  @IBKR @Darwinexchange ????? Both of you are telling me to contact the other. This is a service provided directly through your company with each other. Can someone please assist me ?

  PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reported 16 minutes ago

  Trying to sort an @IBKR account with stables for 2 days, and it's just an all-round ****** experience. Still waiting for stablecoin approval, interface is horrible, bad UI. Been waiting 5 minutes for the deposit button to render. Do non-crypto folk just accept this as fine?

  @kiantrades @discord_support Yes, Discord and @IBKR both terrible services for traders. My rant for the day. Lol

  @cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR bro just made tens of millions of $$$ to become a customer service rep goated

  @IBKR you have terrible cutomer service. If someone is denied a product and can't reapply for 30 days then how and when exactly are people supposed to get a chance to submit additional information for consideration? Your reps on the phone are so frustratingly stupid.

  @IBKR I am ok with a slow server if you guys find a way for people to invest directly from pakistan without having to use @wise or some other roundabout method

  @IBKR why it’s impossible to get help from IBkr It tries to keep taking me to The FAQ questions Brother if I really wanted that I would used some AI to know

  @IBKR Authorization with the MCP server failed. You can check your credentials and permissions. If this persists, share this reference with support: "ofid_4cae1cb49557c937"

  Hey @IBKR how can you be so good at executions and soooooo bad at pretty much everything else?

• 
  joe (@Yogithebearish) reported 32 minutes ago

  @IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.

  @IBKR what a painful experience is to use Interactive Brokers. Avoid it at all means. The server doesnt work or it is very slow way to often.

  Andrea (@Andrea79983493) reported 35 minutes ago

  @IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!

  Haddie (@Haddie168) reported 35 minutes ago

  @IBKR @bull_jared39128 Hey IBKR, since you are responding on X now, how about addressing the issue I raised last Monday. Your 10.45.1 forced update broke the TWS RTD. No one from customer service will respond to my support ticket, no one responds to Facebook comment and no one responds to X

  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 38 minutes ago

  I have to switch brokers @IBKR has some serious issues with their app. It's like 10x slower than any other brokerage to navigate to trade. Then stop limits don't even work on stocks with a penny spread it's bizarre

  @buyerofponzi @IBKR They grew too fast and their support has always been the weakest link

• 
  Kastriot (@kastriooot8) reported 42 minutes ago

  @MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!

  @aleabitoreddit @IBKR fix this

  @IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.

  Hi @IBKR, I can't access Paper Trading — I get "Your account is not currently eligible for this feature." Same error when trying to contact support. How can I enable it? Ref: aixKwfOGa2zoDfGn259cdgAAADA

  @mclaughli46343 @rogerhamilton @IBKR Sure looks like PR is coming. And now Clayton is being exposed by sec that Rico case should be juicy. And Moe and Ritz getting taken down across multiple lawsuits.

  @stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least

  Dear @IBKR I don't give a **** about the SpaceX IPO, please, stop the spam, how many times do I have to delete the notifications????

  @IBKR It is truly the worst. A total pos.

  @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.

  BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported 1 hour ago

  @IBKR Followed up with web ticket several times. Slow response and unable to to say when ibkr will announce info pertaining to pdt rule change. Disappointing as all other major brokers have announced and majority are ready day 1 on June 4th. Will be looking at others options if no news

  Samuel (@sam_smms) reported 1 hour ago

  Hello @IBKR Can you explain what caused that issue? That problem is still where I made a deposit usdc today, but the amount is hold for a day

  S Sanzhi Kobzhanov (@Sanji_vals) reported 1 hour ago

  @IBKR amazing trade terminal and fundamentals explorer! loving IB TWS, but if you lose you phone, the only way to restore your access to your account is to call them via phone and verify. no other options. customer support chat is only available for someone who logged in but you can't do that if your phone is stolen. they could have verified clients via google meet or Skype, but no, you have to call directly.
