🅰️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.

Carl Malartre (@Malartre) reportedEveryday I resent @IBKR's desktop app team using Java for the UI. It's great for them and terrible for all users. From the login to maximizing the app to the slowest column reorder in the world, it all sucks.

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

TheBigBerbowski (Jebaim) (@TheBigBerbowski) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR Did you submit deposit request first, and sent money after? Stupid question I know, but if not done in this very order it can cause hours of delays with your deposits.

PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@IBKR Can you fix your Order System on K200 Futures K200 Broken for past 30 minutes 0 Customer Services & 0 understanding how serious it is!!! Some Traders are losing millions out there and even might blow up if you don't fix your thing Answer needed for the Community

QuantCat (@justquantcat) reported@IBKR please fix, I’ve been having it for months now

Agent Smith (@AiStockAgent) reportedI can’t close any of my futures positions at interactive Brokers.. anyone else having this issue?? Bad timing for IBKR to be broken in this crazy market! @IBKR
-
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

peter (@hfbjg53287314) reported@senzu_capital @IBKR Same issue
-
Jason Appel (@JasonAppel10) reported@IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR

SGPrincess | 土皮公主 (@sg_princess_sg) reportedThis weekend will be dedicated to fix my IBKR desktop regular crash, watchlist not saved upon restart and TradingView connection issue. What a nightmare it has been with IBKR. I will leave when my current options positions got clear. It should be by end of the year. @IBKR I think u truly need to catch up with ur dinosaur tech deck, but I am completely fine with the fact that u don’t want to serve tech generation traders.

𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@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
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR hi, I have a disability support pension and I would like to do trading through you but your platform makes it near impossible and I would hate to think I would have to report you to the a Triple C for discrimination due to income. Perhaps we can work something out

James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported@IBKR the speed for es quote is very slow!!!!!

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?
-
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.

Reuben Walker (@bwalkers212) reported@IBKR Locked out of account. Software & telephone of no help. Artificial Intelligence consulted. Nothing works.

JackAttack (@SychoShadows) reported@IBKR Gee I can’t imagine how this could be terrible.
-
Market Mommy (@dontbsalti) reported@trader2179 @IBKR @whop Or IBKR has to explain why there’s a mathematical error in the post that is now deleted.

Korban (@AwokenApollyon) reported@rfcapital2 @etrade It’s been broken for literally ******* weeks. I’m about to move my money to @IBKR

sroy (@roy34340023) reported@IBKR Your India ops is a complete circus. The simulation is a joke, your customer service is clueless. Zero faith in doing any trades thru you.
-
Tim (@Tim158930786227) reported@Desi_Trade It’s one of those things I thought would never happen to me… just got notified from IBKR that they are shutting down my account. It’s crazy that they @IBKR does this.

Lei- レイライト 🐧 🍀 (@nottatowl) reported@Dream_S14 @IBKR me too , and live chat is 404 error @IBKR

BlackjackGod (@blackjack_god) reported@IBKR 24 hour access sounds like edge until you price 3 things: carry, margin calls, and overnight gaps. More table hours only help if your read survives the next open.

Bitget Support (@BitgetSupport) reported@yedior @GracyBitget @IBKR Please elaborate further on your concern or you may send us a direct message to properly address the issue.
-
Arno (@arnoblits) reported@CharlesSchwab @IBKR Today during the extreme volume spikes, the Java client completely locked up, preventing me from broadcasting closing orders to the exchange via AT. I’d appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.

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