  • DavidKsaa loudbook (@DavidKsaa) reported

    @IBKR I doubt it you are the best maybe the worst

  • NickGiva Nick Givanovic (@NickGiva) reported

    @IBKR Instead of talking bollocks, maybe concentrate on answering the phone or dealing with your customers' problems. Worst brokerage ever. Everyone I know is leaving you.

  • isellpremium I Sell Premium 🍒🇨🇦 (@isellpremium) reported

    This needs to stop @IBKR!!!! You need to acknowledge that you have bugs on your platform and get them fixed ASAP. Your support team takes forever to reply and they just don't get it. There are serious bugs and they must be fixed (continued in the comments)

  • ZukosWorld Zuko (@ZukosWorld) reported

    @IBKR after 20 years with an account you can go **** your self. Tell Tom, not allowed to give the last name in chicago, to sucks the snotty end of my *********. what a piece of **** company you turned into.

  • abrahamjobs3 İbrahim (@abrahamjobs3) reported

    @IBKR Hi, I need support for IBKR. please respond me on DM

  • mherdel mherdel (@mherdel) reported

    @IBKR May we know, at least, what's going on with your platform? People losing money here! Such pathetic customer service...

  • isellpremium I Sell Premium 🍒🇨🇦 (@isellpremium) reported

    Leave a comment if you are facing the same problem (with screenshots if possible). This is the only way we can get @IBKR to wake up and take action.

  • TakTrades AT (@TakTrades) reported

    @IBKR is the system down?

  • StockNick1 Stonk Nick (@StockNick1) reported

    @Penny_Heist12 I know @IBKR don't let us trade it which is unfortunate...that won't help

  • CuongTruong777 Cuong Truong (@CuongTruong777) reported

    I support the establishment's legit businesses in the USA. I trade their companies' stocks on @Fidelity and @IBKR

  • LondonBoyPuffy Wolf Of Brixton (@LondonBoyPuffy) reported

    Not gonna lie not going to be using @Trading212 for CFDs anymore. The spread is ridiculous when they know you’re going to make money the halt buy orders but still allow sell orders they pick and choose what they’ll support after hours for. Yeah going to @IBKR for CFDs now.

  • homersimpson001 Homer Simpson (@homersimpson001) reported

    @IBKR is there a system outage? I can't access the website at all.

  • Retail_Whale Wags (@Retail_Whale) reported

    3/ 2 of which were @Fidelity & @IBKR - and you are here to tell me that won't cause panic selling in the markets on a grander scale? Looking for an easy out to an impending market crash, almost as if someone has been testing the waters.

  • JTrader126 Jay SinghⓂ️ (@JTrader126) reported

    @IBKR This is bullshit. Not the first time this happened during trading hours either. I'm definitely going to have a word with your support team. Took way too many losses due to platform issues.

  • mutfael2018 متفاءل (@mutfael2018) reported

    @IBKR Unfortunately bad customer service. Please reply to your.

  • Walamaking walamaking (@Walamaking) reported

    @IBKR Website is down, can't trade during trading hours. Wtf?!

  • bazooooka bazooooka (@bazooooka) reported

    @clocktowercap @midtown_rob @IBKR Yeah those who still aren't sure if their broker will come thru should have bailed. The T+2 issues makes me wonder who are the natural buyers for the rights at this point since they still will trade tomorrow. I guess some shorts maybe need to cover and traders can still flip.

  • lilith2u Lilith (@lilith2u) reported

    @IBKR Your polluting days are numbered big oil. bad investment to be sure

  • atillatorgay Atilla Torgay (@atillatorgay) reported

    @IBKR Your platform is down. Servers in the US, HK and AU are down. All in the same time. What is going on?

  • ZukosWorld Zuko (@ZukosWorld) reported

    @IBKR who ever heard of liquidating a fully paid for cash position to assess a monthly service charge., You are a bunch of crooked pieces of ****

  • nikol84312508 n (@nikol84312508) reported

    @IBKR "Borrow against your securities,.." WHO WOULD EVER DO THAT?? !! --just saying that phrase out loud without the meaning of money behind it?... Sounds like a really STUPID idea. And adding the meaning of money behind those words?- even more Stupid.

  • goldenboypierre Pierre B. (@goldenboypierre) reported

    Just a reminder to NEVER use @Questrade Their customer service is absolutely ******* terrible and they do not give a single **** about any of their customers. Not to mention the absolute dog **** desktop/mobile app. Transferring all my assets over to @IBKR **** y’all

  • wavetofindyou Javier Quintana (@wavetofindyou) reported

    @IBKR is down

  • KoolKatz420 KoolKatz (@KoolKatz420) reported

    Is there a way we can select what positions get liquidated first in a margin call at @IBKR ? They liquidated one of my biggest winners due to a bad print on illiquid stocks. Don’t mind the liquidation, but would be nice if we could prioritize positions

  • bigfungus968 Bigfungus968 (@bigfungus968) reported

    @IBKR hello I have stopped receiving the one time passcode to enter my account. I am currently in Italy and I was trading ok until late Friday, then no more code. I need to access the account. Can you help?

  • JPAdotcom JPA (@JPAdotcom) reported

    @NevoMagnezi @mrmoneymustache @IBKR For a long-term strategy seems to require massive guts. Huge S&P run-up over the past decade unlikely to last forever. 20% or 40% down year would be very unpleasant to stomach in a 3x fund. Maybe the bonds 3x takes away some of the pain but yikes. Too much downside for me.

    is the system down? @IBKR

  • NicolaCopernic Nicolaus Copernicus (He / Him) (@NicolaCopernic) reported

    @NickGiva @IBKR I love IBKR but it is true - their customer service is atrocious.
