-
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
-
Olivier (@flukigero) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)
-
Vj (@VJ_303) reported@IBKR No communication channel work...you can try your self as outsider...you will not able to reach your own customer care..... check and call Qatar contact number on ur website, try chat you will receive nothing???
-
STACKDOE (@STACKDOE) reported@IBKR by far one of the worst ui is ancient its 2026 ! mobile app made to make you lose money... not sure who even gave it the green light. just awful on so many levels.
-
pastperformer (@pastperformerAU) reported@ilia_el_pro @MaxCarozza @IBKR I had the same issue. Seems like they are scrambling to fill the book.
-
嘤嘤不苦🚩💪💪 ❤️中国❤️ 💪💪 (@yingying_n70783) reported@IBKR not bad
-
The Boston View (@TheBostonView) reportedWhen you reflect on the very poor customer support offered by @IBKR, the endless software glitches, and the that they don't even bother to produce a well designed app for the iPad--consider this: the company has enormous cash on its balance sheet. It could fix it all anytime.
-
C.S.N. Iyer (@iyerchandrru) reported@IBKR Hi Facing problem in transferring funds, pls how to proceed further…
-
MikasaSukasa (@MikasaSukasaN) reported@IBKR I am ok with a slow server if you guys find a way for people to invest directly from pakistan without having to use @wise or some other roundabout method
-
Prof.Coin 𝕏 (@Crypto_Educator) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR They grew too fast and their support has always been the weakest link
-
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….
-
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝗽™ (@Meeptimelive) reported@TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Sounds like broke people problems ngl
-
cryptoworldrich.eth (@spectrelb) reported@IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.
-
Institut des Libertés- Université de l'Epargne (@IdLibertes) reported@IBKR I have been trying to open a professional account for a mounth now. (Charles Gave Media). I have sent absolutely every document under french law yet your compliance service, that must be outsourced, demands some more documents that do not exist under french law. You keep asking fir registre des bénéficiaires effectifs, we have given this document under lawyer signature many time now. You have the statuts, the Kbis, attestation from our lawyer, CEO signatures. After a month of going back and forth could you please, please DO SOMETHING about it?
-
Ten Beers (@NBee007) reportedI 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
-
Chop City² (@chopcity_da_2nd) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR Damn...
-
jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported@alexkingsays @AskRobinhood Rey. Same experience. I eventually moved everything to @IBKR and haven’t looked back. Brokerage for adults, and actual customer support when you need it.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.
-
Max the VC 👨🚀 (@mreiffy) reported@IBKR You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you
-
Forward Unemployed Engineer (@waltuuuhr) reported@stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least
-
Orange is Hope (@orangeishope) reported@IBKR after updating your app. I lost all my account with my $MSTR shares in it. HELP. PLEASE.
-
SGTano (@SG42353041) reported@IBKR @D3GSolutions The app us awful. I switched back to workstation still bad but better than the app.
-
EV Bike Dude🇪🇺🇮🇪 🇸🇰🔋☀️⚡🤖👾 (@eu_bike) reported@STACKDOE @IBKR When did you last use it and what's your specific issue? It's way better than e.g. Revolut. My only issue is it can be slow at times, especially with updating totals but is quite flexible. Alerts need work for sure.
-
jazz (@hspnyc) reported@IBKR no support at all as I’ve been waiting days for my account to be setup.
-
TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported@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.
-
Atenov int. (@Atenov_D) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR can't even get a simple issue resolved
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@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
-
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
-
Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR It takes me less than 1-minute to login to E*TRADE no matter the platform.
-
Robert (@bobjshine) reported@IBKR Need login support ASAP
