    After being a customer for 20+ years at @IBKR, I’m seriously considering changing brokers. Earlier this week, I got a margin call notice, which made no sense because my account is fully funded. Turns out it was tied to an old secondary account I created years ago to sweep in some non-marketable securities — you know, those dregs we’ve all held onto that technically went to zero but still somehow show up in the account. (Don’t lie, you’ve done it too.) Anyway, this account has sat idle for years, and for some reason it incurred a $12 charge, which pushed the zero-balance account into a margin call. I’ve tried contacting @IBKR numerous times about this, but if you know anything about IB, customer service is not the reason you use them. I even wired funds into the account to clear it. They show they received it, but I can’t find any record of it being credited, and I suspect it may have been applied to the wrong account. There was a time when it made sense to use Interactive Brokers because they had aggressive commissions and access to hard-to-trade issues. But nowadays, that advantage is mostly gone. I’m seriously wondering why I would stay with them when such a minuscule issue has turned into such a major pain in the ***.

    @AiStockAgent @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.

    @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?

    I have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.

    @trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why don’t you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.

    @IBKR If I chose a timeframe on the chart, 1 month, 1 year, 5 years, I should see the percentage of progression during this period. Your stays fix on the daily percentage. It’s not a bug but your choice grok said

    @JasonAppel10 @IBKR All brokers have some system issues from time to time ! So, in that respect you can't guarantee 100% reliability anywhere. Still to find a broker that beats IBKR all things taken into account.

    @IBKR there is no way you are the #1 rated trading platform. When a client with $1 mm in liquid cash & 20+ years trading experience, and a credit rating of 800+ does not have approval to buy $IBIT you have a problem.

    @HalifaxDC @chessdunk @IBKR Yeah they will have to fix it. Let me know what they say if you don’t mind as to what’s happening.

    @stoneymonster @TradingThomas3 Cause IBKR is ****. They know their data is wrong (for the past 15+ years), and they don't give a damn. @IBKR

    Beware that if you run into a problem at @IBKR you may find yourself completely abandoned. I have a claim open for 5 months now for a dividend they did not process, now I have posted a claim for the lack of response, nobody is responding to any of those. Horrible service!

    If you're tired of spam calls and you don't want to pay for a streaming music service, just call @IBKR and sit on hold. You can stay connected for a long time before they answer and you won't receive any spam calls. win/win.

    @Alex_Steger_ @IBKR I am on Tasty Schwab Fidelity Hood and IBKR. I mostly trade on Ibkr or tasty or at times Hood. Everyone has their set of problems. But this issue is rather tough one to swallow.

    @marketswithmags @TradingLucid Why Prop firms make it so hard for people to cash out money they earned? @IBKR doesn’t need you to cool down.

    @IBKR Please inbox me for more information in and if you're willing to help me fix this issue you shouldn't (discriminate) due to financial capacity and I don't use the word discriminate lightly.

    @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

    @IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!
