nq

  • CHILIKIWInft ChiliKiwi (@CHILIKIWInft) reported

    @Stonkfather2021 @IBKR Ah alright i never use browser so i wouldnt know. Their customer service does suck though

  • elbart345 VANGOCHART (@elbart345) reported

    @IBKR Sure but who actually borrows on margin with rates trending down and ETH staking yielding up only this cycle

  • Payloadotexe cyberlegend (@Payloadotexe) reported

    @IBKR Ur the worst

  • CoodDoBettr Could Do Better (@CoodDoBettr) reported

    @IBKR Could you find someone who understands what a “reference” is that those doing bank transfers enter to read my message which has ZERO to do with logging int the client portal. The FAQ is totally irrelevant to the issue I raised!

  • arturp78 ArturP (@arturp78) reported

    @CozetteBrown21 @IBKR So don’t buy it what’s problem?

  • Urunknownfrn Into the unknown (@Urunknownfrn) reported

    @IBKR Finally, a way to turn my terrible stock picks into something useful.

  • euro_cripto CriptoSpain (@euro_cripto) reported

    @IBKR The support system from IBKR is absolutely awkward. Agents are nice but they can not solve anything and the whole system is extremely slow. Already trying to solve an issue since last thursday. Hours and hours waiting.

  • Steven78725581 slu (@Steven78725581) reported

    @IBKR When is @IBKR going to honor my trade? I tried placing a trade on your platform and it didn’t execute because a “glitch” on YOUR end. I’ve been trying to resolve this issue for a week now. How are people suppose to trust a broker that does this?

  • Imoption_trader Captain Hemant (@Imoption_trader) reported

    @IBKR How I can change my phone number, my old number is not working to receive otp and login

  • TSS205 TS (@TSS205) reported

    @IBKR Your login feature sucks.

  • americatrollNYC americanpatriottroll (@americatrollNYC) reported

    @The13thBird @IBKR What I always find funny is you clowns will have no problem shooting your mouth off online but when you see somebody in person, you get real quiet and really scared It's pretty funny how pathetic you really are

  • TsundokuNinja Tsundoku Sensei (@TsundokuNinja) reported

    @seantoh @EnovixBatteries Sean, I’m not sure where you are based but for @IBKR clients in the USA, it is simply a matter of completing the form in the Corporate Action center and there are no fees. The $1000 fee for Guaranteed Delivery service is nonstandard and not required.

  • valroudev NYSE Trader (@valroudev) reported

    @IBKR CANADA and Mexico have 900 billions trade volume with USA. 35% tariff is coming next Monday. No deal at all. BIG CRASH is coming this FRIDAY. SELL NOW people and thank me later. SP500 RSI is at 75 !!! Crazy HIGH...STRONG SELL...Be smart, lock the profit now. $SPX

  • electricfuture5 Electric Future (@electricfuture5) reported

    Started the transfer of shares from @nabtrade to @IBKR, surprised how painless it was. @grok was a hige help making the comparison in fee between both when selling.

  • missprakk s a n d y 🇰🇭 (@missprakk) reported

    @IBKR Damn, that’s a lot of ways to lose money.

  • Tradergertaaaa Trader Gertaaaa (@Tradergertaaaa) reported
