  @IBKR can you please fix your systems? Gosh it's market open and not being able to login to manage our trades is costing us.

  @ravihanda @IBKR Does this mean IBKR account creations are basically frozen till they sort this out? wtf

• 
  Limpidish (@Imz_isNoGood) reported 4 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.

  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).

  @IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.

  @IBKR We are? Groceries, energy,unemployment and deficit spending are all up. GDP and world respect are down. How exactly are we "back"?

  DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported 22 minutes ago

  @IBKR today I have tried to open TWS in 3 different PCs and it stalls at the "reading layout configuration" screen. I uninstalled the latest version of the software and installed the stable version and had the exact same results. Never had this problem before. I accessed your website and there is no record of such problem currently.

  @IBKR plz fix your connection problem, the app crashed during trading time is ridiculous and unacceptable

  Hi @IBKR, I can't access Paper Trading — I get "Your account is not currently eligible for this feature." Same error when trying to contact support. How can I enable it? Ref: aixKwfOGa2zoDfGn259cdgAAADA

  @RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue

  @IBKR still utterly screwing me. If $*** tanks on earnings today I will be broken...

  @yao_yao520 @IBKR Very stupid having maintenance at this time. Maybe trying to screw ppl idk anything in 2026 is possible.

  Baron Von Garray (@BaronVonGarray) reported 37 minutes ago

  @IBKR placing surveys within the trading application that interfere, even for 5 seconds, with my ability to conduct business, is a sure fire way to royally piss off a customer. These surveys are out of control.

  BorrisBOMBA (@thecracker_23) reported 38 minutes ago

  @IBKR Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?

• 
  Charu (@charultd) reported 42 minutes ago

  @blahajcapital @IBKR Im guessing they dont have enough onshore margin posted to cover their clients positions...there are no exchange problems....its bullshit

  @AshknKW @IBKR Bro I sold a lot of things 15 minutes before the crash I would go crazy now if I didn't.

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

  Susan-Betty Love (@QuackSlayerHK) reported 49 minutes ago

  @IBKR Fix your fxxking app/platform. This is unacceptable during market hours

  @cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Only issue with IKBR is they won't accept partial ISA trsnsfers in. Has to be the full portfolio for any given year.

  @IBKR Too slow...

  Ugh, calling @IBKR for the 13th time in 10 business days to try and resolve what I believe to be a simple issue 😡

  Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported 55 minutes ago

  @SquawkStreet @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

  $ASTS shorts are not going away! Shares available on @IBKR was 2m an hour or so ago, now down to 1.28m! News of next launch needed to restore credibility and to 🔥 the Shorts!

  @IBKR Literally the worst broker imaginable. They block tickers now, they price cap anything remotely volatile, even large caps so you're stuck in a bad trade or can't enter a good one. This broker is anti-success. High fees and trading interference. Run from this broker.
