    My goodness I can't wait to leave @IBKR now Friday and today always communication errors when trying to load the option chain and can't make a move. You guys absolutely suck and don't care a bit about your clients. Spare me the web ticket message you're about to drop.

    @blahajcapital @IBKR Im guessing they dont have enough onshore margin posted to cover their clients positions...there are no exchange problems....its bullshit

    @NotA_Bull you guys have been posting so much FUD all weekend I opened up @GodelTerminal and @IBKR expecting a slaughterhouse scene, and ... it's not that bad? And the $VIX is still relatively low at 15.27

    @IBKR Absolutely worst customer service experience of any company I have ever worked with by far. I hate you guys.

    I love how @IBKR still have PDT enabled like sorry I want to pay myself 10K daily? Also isn’t this note a ******* rule anymore? @IBKR wtf can you guys renew my ****? Today? Like before 3PM????

  • ALBACapMgmt
    🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported

    Im going to say something nice about @IBKR. After the Kospi futures and options debacle, they promptly recognised that clients may have claims and while I didnt really agree with the protocol for settling them, they settled them promptly with regular status updates. Not the worst.

  • Yishai__Cohen
    Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reported

    After @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).

    @IBKR It takes more than 10 days to open account in Israel and still waiting . This is level of service of the 80'.

    @TT_stocks_ Right on! Looking to switch from @IBKR to @WebullGlobal How are you finding the change. IBKR is terrible these days.

    @ravihanda @IBKR Does this mean IBKR account creations are basically frozen till they sort this out? wtf

  • Therichardralph

    @financewithjoe @IBKR Possibly on low value the Fx fees being higher Vs trade cost might not be so much of an issue.

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    Good grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!

    @Therichardralph @IBKR I’ve tried three times to create an account and log in with IBKR and have only ever got an ‘unknown error’. Not had that problem with T212 or other apps

    @Therichardralph @IBKR Robinhood? I find it stupid you cannot have more than 1 stocks and shares isa account with providers

    @cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Only issue with IKBR is they won't accept partial ISA trsnsfers in. Has to be the full portfolio for any given year.

    @monad @IBKR wtf is ibkr seems huge welldone team

  • ashrithgovind
    Ashrith Govind (@ashrithgovind) reported

    @defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your software is such a pos. It is not sending the notification to my phone for me to login. I cannot access my account. I tried logging in with the QR code and it shows page not found. I need access to my account. You are just the software in the market. Total garbage

    On @IBKR buy an options contract nothing wild just a put on a 100 lot of ZS. Contract was trading at .01 for the bid and .27 for the ask. I put the midway .14 literally smack in the middle. Contract instantly fills. For .21 lol like wtf man.

    @zxc68984008 @IBKR Low rates help, but leverage still magnifies mistakes. Read the margin rules, liquidation policy, and cash-rate eligibility before opening an account.

    Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported

    @IBKR I did that and out of frustration I have written here as they are asking to use my passport when passport is not in one of the options offered for Australia clearly documented in the ticket and screenshot I submitted. They only offer Australian drivers license and then on submission call id type invalid. The tech team on a call just mentions to try again rather than solving the issue and a musical chair game is going on between support and tech folks.

  • Ramblin_Rebel13
    Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported

    I have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC

    @Therichardralph @IBKR Trades not executing , I’ve used the platform for 3 years no problems ?

    @IBKR "‘Not urgency" must be your customer service mantra. It takes months just to handle a simple complaint.

  • _AcumenVentures
    Tim Williams (@_AcumenVentures) reported

    @jeremiahrogers @IBKR is horrible and their customer service absolutely sucks! Tried them and couldn’t wait to get my funds out - which they held for a stupid amount of time.

    @IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!
