  • 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

  • BobChapin22 Robert Chapin (@BobChapin22) reported

    @IBKR WTF, why do you never update your status page when you have issues?????????????????? Platform dropped 3 minutes before the close.

  • CapitalParadox ComplexityQuantKillah (@CapitalParadox) reported

    @IBKR hire some people in cust service you incompetent ****** greedy prikk Petterffy...

  • danushman dan (@danushman) reported

    If I were a late night futures trader, I'd be pretty salty at @IBKR right about now... "Server error... will retry in 1 second". I'm just trying to watch futes dang it

  • BillHodson9 Bill Hodson (@BillHodson9) reported

    @IBKR Your system went down with 5 min to go on a Friday afternoon...

  • mamir101 M. Amir (@mamir101) reported

    @IBKR what's going on? Can't log into IBKR through desktop or iphone. Is your system down?

  • Chikibaabyyy 𝕾𝖙𝖊𝖋 🌹🌑 (@Chikibaabyyy) reported

    @IBKR Why there is so much issues to get my account approved? THIS is CRAZY and exhausting! 😣

  • ToBreakeven StopToBreakeven (@ToBreakeven) reported

    @IBKR Probably shouldn't have posted this while you were down 5mins before the close on option expiry

  • JohnNickle John Nickle (@JohnNickle) reported

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

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

    @IBKR **** your cheap piece of **** founder, the only broker that charges for "PRO" service and the worst reliability.

  • TsooJoosT Joost (@TsooJoosT) reported

    @IBKR Not up by the way... very lousy service!

  • danushman dan (@danushman) reported

    @manifestmatthew @IBKR I came from ToS... it was a good platform, I miss it... but I can't stand TD Ameritrade. Crap execution... and many people here complain about it crashing during periods of volatility. IBKR has MANY problems. I often hate them. But to me it seems like the best of the worst lol

  • Oltofino A (@Oltofino) reported

    @IBKR useless software just broke down!

  • 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.

  • ThinkFinance999 Paulo Santos (@ThinkFinance999) reported

    @IBKR Is the chat help working? Been trying for two days and never get an operator. It's a time sensitive matter...

  • 123HelloWorld_1 Stan (@123HelloWorld_1) reported

    @IBKR I closed the chat, and then what surprised me was that it showed somebody helped me already and my problem was solved. How riduculous! I tweeted you twice, no reply at all. Is this how you treat your customers??? How disgusting! (2/2)

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

    @IBKR **** your cheap piece of **** founder, the only broker that charges for "PRO" service and the worst reliability.

  • Just_someNobody DB (@Just_someNobody) reported

    @imademyday @IBKR the answer is no of course. this happened to me a month ago last time they went down, as far as im concerned they owe me 10 grand still

  • JohnNickle John Nickle (@JohnNickle) reported

    @Tony_BATtista @IBKR but I did manage to put an order in above what I thought it should be and then they showed a bid/ask and got filled. This happened last time vol spiked last week and i wanted to get out but hung on. Thanks for your help though

  • Kenaschmidt Ken (@Kenaschmidt) reported

    Oh that's nice, @IBKR servers drop out 10 minutes before close on Friday. Can't connect at all. Trash service.

  • Kenaschmidt Ken (@Kenaschmidt) reported

    @IBKR Your servers are down. Completely. No trading, TWS or mobile. "Professional's gateway to the markets"

  • Wutangprophet1 Wutangprophet (@Wutangprophet1) reported
