  • ConorSandin Conor Sandin (@ConorSandin) reported

    @sanglucci @IBKR YES I was thinking this all morning. They almost certainly aren't liable for any potential damage as a result of the outage but if we can make a big enough show they will lose a lot of business

  • deja_bull Deja Bull (@deja_bull) reported

    @zerofiltertruth @IBKR I am in Canada and #IBKR is STILL #DOWN. I can log in to see portfolio, but still cannot login to Trade or see Market Data. #COMPLETELY USELESS.

  • SmallsBebe Bebe Smalls (@SmallsBebe) reported

    @IBKR Excuse me, Update? Its still not working and I have open positions which I might want to adjust/hedge, Hello?

  • joeyhussle_ Yuppy Don 🏁 (@joeyhussle_) reported

    @zerofiltertruth @IBKR you confuse IB with yer sister you dont lose your rep for one outage, else no one would have a rep

  • AlMhros خالد صالح ابن حبيب (@AlMhros) reported

  • KuznecovRob Роб Кузнецов (@KuznecovRob) reported

    @IBKR Why not a clean setup of last good working stable backups? You must have tons of analyse-software for working on such kind of issues in trading free time.

  • Afghanrebel afghanrebel (@Afghanrebel) reported

    @IBKR how come i cant access trader work station, is the canadian side still not working or something specific to mine? i tried to restart few times, no luck

  • BathurstThinkt1 bathurstthinkt1 (@BathurstThinkt1) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR I still can't login

  • Kirth_Gersen_1 Kirth_Gersen (@Kirth_Gersen_1) reported

    @Josh_R_Cook @IBKR Nope. 4M and also can't login.

  • buzz339 BUZZ (@buzz339) reported

    Have to say @IBKR has been the most reliable system over the last 20 years that I have used. Never down except for a few very short outages. Hopefully this is a one-time problem they can avoid in future with this lesson.

  • deja_bull Deja Bull (@deja_bull) reported

    @unilateralquest @IBKR The "Mostly recovered" message has been displayed for the last few hours. But as you said #IBKR has an interesting definition of "Mostly". This is getting ridiculous... I thought TD Ameritrade was bad... this is another level.

  • Karl_Regan Karl Regan (@Karl_Regan) reported

    @IBKR 4 HOURS LATER CANT DO **** WTF !

  • AreteTrading Arete Trading 💵 Profits Charts Process (@AreteTrading) reported

    @BlogJulianKomar @IBKR @CapTrader I have different platforms. I learned this lesson years ago when I primed at SLK and it went down. The lack of communication is awful .

  • LSKMSun James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported

    @IBKR WTF regulates these junk firms? Is it FTC? I am surprised that they walked away without being punished

  • buzz339 BUZZ (@buzz339) reported

    Well @IBKR is completely down again. No access.

  • LSKMSun James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported

    @IBKR Why would you have to log in twice to trade? Plus the app looks so awful.

  • billyu1228 Yu Wia Piu (@billyu1228) reported

    @IBKR still cannot login to trade.....

  • unilateralquest connaisseur of soufflé stonks (@unilateralquest) reported

    @IBKR What on earth is happening at #IBKR. I can't believe the outage is still not resolved! How long has it been?? 6 hours?

  • GulagInmate375 John Doe (@GulagInmate375) reported

    @IBKR Still not working 😒

  • pbyoung1 paul young (@pbyoung1) reported

    @IBKR Surely You can’t be calling this a few residual issues, most clients and most services restored No one seems to be able to get back online

  • LSKMSun James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported

    @IBKR This the most stupid trading platform ever! Everything looks lousy - their app is lousy. No wonder only their platform is down today. Lousy IT team!
