    I want to know the qualifications one needs to work at @IBKR because boy when I tell you I feel like I'm talking to Wal mart customer service, these people don't have a clue.

    @IBKR It takes more than 10 days to open account in Israel and still waiting . This is level of service of the 80'.

    Limpidish (@Imz_isNoGood) reported

    @IBKR the worst investment platform I’ve ever dealt with! Random rules that forcibly convert currencies, AI shoved down my throat even when I clearly said it was not helping and I needed someone to look into my issue! So yeah, taking my business somewhere else.

    @TT_stocks_ Right on! Looking to switch from @IBKR to @WebullGlobal How are you finding the change. IBKR is terrible these days.

    @IBKR I would not recommend using this brokerage service as they seem to completely ignore any customer service. No human answers their telephone customer service line.

    @IBKR impossible to get any help when the new passkey doesn’t work. helpline wouldn’t go through unless I submit a ticket online but can’t submit a ticket w/out a passkey. There’s an email submission on the page, submission failed w no explanation. There’s 0 help w lost passkey

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!

    @keoneHD @IBKR Poor infrastructure simply scales problems faster. Good infrastructure scales opportunity.

    @optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)

    @IBKR Hello IBKR Support Team, I'm from Indonesia and need your help accessing my IBKR account. I'm unable to set up Two-Factor Authentication (IBKR Mobile Authentication). When I try to log in, I can't complete the security verification process, so I'm locked out of my account.

    @NickSchmidt Hey Nick. I've had a good experience with @IBKR . It doesn't seem to crash during extreme volatility like @CharlesSchwab does.

    @NotA_Bull you guys have been posting so much FUD all weekend I opened up @GodelTerminal and @IBKR expecting a slaughterhouse scene, and ... it's not that bad? And the $VIX is still relatively low at 15.27

    @MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.

    Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported

    @CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one

    Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported

    @IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2
