    @lethbridgeRob @IBKR Totally agree. I was transitioned to IBKR from another broker and IBKR service has been complete ****. I'm having heart palpitations right now b/c I just went to the site end of the day and my holdings and cash have disappeared. Nothing there. Are you seeing same thing for yours?

  • BobChapin22 Robert Chapin (@BobChapin22) reported

  • woodman267 woodman (@woodman267) reported

    @JohnNickle @IBKR So much for late day trades I planned to make as set up for Monday. WTF? IB is total ****. I'm having heart palpitations b/c I went to the site end of the day and my holdings and cash have disappeared. I'm praying this is typical IBKR shitfulness.

  • 0DTE_Trader 0DTE Trader (@0DTE_Trader) reported

    @IBKR **** you your TWS is lost connection right now

  • toddhorst TastyTracker.com (@toddhorst) reported

    @stephenonelson @IBKR Im not familiar with IBKR and would consult with their support. Seems suspect that you cant take a $30 hit, no difference than if you accepted $30 less when you initially opened .... -- you did cancel your 50% closing order right

  • ivaylot Ivaylo Todorov (@ivaylot) reported

    @IBKR **** YOU with your maintenance ****!!!

  • JohnNickle John Nickle (@JohnNickle) reported

    @Tony_BATtista @IBKR went down 10 mins before a Friday close. Still not back up

  • Kenaschmidt Ken (@Kenaschmidt) reported

    @IBKR Maybe move one of your 5 customer service reps over to the IT department and start fixing things. Charts wouldn't load half the week. Servers dropping out 10 minutes before the weekend. Act like a legitimate brokerage.
