toti (@Aonnoa_) reported@IBKR You must have Push notification enabled on your Phone to confirm your withdrawal request within the app. Otherwise please login to Client Portal and confirm your Withdrawal request. ?
-
C pyles (@Cpyles42) reported@IBKR Is there a problem with your trading platform? Just lost ability to trade futures! No one answering phone or chat.

π’π¦π©π¦π°π±π―ππ’π’ (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?
-
Market Mommy (@dontbsalti) reported@trader2179 @IBKR @whop Or IBKR has to explain why thereβs a mathematical error in the post that is now deleted.
-
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR Iβm unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me

Debra Robinson (@DebraG_Robins) reportedAnybody else having issues with their IBKR account and viewing their portfolios? @IBKR
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR Your desktop software's Linux installer is broken.
-
Pps831 (@Pps831) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has pretty bad data imo. Even in their api they mention that it should not be relied upon or something like that.
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
-
jacob (@FreeDrThug) reported@yeaaahzzz @IBKR Itβs not terrible at all lol. Which platform do you think best? Or rather list a few that are materially better?
-
Arno (@arnoblits) reported@CharlesSchwab @IBKR I have gone through your standard support channels before, and the result is always a deflection of accountability back onto my local hardware. The issue is not my machine's optimization; it is the fundamental architectural bottleneck of your legacy Java-based platform.
-
Wolf B. Boehme (@WolfBBoehme) reported@IBKR I don't need your advice. Just fix your technology.
-
Eight Seven (@kjeightyseven) reported@trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why donβt you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.
-
James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported@IBKR the speed for es quote is very slow!!!!!
-
DividendMillennial (@DividendMil) reported@GeorgeFChahine @IBKR I might open an $IBKR account. I have heard great things and schwab is slacking a bit in their customer service
-
DC (@HalifaxDC) reported@speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR I think I know why it might have happened to me. There was some kind of form about API Authentication that I was supposed to sign when I logged into the Client Portal a couple of days ago. I was in a hurry, so I passed over it, figured I'd do it later. Apparently, that might have been enough. The worst thing is, for some reason, they cancelled my Stop Loss on the live trade that I was in, but didn't cancel the trade itself (let that one sink in). Luckily, the trade went in my direction a bit, so I was no worse for wear. I still stayed on the phone, on hold, after that, because I was going to give them an earful ... but at the 2.5 hour mark of being on hold, I threw in the towel and hung up.

Keeping it real (@shelterfrmstorn) reported@IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.
-
BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported@IBKR I have... they claimed they are waiting on finra regulatory notice but that is incorrect. That notice was issued 4/20/26 showing effective date 6/4/26. Other brokers are moving quick on this and your web ticket reps are uninformed. Many are waiting on this information. Pls help
-
J (@Blue_1Trades) reported@IBKR Why does your platform run so awful. Also, I did an ACH transfer into my account that I initiated on Friday and the funds aren't settled in my account. What's the deal? @CharlesSchwab settles my funds after 2 business days. What is the deal ?
-
QuantCat (@justquantcat) reported@IBKR please fix, Iβve been having it for months now
-
BatCAt (@BatcatCA) reported@IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.

-
sroy (@roy34340023) reported@IBKR Your India ops is a complete circus. The simulation is a joke, your customer service is clueless. Zero faith in doing any trades thru you.
-
π’π¦π©π¦π°π±π―ππ’π’ (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR if you think I'm going to shut up. If you ignore me you've got a whole different problem. I will not back down or shut up until some responses found and a resolve of this issue is met

-
Adi (@adi_baradwaj) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has surprisingly good API support for a boomer product
-
Jason Appel (@JasonAppel10) reported@IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR
-
JackAttack (@SychoShadows) reported@IBKR Gee I canβt imagine how this could be terrible.

Clausius investments (@MinhungShih) reported@IBKR please fix your stupid, ugly iOS app. Pathetic in the age of AI. Cc @vladtenev
