    @IBKR Compared to holding cryptocurrency, I prefer the stability of mining, which is similar to bank deposits, so there is no risk. The income from mining is several times that of the bank. Depositing money in the bank will only bring us a small amount of interest. The bank interest is

    @IBKR Kindly Send a direct message to resolve all issues on your wallet immediately

  • TradingArsenal1 Trading Arsenal (@TradingArsenal1) reported

    @IBKR Can you guys fix some of the MAJOR problems I have? If I have $1k or $20k in my account, why can't I trade zero day to expiration contracts during the second half of the day? What's the worst that can happen if I buy 1-5 AMZN calls and let them go to zero? I'm talking directional

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    Anyone else having problems with futures data on @IBKR tonight? I've been having issues with everyone, and I'm paying for all these separate feeds. About to cancel all my professional data subscriptions because half of them don't work. When one doesn't work, they're ALL useless.

  • MrBigPicture Jason Roller (@MrBigPicture) reported

    @IBKR If you want the best in WORST IN CLASS trading software, go with $IBKR - their CEO cares more about CNBC ads than the platform integrity / it’s 100% useless with their newest version of TWS.

  • MrBigPicture Jason Roller (@MrBigPicture) reported

    @IBKR So I can learn to use a platform that is useless? To clarify - your new version of TWS is absolute trash and DOES NOT WORK / freezes constantly / has cost me 10s of thousands of dollars in losses. Fix the software…

    @E28Learning @IBKR So sorry about that,I have had similar issues like that before,but HintCrack on Instagram helped me out,he’s a genius

  • TradingArsenal1 Trading Arsenal (@TradingArsenal1) reported

    @IBKR ThinkOrSwim let's me use my last $1 to play contracts same day expiration... Also, The platform is good, but it's slow. PLEASE update AND fix this problem with the 0D2E contracts. I'm using cash account, why can't I spend my money how I want it, even into the last hrs of day?

  • harperwc craig harper (@harperwc) reported

    @IBKR how long is this "scheduled maintenance going to last ?

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @BharathQuant @IBKR I like their stability, but that stability comes with an awful lot of rigidity. Right now my account is technically still IBKR Lite but signed up for volume-based pricing, and now I cannot trade, and they don't know why. (I know why! I'm signed up for volume-tiered commissions!)

  • Daquan19224611 Linsey (@Daquan19224611) reported

    @IBKR I good day. I created an account at IB and i want to continue uploading the files that you requested me and now it figures: "your account has been deleted". Please help me, nobody answers my emails.

    @fly4dat @IBKR I had the same problem, it I believe a European regulation thing. I just shorted BEAM PD NMTLA CGEN TSP

    @IBKR Why don't you support the Arabic language for me to reproach you?

  • QuantifiedStrat Quantified Strategies (@QuantifiedStrat) reported

    For the sixth time this year @ibkr asked me to upload my ID and address. Insane EU AML rules and poorly managed support is a bad mix....

  • zkdiri dr.krm (@zkdiri) reported

    @IBKR Why I can not reach someone from your support team. They are not working properly and not helpful!!!!!

  • GoGreenTrader1 GoGreenTrader (@GoGreenTrader1) reported

    @IBKR First of all remove your trade restrictions for the many OTC tickers which are even pink current. What good is the SEC rule that helps to filter and narrow down OTC tickers if you going to filter more after the SEC deadline!

  • Summer_OTC Summer (@Summer_OTC) reported

    @CymroTrader @IBKR Don't know. I had the same problem with PVRS.

  • MortWeaz Veaz (@MortWeaz) reported

    It's great when @IBKR randomly close out one of your profitable trades, rather than one causing a momentary margin issue?? Cheers. Not.

  • Branche37 Branche37 (@Branche37) reported

    @IBKR How long are you going to fix endless chart issues with bits of string? When do you plan to redesign all this disastrous charts system?

  • E28Learning Learning_e28 (@E28Learning) reported

    @IBKR 9 months ago or so, I send my documents for the aperture of a account and I send 2,000 USD to fund the account because you told me it would help to open de account faster, now you told me the process was refused but you didn't refund me the money. How can I solve this problem?

  • JeanFra31783724 Jean François (@JeanFra31783724) reported

    @IBKR Hi interactive broker. Ok i have a problem with you. I made a wire transfer since 20 days and no news of it. But, the real problem is : there is no way to contact you. From my home, all you "24 / 24 - 7/7 " tel number can't be join (one in the USA goes to a fire-department)...

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @leerawrs @IBKR they stil haven't activated Pro, I think customer support disabled it after my call (after telling me to cancel it, and me saying I didn't want to)... but yeah good margin rates, stock loan, and interest on idle cash is nice i guess, partial shares and foreign markets etc

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @BharathQuant @IBKR Yeah, this guy from Bharat or wherever is trying to help me, I feel bad for him, I want to scream 'YOU'RE COSTING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A MINUTE!' but he has no clue what's up

  • ZombiLiving AcornHoarder (@ZombiLiving) reported

    @IBKR Fix your damn ancient deposit system and maybe more people would use your services! Use #IOTA or #hathor or fee free crypto if you have to!

  • tradeharder otto (@tradeharder) reported

    @averygrrl @IBKR “Prof” subs are just a small revenue stream for zero cost. **** em! Dodge that and life is good. The real Danger of retail is when vol spikes and there is no way to trade it. They’re all “down” Major part of my strat is to never get burned in those 30min craziness where $ made

  • CymroTrader Cymro Trader (@CymroTrader) reported

    @Summer_OTC @IBKR It’s fine for me. Input error somewhere?

  • customwww CustomCoder (@customwww) reported

    @IBKR I don't need it now with Biden's new 87k IRS agents.. I'm sure they will let us all know where the problems are..
