-
DarthKenobi (@plantbasedlc) reported@IBKR @IBKR I already contacted them - and they already contacted IBKR - the issue is IBKR won’t expose automation API service to them so they can integrate. Can you submit product request?
-
BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported@IBKR I have... they claimed they are waiting on finra regulatory notice but that is incorrect. That notice was issued 4/20/26 showing effective date 6/4/26. Other brokers are moving quick on this and your web ticket reps are uninformed. Many are waiting on this information. Pls help

JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@speculator20221 @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.
-
Thryxie (@Thryxie_) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR I had issues with delays aswell. Took about a week for funds to arrive
-
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.
-
Arno (@arnoblits) reported@CharlesSchwab @IBKR I have gone through your standard support channels before, and the result is always a deflection of accountability back onto my local hardware. The issue is not my machine's optimization; it is the fundamental architectural bottleneck of your legacy Java-based platform.
-
SOBR (@SOBRBC) reported@IBKR_Europe Fix your desktop software installer for linux please @IBKR
-
Jason Appel (@JasonAppel10) reported@IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR

Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@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
-
0xW 🍌 (@0xWwwwwwww) reported@stoneymonster @TradingThomas3 Cause IBKR is ****. They know their data is wrong (for the past 15+ years), and they don't give a damn. @IBKR
-
Philoinvestor (@philoinvestor) reportedIs @IBKR Flex Query web service down?
-
Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported@IBKR you have terrible cutomer service. If someone is denied a product and can't reapply for 30 days then how and when exactly are people supposed to get a chance to submit additional information for consideration? Your reps on the phone are so frustratingly stupid.
-
Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reportedDear Interactive Brokers, I’m an Indian investor facing issues with funding my account. Support is not responding properly. Please help urgently. @IBKR

Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@IBKR @bclund Login to IBK - nothing but problems when using Portal for the Lap Top. Requires ID, Password, then an SMS Code (which always worked_ but now takes you to a page that requires scanning a QR Code on your phone using the phone APP. Nothing but HELL. Missed trades, timed put while trying to update information, and on and on. Tried talking to HELP but could not even understand the individual claiming to speak English (no offence to the person). If you cannot communicate, then what is the purpose of HELP? So now logging in through PORTAL requires both the lap top and a cell phone APP to use the lap top. RE: Response from IBCS at 24-Jul-2025 Dear Mr. ______, This is a follow up to our conversation from earlier today. Your request has been approved and your account can continue to use SMS text as the two factor authentication method. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Kind regards, Michael M IBKR Client Services ****The result was it never worked, still doesn't, and have to use TWO pieces of hardware and two different software. Once I get to sell out of the shares I have through IBK I am gone!!

Eight Seven (@kjeightyseven) reported@trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why don’t you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.
-
Ganwin (@Ganwin2) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR It works well for me, sometimes has some bugs, kinda annoying but the others are worst
-
Ethics (@ethics3606) reportedI 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.

Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reported@IBKR “Hi, I tried everything but still can’t deposit funds. No proper guidance. Please help with steps.”
-
James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported@IBKR what maintenance??? App not accessible!!!
-
CT🪐 (@gercekci_V) reported@joemccann @IBKR @ibkr has a horrible user-interface, i decided to stop using it and pay premium extra cost elsewhere where user interface is much more friendly. call me stupid but I have seen zero improvement by ibkr in the last 7 years - they do not even try
-
BlackjackGod (@blackjack_god) reported@IBKR 24 hour access sounds like edge until you price 3 things: carry, margin calls, and overnight gaps. More table hours only help if your read survives the next open.
-
Kirk Hartley (@kirklsp) reportedI'm a client of both Chase and Interactive Brokers. Does anyone at @Chase know why Requests for Payment I initiate from @IBKR do not show up for approval on Chase's website or your app? I've wasted well over 60 minutes talking to your help line and they have no clue. Thank you.

Billhelm (@Whoandwhere47) reported@IBKR Is this the same IBKR whose clients constantly complain about them on Reddit lol?
-
Cotednq (@Dougcotefx) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Deleting tweets after a photo shop error is definitely not a red flag at all. Totally definitely legit.
-
Momo (@Momorenph) reportedGot cucked by IBKR for having limited margin??? The position would have cost 5% of my remaining maintenance margin??? Plz fix @IBKR I wanna lose money

Stan (@xbc9stazj) reportedAfter around 1 year of investing I transferred all my positions from @DEGIRO to @IBKR for risk exposure I had gone from 81.5K€ to 160K€ but the inflation prints and the overall bearishness cycle slowly landed me around ~113K€ Around that time I decided to load up on $RKLB warrants because I loved the company so much (yes, there were $RKLB warrants at some point) These contracts - I didn’t know it at the time - had pretty simple but specific rules : If the stock traded higher than $10 for an extended period of time (~2 weeks I think) the company could redeem them, no matter what the current price was. And man did they redeem them The stock was trading at $8 when they did so, offering us the option to buy the stock at the warrant strike price, $11.5, making them basically worthless on a cash basis I got demolished. I freaked out so bad I didn’t where to hide, for the first time as a market participant, I wanted to cry When I discovered there was a cashless exercice option that gave ~0.3 share per warrant, I was actually relieved. But the damage to my portfolio was severe regardless, basically a 70% wipeout on that massive position I didn’t know it at the time but that event was the trigger for a highway to 14K€ When I said in my quoted tweet that it’s going to be hard, this is what I’m referring to
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR That’s comforting. Thank you. I was not able to place the trades again when cancellation happened. Support was not reachable. Later I got email saying it was a technical issue on their end.
-
SumoMoon (@sumo_moon) reported@mclaughli46343 @rogerhamilton @IBKR Sure looks like PR is coming. And now Clayton is being exposed by sec that Rico case should be juicy. And Moe and Ritz getting taken down across multiple lawsuits.

Anssi Alkio (@Anssi_A) reported@simpelspekulant @IBKR Well, Nordea is the "quality" dividend name. Probably of the top banks companies in the world. Not cheap. UPM is interesting for their "hidden" energy holdings. Anora if you believe booze demand will rebound. Saga Furs for deep value play. Many names paying about 4-5%.
