-
Robert (@bobjshine) reported@IBKR Need login support ASAP
-
Ten Beers (@NBee007) reported@IBKR Yeah I checked and I’m connected to the internet…… Your quick support page doesn’t have anything related to blank screen after submitting application.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@kiantrades @discord_support Yes, Discord and @IBKR both terrible services for traders. My rant for the day. Lol
-
Katy (@Katy49889108) reported@jzrdan @IBKR You obvhourly signed up for new issue IPO alerts, receiving email notifications is standard....
-
Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@NBee007 @IBKR Disaster trying to login through the Website Portal on a Lap Top, only to be directed to the Cell APP, then back to the Portal for another type of Code, a SMS Code, a Challenge Code, then to a page on the Lap top Website to scan a code on your phone app (why when I am logging in on my laptop??), then over here, then there, then 2 hours is gone and still cannot login. Cannot submit a request for help unless you can login. Try calling? Cannot understand what the person is saying. Pathetic Platforms. Then, as Ten Beers has observed, you get a Canned Response in "X".

joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Your charts are freezing and I am in the middle of a trade. Your software is truly the worst around. Absolute garbage. Anyone not using IB that wants to consider it should runaway. Terrible custmer service and software that acts and feels like it is from the early ninties.
-
FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported@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.
-
Ramy Gerges (@ramyggerges) reported@IBKR customer support is abysmal.
-
Come Heavy (@cdnsos) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon What is going on with your Client Portal?? It has gotten so completely unusable you actually look like a scam site now. I know you're not but if I was considering onboarding right now I wouldn't dare put real money on. Like, it's truly terrible.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@belfort0609 @buyerofponzi @IBKR I'm hearing this is an increasing problem. You will be better off elsewhere .. IBKR went from a top tier broker to a bottom tier real fast as far as I'm concerned.
-
Niall B🅰️rry 🇺🇦 (@BarryNiall) reported$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!
-
ELhuron DasWiesel (@ElhuronD33244) reportedHey @IBKR ! Why is it that your stock newsfeed in the individual tickers is so bad? It shows completely irrelevant information 95% of the time. And if it's relevant judging from the headline it doesnt work half the time when you click on it. This is really annoying.
-
personal_cxk (@DzunLIvBzQrdSaH) reported@IBKR Authorization with the MCP server failed. You can check your credentials and permissions. If this persists, share this reference with support: "ofid_4cae1cb49557c937"
-
jazz (@hspnyc) reported@IBKR please help.
-
Orange is Hope (@orangeishope) reported@IBKR after updating your app. I lost all my account with my $MSTR shares in it. HELP. PLEASE.
-
Em. At. (@EmAt48652737) reported@IBKR So you guys are playing accounts liquidation, customers cannot transfer money between own accounts in order to cover margins, since transfer page is not working. I am going to fill a complain to CBI
-
STACKDOE (@STACKDOE) reported@IBKR by far one of the worst ui is ancient its 2026 ! mobile app made to make you lose money... not sure who even gave it the green light. just awful on so many levels.
-
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??
-
James Butler (@jbutlersg) reported@IBKR you guys have the worst most painful sign up process. Even just sent an email to support and even that came up showing an error. Why is it so difficult?
-
William W. Nicholas (@Alohayall_) reported@IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.
-
Olivier (@flukigero) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)
-
Odysseus | phylax.systems (@odysseas_eth) reported@cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR too bad the IBKR M&A guys are probably not on x

-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.

Frans Bakker (@FransBakker9182) reportedMy current long stocks in order of portfolio allocation %: $IREN $EOSE $NUAI $KRKNF $CIFR $OSCR $DGXX $POET I have mostly diversified because it makes me able to buy more IREN. @IBKR concentration house rules are the worst.
-
