  @IBKR Literally the worst broker imaginable. They block tickers now, they price cap anything remotely volatile, even large caps so you're stuck in a bad trade or can't enter a good one. This broker is anti-success. High fees and trading interference. Run from this broker.

  @IBKR lol this hits different when you're already down 40% on some random altcoin, ibkr dashboard just feels too clean compared to watching charts on your phone at 3am

  @IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.

  @IBKR your desktop app doesn’t work! Fix it FFS!

  Everybody is talking about the @RobinhoodApp MCP, but almost nobody is talking about @IBKR launching something similar. Interesting choice, though: @IBKR went with a ChatGPT app instead of an MCP server, so I can't actually use it in codex. Only in ChatGPT.

  @RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue

  @Fidelity having problems two mornings in a row. Time to start shuffling money to @IBKR

  @vijucat @IBKR Absolute garbage platform. (Service too.) I've given up. Use all 3rd party tools. Data, metrics, reporting. Even the API is meh. @IBKR is a awful. Actively looking for alternatives. I simply cannot believe their stock price. If investors knew how ****** they are...my god.

  @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic

  @solana @calilyliu Tokenized. Cool. @IBKR has it too - regulated, insured, no seed phrase (to loose). Liquidity on Nasdaq ≈ no problem

  Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported 20 minutes ago

  @vijucat @IBKR Bro I even have a "private" number for bespoke service. I call it, and then he calls the ******* real number which reaches a ******* call center in India... I'm ******* ded.

  Ten Beers (@NBee007) reported 20 minutes ago

  I thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction

  Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reported 24 minutes ago

  I think @IBKR is the worst website interface and support experience I have ever had. That includes the DMV, gov tax website, etc.

• 
  TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported 27 minutes ago

  @IBKR Your ticket response was awful. It was just a bot message that provided no assistance. I have now been subject to PDT blackout rules for seven business days. This is ridiculous.

• 
  Outlier Capital (@outlierrcapital) reported 33 minutes ago

  @IBKR You are a terrible company and my fund would currently be performing better if it was elsewere

  @kiantrades @discord_support Yes, Discord and @IBKR both terrible services for traders. My rant for the day. Lol

  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 40 minutes ago

  @IBKR I would really appreciate if every response did not say the same thing. Then I would know I am actually talking to a person and not a computer-generated response. That just shows how little you truly care about customer service and why you are in my opinion the worst

  @IBKR today I have tried to open TWS in 3 different PCs and it stalls at the "reading layout configuration" screen. I uninstalled the latest version of the software and installed the stable version and had the exact same results. Never had this problem before. I accessed your website and there is no record of such problem currently.

  @IBKR Boston might come out okay down the road but in no way did they win this trade.

  @IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!

  On the @IBKR institutional Client Services line, an India call center handles my security issues. It takes >2 hours to work through my 2FA issues. On the @IBKR retail Client Services line, I speak to a US person and it takes less than 15 minutes to work through the SAME ISSUES.

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your broker Too slow !!

• 
  Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported 55 minutes ago

  Just got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.

  @IBKR R U not even reading what I am saying?? When I call the customer support numbers you direct me to the automated response demands my account number which I cannot access RU simply an automated response as well??

  @monad @IBKR Monad has so much bullish news, and I don't care about the price. I don't understand why. Mon is falling in price again. What's the problem, dear Monad, why so! Can't you raise the price of Mon
