KHoloud (@KH_SHx) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your broker Too slow !!

Strategic Degen (@StrategicDegen) reportedI lost about $5k yesterday due to liquidation. I tried moving $5k to @IBKR, but it failed despite having cash in my checking account. I don’t blame anyone; this is part of the game. Losing $5k after locking in $65k gains last month is insignificant. I always ensure I have enough buying power and SMA. My mistake was opening a large $HIVE.NE short put that eroded most of my buying power as collateral. Even though it will only use half of that collateral for margin maintenance, it used full cost as requirement until assignment. Was it risky? Maybe I was set to lock in $5k from that play yesterday if the price didn’t drop. The lesson is to avoid selling short puts that erode buying power. Buying shares is better on margin. Next week, I’ll have more buying power to buy back $EOSE, average down on $HIVE, and buy $KEEL (hopefully below $5 when Asia gets crushed Sunday and overnight due to leverage). I optimized my tax lot for $EOSE to ensure as part of that liquidation, it took out shares that had gains instead of FiFO or LILO. This way I work around wash sale if I buy back shares within the next 30 days. DONT FRET, sill on track to $1M this year. I’m buying next week 😈

Pat_par (@parth_995) reported@IBKR my money is stuck in your complex account opening process where your team denied to move indian account to international so please help me withdraw money ASAP
-
Mr Sinatra (@MrSinatra_MDW) reported@grok @IBKR Truthifi has very limited hardcaps and other problems and doesn’t do much.
-
Adaxelo (@RoiSinge) reported@IBKR And what about the removal of PDT rules ? All brokers are removing it tomorrow. You are the worst broker ever, I am closing my account
-
赛博游牧武士道 (@wenchengwude) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction
-
Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reportedAfter @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).
-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?
-
Ashrith Govind (@ashrithgovind) reported@defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!
-
froyomofo (@froyomofo1) reported@IBKR I put a ticket in FOUR DAYS AGO and still nothing back. Why ******** should I keep using a platform where I can’t get an answer to a question in a reasonable amount of time?!
-
jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported@alexkingsays @AskRobinhood Rey. Same experience. I eventually moved everything to @IBKR and haven’t looked back. Brokerage for adults, and actual customer support when you need it.
-
Rod Farva (@large_farva34) reported@IBKR Absolutely worst customer service experience of any company I have ever worked with by far. I hate you guys.
-
Outlier Capital (@outlierrcapital) reported@IBKR still utterly screwing me. If $*** tanks on earnings today I will be broken...
-
jazz (@hspnyc) reported@IBKR please help.

Another oil and gas tourist (@oilgastourist) reportedDear @IBKR I don't give a **** about the SpaceX IPO, please, stop the spam, how many times do I have to delete the notifications????
-
Camila💚 (@Camiescobar_19) reported@IBKR lol this hits different when you're already down 40% on some random altcoin, ibkr dashboard just feels too clean compared to watching charts on your phone at 3am
-
The Miladorlorian (@DiChiarissimo) reported@IBKR Do not ever use this ******* dogshit platform, not only will you not be able to trade anything, they lock your funds no matter the amount because obviously they got in trouble in thr past for money laudering because they are fat fuxking italian peices of ****, **** these people
-
John Martin (@jminvesting) reportedI really want to use @IBKR and twice now I've tried to fund and set up an account. Their insistence on you having your phone nearby to check their mobile app for some code every 10 minutes has caused me to give up each time. Awful experience and poor security design.

joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@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.

miracle-dan (@yunyuntian) reported@IBKR IBKR, I am a refugee and I want to support you, but you use address verification to shut me out.

Al Sher (@b1ackops) reported@IBKR your desktop app doesn’t work! Fix it FFS!

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

TiltFolio (@TiltFolio) reported@JoachimMo1985 @IBKR I'm not sure about issues at IBKR specifically, but having worked for a few brokers, I can tell you that the tech department usually comes third or fourth in priority. These organizations are typically led by marketing, followed by corporate roles (risk management, strategy).
