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!!!!
-
Cotednq (@Dougcotefx) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Deleting tweets after a photo shop error is definitely not a red flag at all. Totally definitely legit.
-
Jinuuku (@Jinuuku121844) reported@IBKR To clarify: the application has been stuck since March 23 due to a known wizard bug on IBKR's end. March 25 was when Live Chat confirmed the issue and promised same-day resolution, which never happened.
-
Arno (@arnoblits) reported@CharlesSchwab @IBKR Today during the extreme volume spikes, the Java client completely locked up, preventing me from broadcasting closing orders to the exchange via AT. I’d appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.

Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reported@IBKR “Hi, I tried everything but still can’t deposit funds. No proper guidance. Please help with steps.”
-
Mark Bratt 🔻🔻🔻 (@MarkBratt924939) reported@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I don’t, but if I were a ****** capitalist I would own physical goods such as property, precious metal, guns, non taxable physical coin collection. Paper is coming to an end and US Tbonds are going down to CIPS and destruction of the petrodollar.

Adi (@adi_baradwaj) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has surprisingly good API support for a boomer product
-
BatCAt (@BatcatCA) reported@IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.

Shandukani (@Shandukani2210) reported@IBKR Hey I've lost my phone and I've changed my number,I can't even login to my account and I got running trades/positions
-
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me
-
DC (@HalifaxDC) reported@speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR They apparently cancelled my order, and now it's saying I'm still short 150,000 Euros, but the problem is my base currency is USD and it won't let me switch it back. On hold with them on their "emergency number" lol. I'm going to assume that they have to fix it, in the end.
-
Markets & Mayhem (@Mayhem4Markets) reportedI'm going to vote that they add @IBKR support to @edgeful. 🦾 What other brokers would you want to see support for? 👇
-
@levelsio (@levelsio) reported@scotttmorton @IBKR @louistheroux Oh got it Typical bad editing work by MSM journos
-
Binay Jha (Chartered Accountant) (@binaycjha) reported@JacobMcGrew6 @IBKR Yes. It was a system issues which they are trying to resolve. But you need to call them and they need to reset all the accounts to make it work. After that you need to logout and login again.
-
J (@Blue_1Trades) reported@IBKR Why does your platform run so awful. Also, I did an ACH transfer into my account that I initiated on Friday and the funds aren't settled in my account. Also, the UI and website are so buggy. You guys need to step up your game. What's the deal? @CharlesSchwab settles my funds after 2 business days. What is the deal ?
-
Leo GNK (@GnkLeo17852) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Hello, I am having trouble accessing my Interactive Brokers account. I recently deleted the authenticator from my Microsoft Authenticator app, and now I cannot log in because I no longer have access to the security code. Could you please help me recover my account and reset my

Priom.eth (@0xPriom) reported@joemccann @IBKR You are doing god’s work! Ibkr probably has one of the worst apis
-
xp Ehsaan (@XP_Ehsaan) reported@joemccann @IBKR Does it support 1 min candles ?
-
Maria Mednikova (@MednikovaM64181) reportedTried to use @IBKR app to buy some QQQ and it was such a bad experience. This is my first time investing so it was overwhelmingly complicated. I put in an application at @public but haven't heard anything back. Their app looks so much easier!
-
One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported@super509219312 @IBKR It is very annoying. But in all honesty. It is the first time in a very long time that I have experienced a technical problem with @IBKR
-
Ruimtepak 🔮 (@_Ruimtepak) reported@EclipticaOS @IBKR Hot damn it only gets more magical
-
Ganwin (@Ganwin2) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR It works well for me, sometimes has some bugs, kinda annoying but the others are worst
-
Colt45.eth (@wilson_eth) reported@TheTechInvest @IBKR The buyer of these is far more likely just playing the pop on the depressed option. Not bad news by any means but probably similar to the $700 tsla calls that keep coming through heavy.
-
Anssi Alkio (@Anssi_A) reported@simpelspekulant @IBKR Well, Nordea is the "quality" dividend name. Probably of the top banks companies in the world. Not cheap. UPM is interesting for their "hidden" energy holdings. Anora if you believe booze demand will rebound. Saga Furs for deep value play. Many names paying about 4-5%.
-
Jamie Fortie (@FortieJami77198) reported@IBKR hey yo, settled DRS transfer not received after 10 business days, ticket system unresponsive. Phone call got hung up, all tickets are AI, no customer service. Like WTF, guys stay a mile from this broker if you can
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
