    @Sanji_vals @IBKR You can use the second 2Auth with an authenticator app from google or microsoft. Just make sure to connect them with cloud. If you loose your phone, download the app on the new one and login wirh authenticator app. Its really annoying to contact support, which is so difficult.

    @IBKR A new week begins. When would you stupid team cancel pdt rules?

  • TT_stocks_
    The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR Worst customer service in history I’m not joking. Took them (6) months to reach out to me about my inquiry about a simple rebate on my $371,000 in commissions I spent. At the end of it all they said there is nothing they can do. ******* worthless

    @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 do you ever solve problems. When faced with a question your customer service reps just leave the chat room. Your tech does not work (docusign process, image upload on chat etc.) And your reps have no intention to solve anything.

    @SquawkStreet @IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972

    @optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)

    @IBKR When are you going to fix your downtime? Any compensation for us users?

    @WebullGlobal < @IBKR Trying to track real-time market structure or apply quantitative modeling is impossible when the platform holds the data hostage. Here is exactly what is happening under the hood. How Your Location Determines Routing: Your residential address dictates your backend routing. Because you aren't in New York, Webull actually routes your crypto execution and custody through Coinbase, not Bakkt.Bakkt (which holds a specific virtual currency license from the New York State Department of Financial Services) is used almost exclusively for residents of New York, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Your chart and watchlist discrepancies are being pulled directly from Coinbase's liquidity pool, not a New York firm. The 4-Hour Candle Bottleneck: You cannot properly scalp momentum if the chart refuses to paint the current price action.Webull's charting software is designed for retail bandwidth efficiency, not professional-grade tick data. On higher timeframes like the 4-hour, the platform often relies on server-side OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) snapshots. Instead of pushing live, tick-by-tick data to build the active candle dynamically, the UI saves processing power by waiting until the 4-hour interval officially closes before rendering the final candle. It completely breaks any real-time structural analysis. Does IBKR Have This Issue? No. Interactive Brokers is built for direct market access, and their Trader Workstation (TWS) streams data differently.Dynamic Charting: TWS streams professional-grade tick data across all timeframes. Your 4-hour candle will build, wick, and fluctuate dynamically in real-time. Different Routing: IBKR does not use Coinbase or Bakkt. They route crypto execution through Paxos Trust Company and Zero Hash. Transparent Pricing: Instead of baking a wide spread into the price, IBKR charges a flat 0.12% to 0.18% commission with no hidden markups. Transitioning your active trading operations to a direct-access broker with an integrated data streaming hub will immediately solve these retail-level UI bottlenecks

    @IBKR I’ve been a customer for 10 years. I’m quitting it n moving my pot over to another broker. Customer service sucks, they move your funds without your consent and are not forthcoming with the reasons for doing so

    @_charles289 @IBKR no problems.

    @IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.

    @IBKR The system is completely down and we can't trade! The downtime is causing real financial losses. How will IBKR compensate affected users for this outage? Please address this immediately! 🤬😤😤😤😤😤

    @IBKR Boston might come out okay down the road but in no way did they win this trade.

    @IBKR Fix your fxxking app/platform. This is unacceptable during market hours

    @IBKR It’s been half an hour and the system is STILL down! Everyone on X/social media is furious right now. Users are taking huge losses because of your outage—how are you going to compensate us for this? Fix this NOW! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

    @IBKR you customer service is useless, not once did they mention how failed transfer attempts cost £££ each time. your website ui is awful. Attempted transfer failed twice now and you have taken all most of my £100 is fees… you need to make it clear for new users.

    @IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.

    @keoneHD @IBKR Poor infrastructure simply scales problems faster. Good infrastructure scales opportunity.

    @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?

    @kyingda @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972

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

    @IBKR Your status page is showing no issues, but for the last 2 hours I haven't been able to access my paper trading account. "NAV Calculation currently unavailable". What's up?

  • BaronVonGarray
    Baron Von Garray (@BaronVonGarray) reported

    @IBKR placing surveys within the trading application that interfere, even for 5 seconds, with my ability to conduct business, is a sure fire way to royally piss off a customer. These surveys are out of control.

    @IBKR during the registration you can pick a password that is longer than 40 characters. that breaks the login in the mobile app (probably truncated client-side) until you change your password to one that is less than 40 characters. please forward to your portal engineering team or whoever that can investigate
