  Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported 2 minutes ago

  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

  @IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.

  @IBKR I wont even try to open an account. Too many people I know and respect complain your UI is horrible. Not going to until you guys get inboard and invest in your mobile and desktop UI

  Sidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).

  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.

  @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is 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?

  @StateInterOffic @IBKR It's totally unacceptable. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

  @IBKR Another load of bollox posted by google that has **** all to do with my UK timeline or interests. GOOGLE HAS REMOVED MY FACILITY TO REPORT SPAM/SCAM ADS BUT STILL BOMBARDS MY ACCOUNT & TIMELINE WITH **** ADS LIKE THIS. GOOGLE ARE THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS

  Obscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day

• 
  Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported 32 minutes ago

  @Dilpree28887118 @IBKR A lot of distress and frustration. There's absolutely no reason for them to block my access to my accounts. It's unethical. The affected customers. They must be sued, and an ALERT must be issued to customers to avoid the BAD SERVICE and disrespect of this trap called ibkr.

  i trade options.com (@optiontrador) reported 33 minutes ago

  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????

  fundamentally its a bargain (@its_fundamental) reported 34 minutes ago

  @IGcom @Therichardralph @IBKR Says the company whose platform is down at a crucial time of day as market opens in US. I would suggest looking at ii - they are a quality operation unlike IG. IG will just disappoint.

  RoninTraders (@RoninInvestors) reported 36 minutes ago

  @Therichardralph @IBKR Hey, was thinking of opening an IBKR account for S&S ISA, do they support 24/5 trading like trading212? Searched online but getting mixed answers

  @LidoFinance @IBKR hot damn lfg!

  Richard • Investing & FI (@Therichardralph) reported 42 minutes ago

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

  FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported 44 minutes ago

  @IBKR Worst broker for trading small caps on the planet. They will lock you from exiting your position whenever they feel like it and you will lose 5-10x more before the cap is lifted.

• 
  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 45 minutes ago

  @IBKR fix your ******* app!!!! My lord it's absolute dog ****. Sell lots out my shares LIFO and your system then does FIFO when it's clearly marked correct. Then on the backend in change tax lots it shows correctly. Yet today nor the next day will I get credit in my SMA or NL

  @IBKR is down during trading hours. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and unable to log in to their account?

• 
  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 49 minutes ago

  Dear @IBKR it's 2026 and you need to update and do some serious work to your IBKR mobile app for people who actively trade. When I call in people act as if nobody even uses it which isn't true. Get that thing like TWS and give TOS a run for its damn money.

  Why is @IBKR down ? Can’t login!!!

• 
  Limpidish (@Imz_isNoGood) reported 59 minutes ago

  @IBKR the worst investment platform I’ve ever dealt with! Random rules that forcibly convert currencies, AI shoved down my throat even when I clearly said it was not helping and I needed someone to look into my issue! So yeah, taking my business somewhere else.

• 
  Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported 59 minutes ago

  @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

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