    @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?

    @IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.

    @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

    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 "‘Not urgency" must be your customer service mantra. It takes months just to handle a simple complaint.

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

  • Ramblin_Rebel13
    Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported

    @FredrikEJohans2 @IBKR @CFTC It eventually got corrected after several hours, had to test it every 15min. But never got a notification on why it happened or when it was supposed to be resolved. Submitted a complaint to the CFTC regardless, super unprofessional reckless

    @Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.

    Everybody is talking about the @RobinhoodApp MCP, but almost nobody is talking about @IBKR launching something similar. Interesting choice, though: @IBKR went with a ChatGPT app instead of an MCP server, so I can't actually use it in codex. Only in ChatGPT.

  • StrategicDegen

    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.

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

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic

    @IBKR has great features but customer support is abysmal!

  • iamshraey_
    Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported

    @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?

    How do people deal with @IBKR? Literally 50% of the time I click any button, the page loads for 3–5 seconds and then just… doesn’t load at all (I get some error message)!

    @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.

    @IBKR I can't open my IBKR account. It’s been inactive for 6 months and I've been trying to reopen it for the last 2 months. Why is the interface not user-friendly? I've also been contacting customer support for a month, but their responses aren't helpful...

    @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.

    @alexkingsays @AskRobinhood Rey. Same experience. I eventually moved everything to @IBKR and haven’t looked back. Brokerage for adults, and actual customer support when you need it.
