  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Fix your goddamn TWS. Charts are loading too slow. “Attempting to retrieve data” my ***. Current price label is not loading most of the time. What kind of garbage are you providing for your clients.

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Daily reminder to fix the crappy TWS

  • RichAndFineMan RichAndFineMan (@RichAndFineMan) reported

    @IBKR what's wrong today? Not receiving security code to log in to TWS. I am losing money. Wtf!

  • RGibner Are Gee (@RGibner) reported

    @YahooFinance @IBKR @ThomasPeterffy4 agreed, however there is nearly zero chance the countries ( almost any) in the world could support the interest payments on their deficits at even half that rise and still have a currency that could buy dirt.. just sayin'...

  • SarPasTrade SarPas (@SarPasTrade) reported

    @iswholdings Still impossible to buy your stock with many brokers including @IBKR. Is there anything you can do to solve this issue? I'd like to buy some :)

  • HansKlo52217090 Hans Klos (@HansKlo52217090) reported

    @GCC_Trader @IBKR Broker that’s wouldn’t allow you to login when you need it or that deletes the trade history in my mobile app at close every single day and has staff that is clueless and speaks Indian English only is useless.

  • WellingtonWard7 Kevin Johnson (@WellingtonWard7) reported

    @IBKR your back end is down... i cant access account or settings or anything.

  • RealBrianWatt Brian Clifford Watt (@RealBrianWatt) reported

    the @IBKR has the money to throw payment for order flow under the bus (cuz they want you to pay them commissions, which is stupid) but they dont have the money to build a brand new trading platform...

  • mattlucasva Matt Lucas (@mattlucasva) reported

    @GCC_Trader @IBKR IT department is having a bad day, clearly. Still down.

  • firstlawofvol Newton’s FOMO (@firstlawofvol) reported

    @hyperconvexity @IBKR Can't possibly be as bad as @CharlesSchwab app. Took me 27 minutes (!!!) to execute a spread trade the other week which cost me almost $1000 in the time to get it done. The most glitchy, slow, unreliable app ever. In case you were looking to change...look elsewhere.

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @hyperconvexity @IBKR Yeah... I've had it fail to text me too. I had some issue with it where I had to call them and get them to disable my face ID or something like that. Turns out I had an incomplete application from a long time ago that I used face ID with, and it was locked to that. Weird.

  • nonDutchTrader NonDutchTrader (@nonDutchTrader) reported

    @IBKR service down after randomly changing permissions over the long weekend. Wtf is this...?

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Better fix those charts in TWS. “Attempting to retrieve data”

  • HedgedBook Hedged Book (@HedgedBook) reported

    *Noticed that it shows a slightly different % for my worst day, which was Jan 7, 2022 compared to the first week's tweet. I am using @IBKR and I feel it has to do with the fact that I took a screenshot at around 5-6 pm, and there was some trading in the after hours until 8 pm.

  • GeekWithAKnife Lumeneer (@GeekWithAKnife) reported

    @RealBrianWatt @IBKR I lasted two days on it. It's awful. they kept sending emails about why I haven't moved funds yet...

  • SenileCryptoJoe SenileCryptoJoe (@SenileCryptoJoe) reported

    @IBKR Better fix the website ASAP

  • mario46790594 mario (@mario46790594) reported

    @IBKR Is there any issue with TDS i cant see live info

  • knutolee knutolee (@knutolee) reported

    available shorts @Fidelity and @IBKR, but the borrow fee remains incredibly low (between 0.6 and 0.8%). Conclusio: I fail to understand this market movement (bear in mind, I'm an idiot) and I'd greatly appreciate a plausible explanation for all of this. Could you help? 👉👈😳

  • tseno_tsenov Tseno Tsenov (@tseno_tsenov) reported

    @IBKR help!!! Spent hours trying to withdraw my money from your platform. I can't even buy stocks because my capital went under 25k so now I'm classified as PDT 🤔 how!!!!?? I can't even use the chat 😢

  • noodle_hat Phil 🦇 (@noodle_hat) reported

    @RayTL_ @IBKR if you get portfolio margin account with IB you can use their pre borrow service and pay a fee to pre borrow before open, may give them time to find the shares early and hold them for you. ive set it up but not used it it yet...
