Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Presleytal Tangled Web (@Presleytal) reported

    @mkmfitzgerald @IBKR BS. They were protecting the billionaires who got caught with their crooked pants down by a bunch of redditors. Even when the little guy can finally get a win, the big financial gurus find a way to eff them over to protect the richest people in the world

  • JamesRo95718607 James Robinson (@JamesRo95718607) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Thanks for speaking up Mark, its a sad thing that it is no longer a free market for all, just some. Just another attempt to kick the little man when he's down and unemployed from his career by the governments closure of businesses.

  • ROJAPA3 ROJAPA (@ROJAPA3) reported

    @gregasmaximus @calvinfroedge @IBKR IBKR works great, good app but poor customer service. I'm shopping for another one on principle I don't think Schwab restricted any trades

  • The1TrueDon Don Chee (@The1TrueDon) reported

    @SEC_Enforcement There is a lot of work to do to determine what happened today. Start with @IBKR, Citadel LLC and work your way down.

  • haydn_r6 haydn (@haydn_r6) reported

    @IBKR ridiculous that you are restricting buying rights. Absolutely unethical and wrong. You are terrible people for this

  • bullbearlovech1 bullbearlovechild (@bullbearlovech1) reported

    @INVESTMENTSHULK He is literally saying that @IBKR and other brokers tried to crash $GME so that shorts don't go bankrupt. I would have expected them to try and deny this, not talk about it in interviews...what the hell is going on?

  • AlexBrissFin Alex Briss (@AlexBrissFin) reported

    I am logging into my @IBKR account since months (I only long on $LK there LOL). I am going to buy $GME just to show the support.

  • XanderCrews34 AttorneyManbun (@XanderCrews34) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Their overlords are telling them to shut it down. Very obviously.

  • msgtretusaf J M Bourvic #VET 🌟🌟🌟 🇺🇸 (@msgtretusaf) reported

    @IBKR so your opinion is that it is bad for independent traders to stand up and fight with their money against institutional investors who short stocks, but it is perfectly fine for institutions to borrow 150% of the float hoping to make a killing by taking OUR money.

  • TuplaTupla Tupla (@TuplaTupla) reported

    @IBKR Damn IB. Maybe stop people from selling naked calls but let me buy some 🤔

  • MD12559280 Clayton Bigsby (@MD12559280) reported

    @IBKR **** you guys. I’m switching to another broker.

  • JacupsBoyz ALnaturAL🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@JacupsBoyz) reported

    IBKR is restricting after hour BUYs of Reddit plays!!!! WTF @IBKR

  • capital_retweet Retweet Capital (@capital_retweet) reported

    @IBKR ********??? Why does the situation have to subside? Fuckwits

  • LuisOviedo Luis A. Oviedo-Pérez (@LuisOviedo) reported

    @IBKR Also known as we can't screw you and are waiting for big daddy government to help rig the game again.

  • radioactivemman . (@radioactivemman) reported

    @IBKR **** you @IBKR . Literally killing my entire life savings right now and you call yourselves professionals? ******* crooks

  • AlexGrimshaw13 Alex Grimshaw (@AlexGrimshaw13) reported

    @IBKR what makes you allowed to manipulate markets like this? You stopped retail investment and allowed hedge funds who were shorted to a ridiculous extent, causing a huge price crash. @TheFCA these guys need investigating immediately this is market manipulation! @JohnGlenUK

  • jsmitty1181 Justin Smith (@jsmitty1181) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Don't forget about #Stash .. they were more egregious than Robinhood. Stash wouldn't even allow you to login. At least Robinhood allowed you to sell.

  • ManoosSadharan Sadharan Manoos (@ManoosSadharan) reported

    @IBKR Your hypocritical owner Thomas Peterffy comes on Bloomberg and claims why anyone would buy GME for 225 when it is worth 70. He puts ads promoting free markets then who ******** he is to curtail free market, hypocritical bastard

  • PortlandTrader Portland Trader (@PortlandTrader) reported

    @mkmfitzgerald @IBKR You're trading the entire float twice a day. What's the liquidity problem here? I can't buy stock with cash account or hold it without margin?

  • SophistUnpaid Fermi's Pair of Socks (@SophistUnpaid) reported

    @IBKR To anyone reading this thread. I think I found a new company worth shorting. It's a financial services firm that just pissed off THOUSANDS of clients just a day after shutting down due to volume. Ticker is IBKR. I'm betting this quarter's earnings will be way down.

  • mimranmkamal Imran Kamal (@mimranmkamal) reported

    @IBKR I have just asked all my friends whom I referred via IBKR not to open instead open with hargreaves lansdown. I will be going down the same route in the coming days. BAD decision IBKR

  • ahern_rob Rob Ahern (@ahern_rob) reported

    @IBKR @neilmacaogain you believe this ****? It’s all a fix. Crony capitalism,

  • brucegelin brucegelin (@brucegelin) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR My question - is it legal? If a person has not violated any laws in trading, how can they be shut down? Under what authority? And were retail traders the ONLY ones that were shut down? I got questions...

  • haydn_r6 haydn (@haydn_r6) reported

    @IBKR Open trading. I’m already moving to another broker. You are terrible

  • vayzer04 Jason Vaisvila (@vayzer04) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Talking about manipulation, but only allowing selling??? WTF???

  • JaysenPinchinat Jaysen Pinchinat (@JaysenPinchinat) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Integrity of the market start by asking how hedge funds was able to short over 💯 % of GME doubling down on the same shorted shares

  • RickyClarkeIII Ricky Clarke III (@RickyClarkeIII) reported

    @danielsowelll @5up3r_m4r10 @IBKR My only issue coming out of today was any brokerages who limited buys in cash funded accts. The margin, option explanations all pass to varying degrees, but limiting cash funded buys is and always should be illegal unless all trading is halted

  • 1975Rams Jeff (@1975Rams) reported

    @IBKR Chairman Peterffy states They shut down trading @GameStop BECAUSE Interactive Brokers must protect their Short Sellers BECAUSE Their brokerage accounts are leveraged & Short Sellers won't cover their losses

  • MatiasTrader Matias ☣ (@MatiasTrader) reported

    @IBKR **** you. Im closing my account

  • ACoolJuiceBox Doomscrolling into Despair (@ACoolJuiceBox) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Wow so the underlying issue here might be risk within the derivatives clearinghouse process. Maybe some members were unable to cover these losses. If only I didn’t write a paper about this exact thing. @ClintWroteThis
