    @IBKR is a garbage broker. I've been trying for 2 weeks to buy some international stocks and it continues to not work. Meanwhile I've had to watch my main pick go up 70%. I've reached out to support, wasn't helpful. Was told 2-4 weeks for a response on my followup ticket.

    My current long stocks in order of portfolio allocation %: $IREN $EOSE $NUAI $KRKNF $CIFR $OSCR $DGXX $POET I have mostly diversified because it makes me able to buy more IREN. @IBKR concentration house rules are the worst.

    I recently opened an IBKR Darwin account @IBKR @Darwinexchange - i was told the process would take 1 day I got my approval and tried to access the services but hit with “ineligible” to add funds. Darwin have told me it’s in IBKR’s hands and they cannot help me. It’s been 10 days now and nobody can help me. Pretty shocking experience so far

    @IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.

    @RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue

    @MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!

    @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)

    @IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.

    I lost about $5k yesterday due to liquidation. I tried moving $5k to @IBKR, but it failed despite having cash in my checking account. I don’t blame anyone; this is part of the game. Losing $5k after locking in $65k gains last month is insignificant. I always ensure I have enough buying power and SMA. My mistake was opening a large $HIVE.NE short put that eroded most of my buying power as collateral. Even though it will only use half of that collateral for margin maintenance, it used full cost as requirement until assignment. Was it risky? Maybe I was set to lock in $5k from that play yesterday if the price didn’t drop. The lesson is to avoid selling short puts that erode buying power. Buying shares is better on margin. Next week, I’ll have more buying power to buy back $EOSE, average down on $HIVE, and buy $KEEL (hopefully below $5 when Asia gets crushed Sunday and overnight due to leverage). I optimized my tax lot for $EOSE to ensure as part of that liquidation, it took out shares that had gains instead of FiFO or LILO. This way I work around wash sale if I buy back shares within the next 30 days.

    The level of incompetence at @IBKR is impressive. 8 days I've had my account locked with a position open costing me thousands of dollars. Everyday I'm on the phone with them for hours being passed to the next department @IBKR you guys suck so bad

    @IBKR I have been trying to open a professional account for a mounth now. (Charles Gave Media). I have sent absolutely every document under french law yet your compliance service, that must be outsourced, demands some more documents that do not exist under french law. You keep asking fir registre des bénéficiaires effectifs, we have given this document under lawyer signature many time now. You have the statuts, the Kbis, attestation from our lawyer, CEO signatures. After a month of going back and forth could you please, please DO SOMETHING about it?

    @IBKR Hello, I am trying to enable Options Trading Level 2 on my IBKR account in order to trade simple long calls and long puts on SPY. However, my request was rejected with the message saying that my financial profile does not meet the eligibility requirements. I would like to understand specifically what is causing the rejection and what exact requirements I need to update or meet in order to qualify for Options Level 2 trading permissions. Could you please review my account and advise me on the necessary steps to resolve this issue? Thank you.

    @IBKR run one of the best trading platforms in the world and one of the more embarrassing support desks attached to it. Almost 10 days of silence on a routine ISA request, after a cheerful "we'll revert soon." The bar is on the floor.
