    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR very bad experience! My profile access was restricted without any explanations. Contacted customer support multiple times without any response. Totally unethical practice by IBKR!

    @IBKR I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me

    @Desi_Trade It’s one of those things I thought would never happen to me… just got notified from IBKR that they are shutting down my account. It’s crazy that they @IBKR does this.

    @IBKR Why is TWS doing the following all of a sudden? Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time. Aggravating as hell.

    @joemccann @IBKR It is not clean. It is some of the worst data you can use. Good luck. 🫡

  • HalifaxDC

    @speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR They apparently cancelled my order, and now it's saying I'm still short 150,000 Euros, but the problem is my base currency is USD and it won't let me switch it back. On hold with them on their "emergency number" lol. I'm going to assume that they have to fix it, in the end.

  • Olde_Pharte
    RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported

    @IBKR Useless. Can't login and am told to get help by phone. But they don't answer the phone. They refer me back to their support page which says I have to call. Thank God they've got very little of my money.

  • mindfultrader22
    mindfultrader (@mindfultrader22) reported

    @IBKR your platform went down in the middle of trades and cancelled orders, resulting into loss of profit. You guys didn't even give an update. Haven't been able to place orders since more than an hour. PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE #futures #trading #ibkr

    @KairosPraxis Hate @IBKR with a passion. Most horrid application process ive ever used, they port you to some papertrade version of the app and then you're trapped there. Ongoing applications dissapear, ever action takes multiple clicks, pages, dead time. Errors everywhere in app andbrowser🤯

  • AtierOfficial
    ATIER (@AtierOfficial) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Been waiting a whole month for your Transfer team to reach out to my current broker so they can transfer all of my positions to IBKR. How is this normal? The most rubbish customer service I have ever seen. If you dont help me asap I’m going to cancel my transfer request.

    @dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Whop is the worst platform ever, they truly don't care about the customers at all, they are all about the commissions they get from the course sellers.

  • bwalkers212
    Reuben Walker (@bwalkers212) reported

    @IBKR Locked out of account. Software & telephone of no help. Artificial Intelligence consulted. Nothing works.

  • ALBACapMgmt

    @l1quid1ty @IBKR but yeh i get your point...its an exchange issue whoever that exchange may be. Clearly this isnt the case with otc stuff like fx which is obviously their issue.

    @DebraG_Robins @IBKR Yes. The problem is they dump Silver all night long

  • amitpg
    Amit Gandhi (@amitpg) reported

    @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.

  • WaRidgway1

    @TheTechInvest @IBKR Lost over 30k on options lately, only doing sureish bets now lol; although in saying that did good last year, so can’t complain

    @super509219312 @IBKR This is obviously a different level of concern and seems to show that they're not being careful about their updates. In the 7yrs of using them, most issues have been the annoying types, not mini heart attack types For me, if there's another major type of issue, then I'm moving

  • BankTheTrade
    Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported

    Is it just me or is @IBKR TWS doing things on its own, most of which are very aggravating. Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time.

  • one_foothurdle
    One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported

    @super509219312 @IBKR It is very annoying. But in all honesty. It is the first time in a very long time that I have experienced a technical problem with @IBKR

  • Blue_1Trades
    J (@Blue_1Trades) reported

    @IBKR Why does your platform run so awful. Also, I did an ACH transfer into my account that I initiated on Friday and the funds aren't settled in my account. Also, the UI and website are so buggy. You guys need to step up your game. What's the deal? @CharlesSchwab settles my funds after 2 business days. What is the deal ?

    @IBKR and if war stops it slams back down buy gold when its a boring market you don't want to be anyone, but the first one buying it during a tempary crisis.

    I can’t close any of my futures positions at interactive Brokers.. anyone else having this issue?? Bad timing for IBKR to be broken in this crazy market! @IBKR

  • ethics3606
    Ethics (@ethics3606) reported

    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.

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon japan yield n interest rates India overvalued stocks n manipulation of running govt wrt to taxes don't favorable either stocks n index must come to down India govt thinks for their own country n people so why USA suffers Indians accumulation in dangerous for our generations

    This weekend will be dedicated to fix my IBKR desktop regular crash, watchlist not saved upon restart and TradingView connection issue. What a nightmare it has been with IBKR. I will leave when my current options positions got clear. It should be by end of the year. @IBKR I think u truly need to catch up with ur dinosaur tech deck, but I am completely fine with the fact that u don’t want to serve tech generation traders.
