    @neilazous @IBKR Always interesting have someone to cite factual data to help explain the general level of gloom and doom.

  • hedgefundsrati1 hedgefundsrating (@hedgefundsrati1) reported

    @IBKR ur platform is too slow impossible to trade , u have to wake up

  • GaiusMoonnus GaiusMoonnusSecundus 🩳🏴‍☠️💀 (@GaiusMoonnus) reported

    I am expecting 1 Million $GME #GME shares to magically be available to borrow for #stockmarket Fuckery, from @IBKR , before the end of the day. Shorts will then borrow these around market end bringing the price down by around 10%, irrelevant of the actual earning results!

  • crypticenzyme EA (@crypticenzyme) reported

    @IBKR Ur commision fee went up in Canada? Why r u hiding to customer that info? Option commision is ridiculous now. Long term investing using @wealthsimple now.

  • sayyes2jessFX Jessica Ramos (@sayyes2jessFX) reported

    I’m looking to work with a good international broker for options. Any suggestions? I’m testing out @IBKR & it’s been a huge headache. I want to use them but this platform has so many pop ups to get into a trade etc. Help😭😭😭

  • ChethanNav Chethan Nav (@ChethanNav) reported

    @IBKR It has been 2 days and still struggling with connectivity issues with NT. I am not getting enough help from the tech team. Should I consider closing the account or will someone help me get through this ???

  • Bart05275751 Bart🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Bart05275751) reported

    @IBKR Yeah I went through all the necessary doco to setup an account. Verified my login and password. Then waited for the email the next day confirming. So, I went to log in, with the same credentials & no dice. If your onboarding is this ****, then its best not to go any further.

  • SantosFefe4 Santos Ferreira (@SantosFefe4) reported

    @IBKR why your client's support are so bad ,It's about a week to get my funding proof verified ?it's really disgusting deal with this sh*** sitution, no answer back what's going on ? DM, Email are the same no one there to answer

  • EBookberg Prince Yuan - Dead Bankers Société 🐼 (@EBookberg) reported

  • Stelios_Athens Stelios (@Stelios_Athens) reported

    @IBKR This platform has THE WORST FILL FOR OPTIONS...by far.

  • classybucket Bubbles (@classybucket) reported

    @YahooFinance @IBKR @SteveSosnick Gotta love the people who made market bets with others money blaming the people calling their bad bets. When this all collapses, it's on the jackasses who thought they'd never be caught being arrogant and reckless with our entire country's economy, not the other side of the trade

  • redhat6 redhat (@redhat6) reported

    @sayyes2jessFX @IBKR I had some few more written down somewhere, I’ll find and send to you for consideration

  • androidfig Andrew Figallo (@androidfig) reported

    @YahooFinance @IBKR @SteveSosnick Stop trying to blame the Fed, it’s just an instrument to signal when (and how hard) to short the market. The powers that be make plenty of $$$ on the way down while average folks deal with inflation and a loss on their IRAs.

    @IBKR Never forget when Thomas shut down trading. He should be in prison.

  • NonoLondres Nono London (@NonoLondres) reported

    @squawk_hawk @thinkorswim how much did you get? IB has same type of issues but they will never recognize the problem, and certainly not give a compensation! @IBKR

  • pavla21578571 pavla (@pavla21578571) reported

    @IBKR i know which broker does not provide any lowest interest rates....don't live on debt...sure bet I'll buy a dumpling and sell it like a cake, .... that's a good service, but a bad master ... interest, that would make one pos.....l

  • BabyApeNation26 BabyApe (@BabyApeNation26) reported

    I'm still unable to buy $APE using @degiroeu and yet in my @IBKR account no problem? How the f*ck does that work....

    @YahooFinance @IBKR @SteveSosnick Individual investors like their stocks. What's the issue with that? Go bite the weenie yahoo "finance" #APE #AMC #GME

  • kevinsmithlevy Kevin Smith-Levy (@kevinsmithlevy) reported

    @IBKR hi team. You make it virtually impossible to create an ISA on your platform when I have an account already. Can someone help me please I would like to transfer two ISAs over to you. Why is it so hard to create an ISA!?

  • NotAManipulator NotAMarketManipulator (@NotAManipulator) reported

    @YahooFinance @IBKR @SteveSosnick The problem is the fundamentals are there. The shorts never closed. Melvin Capital said they closed..look at them now. In 2008 there were so many synthetic CDOs being created the initial transaction looked like a little insect. You would be crazy think that’s not happening now

  • igal_n Igal (@igal_n) reported

    @indexstudent @IBKR No, $ILUS was changed to Pink Limited early today due to an error of OTCM, but was quickly corrected and they’re Pink Current again. As for $QIND, I suggest you contact IBKR. Whatever flag was on it was removed, and it’s an OTCQB company — no reason they should restrict buying!

  • nedjutstark jutt (@nedjutstark) reported

    @IBKR pretty pretty impressed with their customer service except the app wonderful experience

  • squawk_hawk Adrian (@squawk_hawk) reported

    @NonoLondres @thinkorswim @IBKR Have no clue yet. Said it will be up to 48 hours. The balances are always off and having errors. I like ninjatrader for software but as a broker I don’t use them.

  • FaryRp21 Fabricio Rivera (@FaryRp21) reported

    @IBKR Hi good day. I created an account at IB and it was approved. When I wanted to transfer funds I could not enter more. I get a caption that says: "Your application has been deleted". Please help me, nobody answers my emails. Account fabricio360

  • ActuallyFinance BradFin (@ActuallyFinance) reported

    There are a lot of @IBKR annoyances, but I think the top one is that I can't easily check when I bought a stock. Seems like it should be an easy fix.
