  • ThomasBraziel Thomas Braziel (@ThomasBraziel) reported

    @ChrisDeMuthJr @QTRResearch @IBKR Haha - IB customer service is usually the worst

  • JackArtistry Jackartistry (@JackArtistry) reported

    @IBKR guys, your margin calculation is off due to alphabet $GOOGL stock split. URGENT and fix before any markets open on Sunday night / Monday US time.

  • FlowAnalyst FlowAnalyst (@FlowAnalyst) reported

    @IBKR Hi, do you provide Advances/Declines index similar to TRIN-NYSE? Seems customer service isn't sure based on online threads.

  • RiseXBT Rise🍉 (@RiseXBT) reported

    @IBKR took around 18 hours from sign up to funding and first trade, not bad either

  • ekapobkul Ekapob (@ekapobkul) reported

    @EmmetPeppers @IBKR Do you think we will have a k-shape recovery once it's clear we are in a recession? I think the market likes certainty (both good or bad) and looks forward.

  • moroncarrot Thomas Pettersson (@moroncarrot) reported

    @IBKR Why would i want and support US stocks?

  • Gurdas_singh_ Gurdas singh (@Gurdas_singh_) reported

    @Rayner_Teo @IBKR Such a poor service

  • KTube86504880 KTube (@KTube86504880) reported

    @Rayner_Teo @IBKR Did IBKR fix your issues yet?

  • MacroForecaster Thunderhorse Brewery (@MacroForecaster) reported

    @_mumbling_me @IBKR 3) social media is bad enough without being forced to see what people post on LinkedIn just because you went to high school with them.

  • siemmert S I E (@siemmert) reported

    @IBKR I am trying to connect with any type of customer support, prior to transferring my account, but have been unable to do so from the app.

  • LewisL_1 Lewis_L (@LewisL_1) reported

    @ProfitsTaken @HeidiTrades @IBKR Switched to TOS couple of months ago after using Fidelity for years. I see crazy fills (bad) on TOS in comparison to what I used to get

  • Gurdas_singh_ Gurdas singh (@Gurdas_singh_) reported

    @Rayner_Teo @IBKR Such a poor service

  • bountyShorty Npzm (@bountyShorty) reported

    @IBKR Have you deleted my account and taken the money that was on it??? Your portal login says "application cancelled" and your retrieve ID procedure says "no match". Have you just taken my money???????

  • ___monty monty (@___monty) reported

    @IBKR Having issues logging in???

  • ProfitsTaken Peter Tarr (@ProfitsTaken) reported

    @HeidiTrades @IBKR You still want to check options and ensure you're real time with 0 delay but that has nothing to do with what you described. You described an execution miss. Common issue for ToS (TD) users.

  • mumboz mumboz (@mumboz) reported

    Dear @IBKR , for the sake of your customers, please post a deep dive of why TWS was having so many software issues today and how did the devs let such a crappy build make it to STABLE branch.

  • SVS_Subbaraju Subbaraju Sagiraju (@SVS_Subbaraju) reported

    @Rayner_Teo @IBKR Very unfortunate & pathetic (to hear that @IBKR is so lethargic that critical issues like these are not resolved for months together, esp, for a renowned & ace trader/investor like Rayner) What's wrong with you guys! 😢

  • luca_sino LucaSino (@luca_sino) reported

    @SmokeyStock I’m holding $MMTLP on my @Trading212 I had a talk on live support, they assured me they are going to replicate @IBKR according to final form S-1 approved by SEC. #goinglong #mmat $mmat

  • RememberToWater Tom (@RememberToWater) reported

    Over 2 months and @IBKR still can’t figure out how to process a simple form so I can actually use my account again! Starting to think I made a huge mistake - customer service is pathetic too :(

  • jerseyknight scott limberg (@jerseyknight) reported

    2 1/2 hour wait so far with customer support from @IBKR. I have better things to do with my time…

  • Rayner_Teo Rayner Teo (@Rayner_Teo) reported

    [32 DAYS] Hey Interactive brokers @IBKR, I can't access my client portal. Tried changing browser, VPN, clearing cache, mobile, etc. Nothing works. I've raised this issue 32 days ago via email and phone call. But still no updates. Help?

  • TomasForgac Tomas Forgac (@TomasForgac) reported

    - me to @IBKR: Why can't I convert all balance in one currency to another? - support: you're trying to convert XXX, which you don't have - me: no, you can see from the screenshot that I'm trying to convert only what I have - support: when you try to convert, it assumes 5% buffer

  • vvd2101 Vijay Desai (@vvd2101) reported

    @EmmetPeppers @IBKR @invest_answers made a good point, that cost to service debt is ~5.2% of GDP (assuming a 4% benchmark rate), which will be impossible when we grow slower than that. We could also use future GDP growth expectations to compute cap on interest rate.

  • ashappdev @ashappdev (@ashappdev) reported

    @levelsio @onveston @IBKR This can only be judged over a 10 year period TBH. But indexes beat most. CAGR of Tesla has been 50% since inception. But for many periods (3-4 years) you would be down 50%, not up 12,900% I’d argue accumulated tech indexes are the best. But we don’t have enough data yet.

  • ___monty monty (@___monty) reported

    @IBKR Is your service having issues? Can't login with connection error.

  • TomasForgac Tomas Forgac (@TomasForgac) reported

    for market order, the error message offers you to place limit order - me: no, the error message doesn't say anything like that as you should see from the screenshot, and when I try to convert 60% of the balance it does the same thing Why are you employing simpletons @IBKR ?

  • davidhagmann David Hagmann (@davidhagmann) reported

    Curious if anyone had an issue with @IBKR's sign-up incentives. Supposed to receive $1k in shares and just never did. Their customer service is awful: no record of the signup incentive, and they will not adjust manually. Huh? Would expect more from a reputable platform #IBKR

  • thegostev Alex Gostev 🇺🇦🇳🇴 (@thegostev) reported

    @onveston @levelsio @IBKR I do support the article based on my ammateurish experience. Maybe as I don’t have a separate investment account to forget about for 10 years.

  • _Preetesh Preetesh (@_Preetesh) reported

    @IBKR Can somebody from Head office call and attend the query. It’s been 7 days interactive India team is not paying attention to resolve the issues and we have serious impact on our business due to problems at your end. DM me for more details.

  • normajordan56 Norma Jordan (@normajordan56) reported

    @___monty @IBKR Good thing I didn’t wait for the customer support as they were unresponsive for my account to be fixed, I was referred to @zems_ins by a friend and they were able to resolve the problem.
