Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
I Laroui, CMT (@musingtrader) reportedI've been on hold forever with @IBKR to complain about a real bad fill. The classical music is a nice touch (Mozart piano concertos) but that's about it. My customer's experience is an unmitigated disaster. I have to hang up here at the 1 hour 2 minute mark!!!
-
Roope Rekola (@RoopeRekola) reported@Gekko_TheGreat @IBKR Experiencing the same problems, this has been happening way too often lately...
-
ilikeoptions (@ilikeoptions) reported@IBKR sold off ITM options due to POTENTIAL lack of liquidity if assigned, DESPITE the fact the trade was a spread and the other leg simply could have been exercised to offset any assignment of the short leg. WTF!?! That WASTED 50% of the profit on the trade. That's just STUPID!
-
Chris Ming Ryan (@chrismingryan) reported@IBKR I got through after 40 mins on hold. I've corrected the issue.
-
The Duty of Foresight (Jeff De Cagna) (@dutyofforesight) reported.@IBKR now in my 25th minute on hold waiting to speak with a "customer service" representative. Of course, I use the term loosely.
-
Rick Williams (@rickjaydub) reported@RonFriedmanSF @KarlvKtrading @IBKR definitely a pattern here - support been lacking across almost all platforms of late - cuz all the new retail calling in asking ??s!
-
The Drew Investor (@TheEmulator23) reported@Ned892 @IBKR Fidelity Mate. Have Tried almost all, ETFC, AMTD, & the Worst of all Robinhood. Fidelity is the best & willing to Work w/you. Hope that helps. Nothing more frustrating.
-
Who Knows (@WhoKnow51212436) reported@IBKR Hello. Do you have the plan to offer the so called "PEA" in France? This is really something expected for French customer as it is associated with fiscal benefit. The requirements to manage this specific type of account is not complicated Thanks.
-

-
CryptoBoaby (@BoabyCrypto) reported@kingpim @IBKR On e i can eventually log in to my account I will transfer all from this broker, over 10 tickets made for customer support, not one answered. No one answers the phone and hundreds if bot thousands locked out and unable to trade, we need answers!!!
-
David (@crayonmystic) reportedWhen your @ibkr 2FA code doesn't turn up, so you request a new one and it arrives immediately, and you can't tell whether its the original missing one (that'll now fail the login and require username/password again) or the good one

NedsTrades (@Ned892) reported@BogdanMaverick @IBKR Money frozen after trades. Days for it to be returned into the account. Pricing for stock was absolutely miles away from actual markets.
