Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ponzi Trader (@buyerofponzi) reportedThe level of incompetence at @IBKR is impressive. 8 days I've had my account locked with a position open costing me thousands of dollars. Everyday I'm on the phone with them for hours being passed to the next department @IBKR you guys suck so bad
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedI have to switch brokers @IBKR has some serious issues with their app. It's like 10x slower than any other brokerage to navigate to trade. Then stop limits don't even work on stocks with a penny spread it's bizarre
-
Jeff (@jmclarty) reportedHappy 19-year customer of @IBKR here. This is the first feature WS rolled out where I'd consider moving all 6 of my accounts. Let me know an ETA for when you can ship this, I'd rather not move.
-
Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported@IBKR you have terrible cutomer service. If someone is denied a product and can't reapply for 30 days then how and when exactly are people supposed to get a chance to submit additional information for consideration? Your reps on the phone are so frustratingly stupid.
-
Atul Sinha (@5131b69341dc4dc) reported@IBKR Please arrange a call on 8604332700 / whatsapp assistance for help
-
Joel - coffee/acc (@JoelDeTeves) reported@IBKR I want to use my own models running on my own hardware. Please provide an MCP server or something other models can connect to
-
Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@NBee007 @IBKR Disaster trying to login through the Website Portal on a Lap Top, only to be directed to the Cell APP, then back to the Portal for another type of Code, a SMS Code, a Challenge Code, then to a page on the Lap top Website to scan a code on your phone app (why when I am logging in on my laptop??), then over here, then there, then 2 hours is gone and still cannot login. Cannot submit a request for help unless you can login. Try calling? Cannot understand what the person is saying. Pathetic Platforms. Then, as Ten Beers has observed, you get a Canned Response in "X".
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.
-
kingran (@KingranYama) reportedThe AI customer support agents give you useless canned information. These AI agents do not understand the nuances of the qst, which is okay, but refusing to pass the qst to human agents in not okay. @IBKR I pay you guys serious money in commission. Can I get some help?
-
ELhuron DasWiesel (@ElhuronD33244) reportedHey @IBKR ! Why is it that your stock newsfeed in the individual tickers is so bad? It shows completely irrelevant information 95% of the time. And if it's relevant judging from the headline it doesnt work half the time when you click on it. This is really annoying.
-
Vacuum Cleaner (@agivacuum) reported@blondesnmoney as @IBKR number 1 influencer can you plz suggest they fix their web app while you're at it..
-
Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reported@IBKR @Darwinexchange ????? Both of you are telling me to contact the other. This is a service provided directly through your company with each other. Can someone please assist me ?
-
Haddie (@Haddie168) reported@IBKR @bull_jared39128 Hey IBKR, since you are responding on X now, how about addressing the issue I raised last Monday. Your 10.45.1 forced update broke the TWS RTD. No one from customer service will respond to my support ticket, no one responds to Facebook comment and no one responds to X
-
jazz (@hspnyc) reported@IBKR please help.
-
Niall B🅰️rry 🇺🇦 (@BarryNiall) reported@RabbittLeader @IBKR But if Musk is willing to throw stupid money at shorting, for the bigger prize of his IPO offer price, could he not be a big AST price influencer pro temp?
-
miracle-dan (@yunyuntian) reported@IBKR IBKR, I am a refugee and I want to support you, but you use address verification to shut me out.
-
Bobby Plewniak (@BoBbyPleWniaK) reported@jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose
-
Violet (@belfort0609) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR I told them to go **** themselves in the email closing my account. Never going back. Their building janitor can run their ops desk better than every keyboard monkey on there combined.
-
ilia (@ilia_el_pro) reported@TheFlowHorse can i ask why when i trade on @IBKR i tried after hours etc and even if there is trade on nasdaq route at that bid price my bid orders is not execute even with 1% lower price or is like lagging sometimes to like that while hyperliquid/binance perps dont have this issue
-
Capital Helmut 69 (@FranklinBobMor1) reported@coinbase is such a piece of garbage, this happens on a regular basis, especially when you try to send crypto elsewhere. Can you imagine @IBKR or @Fidelity ever being down even once? Even if they were, they have customer service numbers you can call, unlike Clownbase. F these guys.
-
Orange is Hope (@orangeishope) reported@IBKR after updating your app. I lost all my account with my $MSTR shares in it. HELP. PLEASE.
-
Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR It takes me less than 1-minute to login to E*TRADE no matter the platform.
-
realbd (@real_BD_2025) reported1/ Samsung Securities just became the first korean broker to launch an online omnibus account service if you have an @IBKR account, you can now buy korean stocks without opening a korean account
-
abxx (@abdullah_717) reported@IBKR why it’s impossible to get help from IBkr It tries to keep taking me to The FAQ questions Brother if I really wanted that I would used some AI to know
-
Michael Blau (@blauyourmind) reportedEverybody 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.
-
***** Not CISSP® 🔹 (@0x7fff9) reported@IBKR dam son, I read "Interactive Bonkers" and wanted to ask if you wanted help on cyberz.. but now I realize is "brokers" and feels pep_sad.
-
TruthFreedomPeace (@TheLepsGold777) reported@SOBRBC @IBKR If you got the "missing libxcb cursor library" error during installation,try using Synaptic Package Manager and search for libxcb-cursor0 and install that and then the IBKR Desktop install should work.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.
-
Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reported@IBKR I have been waiting for a reply from support for 10 days on an issue i’m experiencing with my new account….
-
FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported@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.
