    Ever since IBKR made the font slightly more green the market has gone to ****. @IBKR please fix this.

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR very bad experience! My profile access was restricted without any explanations. Contacted customer support multiple times without any response. Totally unethical practice by IBKR!

    subst8nc3 (@subst8nce) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon A company so big and successful, that it went to the trouble of implementing Advanced Charts but cant provide a decent backend to actually load them in the application. Get some real architects, seriously.

    @DebraG_Robins @IBKR No though awfully slow loading up TWS on desktop

    JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported

    @AiStockAgent @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.

    @IBKR To clarify: the application has been stuck since March 23 due to a known wizard bug on IBKR's end. March 25 was when Live Chat confirmed the issue and promised same-day resolution, which never happened.

    @DebraG_Robins @IBKR I used mine a few hours ago m everything was fine , I use the web page on ipad. I have the app. but don’t use that. I have occasionally had issues seeing portfolio in past but refreshing usually sorted , once I had to logout and in again.

    @IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!

  • Alex_Steger_
    Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported

    @super509219312 @IBKR This is obviously a different level of concern and seems to show that they're not being careful about their updates. In the 7yrs of using them, most issues have been the annoying types, not mini heart attack types For me, if there's another major type of issue, then I'm moving

  • MednikovaM64181
    Maria Mednikova (@MednikovaM64181) reported

    Tried to use @IBKR app to buy some QQQ and it was such a bad experience. This is my first time investing so it was overwhelmingly complicated. I put in an application at @public but haven't heard anything back. Their app looks so much easier!

  • Opus_Trad3r
    ORDER FILLED (@Opus_Trad3r) reported

    @marketswithmags @TradingLucid Why Prop firms make it so hard for people to cash out money they earned? @IBKR doesn’t need you to cool down.

  • Vrushabh3211

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

    @IBKR I shouldn't have to say I have billions when I have a disability support pension and just want to get a foot up. I also want to invest in a company that I believe in that will help a project hopefully

    @IBKR @IBKR I already contacted them - and they already contacted IBKR - the issue is IBKR won’t expose automation API service to them so they can integrate. Can you submit product request?

    @Alex_Steger_ @IBKR I am on Tasty Schwab Fidelity Hood and IBKR. I mostly trade on Ibkr or tasty or at times Hood. Everyone has their set of problems. But this issue is rather tough one to swallow.

    @IBKR_Europe Fix your desktop software installer for linux please @IBKR

  • Alex_Steger_
    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

  • AtierOfficial
    ATIER (@AtierOfficial) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Been waiting a whole month for your Transfer team to reach out to my current broker so they can transfer all of my positions to IBKR. How is this normal? The most rubbish customer service I have ever seen. If you dont help me asap I’m going to cancel my transfer request.

  • AiStockAgent

    @BloomDemark @IBKR I tried. It says I don’t have trading permission. Customer service taking forever to pick up

    @SixSigmaCapital @IBKR It works well for me, sometimes has some bugs, kinda annoying but the others are worst

  • BullDriven
    BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported

    @IBKR I have... they claimed they are waiting on finra regulatory notice but that is incorrect. That notice was issued 4/20/26 showing effective date 6/4/26. Other brokers are moving quick on this and your web ticket reps are uninformed. Many are waiting on this information. Pls help

    @joemccann @IBKR @ibkr has a horrible user-interface, i decided to stop using it and pay premium extra cost elsewhere where user interface is much more friendly. call me stupid but I have seen zero improvement by ibkr in the last 7 years - they do not even try

  • binaycjha
    Binay Jha (Chartered Accountant) (@binaycjha) reported

    @JacobMcGrew6 @IBKR Yes. It was a system issues which they are trying to resolve. But you need to call them and they need to reset all the accounts to make it work. After that you need to logout and login again.

    Is IBKR Paper Trader currently down? Why don’t I have permission to trade on the paper account anymore? @IBKR

    Name Can't Be Blank (@BearBullDebate) reported

    @OddDiligence yes you should have had a bulletin alerting you to that. And yes the clowns at @ibkr said they'd fix it, didn't, and then said resolved.
