Rod J Davis 🇺🇸 (@rjd_mkts) reported@IBKR @thomaspeterffy For the life of me I dont know whats going on over at @IBKR but for a trader to not have the ability to do any spreads, iron condors or anything resembling a spread for over 3 months due to technical issues is a MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE!!!!

Acmesafeco (@acmesafeco) reported@IBKR Warning to anyone considering switching to IBKR will allow you to deposit funds but be aware new accounts will not get approved for trading with no explanation. Here's the best part...you cant even send the funds back to your existing broker so just watch the market while they hold your money. No explanation, no customer support, just tough ****.

Manny (@theverysmartone) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Whop is the worst platform ever, they truly don't care about the customers at all, they are all about the commissions they get from the course sellers.

Brian Lund (@bclund) reportedAfter being a customer for 20+ years at @IBKR, I’m seriously considering changing brokers. Earlier this week, I got a margin call notice, which made no sense because my account is fully funded. Turns out it was tied to an old secondary account I created years ago to sweep in some non-marketable securities — you know, those dregs we’ve all held onto that technically went to zero but still somehow show up in the account. (Don’t lie, you’ve done it too.) Anyway, this account has sat idle for years, and for some reason it incurred a $12 charge, which pushed the zero-balance account into a margin call. I’ve tried contacting @IBKR numerous times about this, but if you know anything about IB, customer service is not the reason you use them. I even wired funds into the account to clear it. They show they received it, but I can’t find any record of it being credited, and I suspect it may have been applied to the wrong account. There was a time when it made sense to use Interactive Brokers because they had aggressive commissions and access to hard-to-trade issues. But nowadays, that advantage is mostly gone. I’m seriously wondering why I would stay with them when such a minuscule issue has turned into such a major pain in the ***.

EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@Terranatura4 @IBKR @IBKR used to have the best service, but they've been on a terrible decline over the last 2 years. I called because I was having an issue, and they told me there is no one to speak to by phone that I must file a ticket on the app. I did so, and it says it could take weeks for a response to the matter. Weeks?!
-
DMVentures (@D_M_Ventures) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR I never had a problem with mine. It is a segregated account, so you can only wire to your own account. If you don’t include your username it takes longer to show on the platform tho

Cashflow King (@cashflow_king94) reportedJust over a year since I switched to @IBKR and went all in on growth stocks... Portfolio is ahead of the S&P 500 by $23,273. That's 11.72% outperformance. Ahead of the NASDAQ 100 by $9,283. 4.37% outperformance. Beating both major indices with 9 stocks and a system. A year ago people told me I was mad... Too concentrated, too risky - Should just buy an index fund and forget about it. Well the index fund would have made me $23k less. That's a car, That's a holiday, That's months of deposits into the portfolio. I'm doing it with fewer stocks, less complexity, Less stress. Quality companies the world can't function without... I'm not Against Index funds but most people think single stocks are risky.... Mixture of both would work well for majority of people in my opinion. Sometimes the "risky" approach is actually the smart one. How's your portfolio doing??
