  • TradingArsenal1 Trading Arsenal (@TradingArsenal1) reported

    @IBKR Wondering why cash options accounts can't buy directional single-leg weekly calls/puts during the last hour or so on 0D2E? Why do I get a "Post Margin Deficit" order rejection? The worst that can happen to me is I lose my $ if premiums go to zero. TOS doesn't do this...

  • share721 Sherrie (@share721) reported

    @palikaras @IBKR Thanks for screwing over the people that supported pre reverse merger...can't wait to dump this pos company. Don't believe the hype people...I did & now im bag holding at an average cost of $15 & no damn dividends yet

  • generatorzxy *** bull (@generatorzxy) reported

    @IBKR Hi, is there an example to try ibkr api service?

  • Steve71538937 Steve (@Steve71538937) reported

    $LLKKF ive just spoken to @IBKR and a lady has told me that its them that have it restricted both ways to buy and sell as $LLKkF is. Classed as a micro stock. But i did ask why Is llkkf restricted to sell and she didnt have that information.. This is not @Trading212 issues.

  • bill_baruch Bill Blue Line (@bill_baruch) reported

    @cashEquivalents @NickGiva @IBKR This is untrue. If you have the volume, I have the rate / technology to save you cash. With real institutional customer service.

  • European_DGI European Dividend Growth Investor 🇪🇺 (@European_DGI) reported

    @StMunderah @BinckBank @IBKR Indeed, their "user friendliness" is definitely the worst compared to other brokers i'm using. Though, the rest compensates it to have some of my portfolio there.

  • ialhusseini Ibrahim (@ialhusseini) reported

    @IBKR My family has an account with you and when asked to wire back some funds, you "lost" them ($250,000). Customer service hasn't helped and it's been 55 days. Now what?

  • holyhotmonkey star (@holyhotmonkey) reported

    dude i need to get out of $COIN 244 next rally. maybe pre e/r ramp. don't want to get caught when $SPX corrects bjgly. $AMC 37 SMH. lol only reason i didn't s/s bc @IBKR has crazy *** margin req. on all meme stocks to short. in hindsight, it broke down like PLUG at highs

  • Nomad1721 Nomad1721 (@Nomad1721) reported

    @IBKR their mobile app has the worst user interface I have ever seen

  • unsettledSky martian statistican (@unsettledSky) reported

    @frotuss @IBKR @Fidelity also bans buying weeklies call option expiring on Friday. Not sure if it’s hedging gamma, delta or saving call sold by its trading desk or protecting market maker. Look at $tsla on Fridas, good/bad news gets swallowed for option premium. Bdw, I don’t trade options.

  • TheOriginalJAB John Bailey (@TheOriginalJAB) reported

    @IBKR Twitter doesn't like it when I tell advertisers who cram commercials into my feed what I REALLY think of them ... So now I will just tell you that I will NEVER buy any product or utilize any service from any company that pumps garbage into my Twitter feed

  • isellpremium I Sell Premium 🍒🇨🇦 (@isellpremium) reported

    When will @thetastyworks be available for us in Canada? @Tony_BATtista i really can't deal with @IBKR's platform anymore or with their customer service.

  • housing_human Housing Is A Human Right (@housing_human) reported

    @averygrrl @IBKR I did ... The columns show up. There is no data in all columns on a consistent basis. For example, I am long bull spread ($3500 to $3700 $AMZN call options). There is no data in the purchase cost basis column. So I do not know if I am up or down on my spread and by how much.

  • Horse85953210 Horse (@Horse85953210) reported

    @tradingfitgirl @IBKR Thanks for the tip. Looks like Schwab needs $25kUSD to open for aussies, not too bad, but ibkr usually more popular here with lower requirements.

  • shortstartrader remster (@shortstartrader) reported

    @IBKR You guys are terrible for shorting.

  • ErnestasKardzys Ernestas Kardzys 🇱🇹 🇬🇧 (@ErnestasKardzys) reported

    @IBKR Just logged in into the IBKR Portal and get error "We could not connect to the trading/market data system. Reason: Invalid_username_or_password Error code =1". What could be the reason?

  • DedunuCapital Dedunu Capital (@DedunuCapital) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR I have applied for an account. It's been 2 months still in pending state. Sent all the documents. Nothing has been progressed regarding pending tasks. All the calls to the support has been fruitless. Can you please help?

  • kmsant1952 Ken (@kmsant1952) reported

    @IBKR Do us all a favor, shut down the oil and build an electric infrastructure.

  • poochie_ab Puyan 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇮🇷 (@poochie_ab) reported

    My @IBKR is out! 😑 No connection to the server! Where are you server? Is Monday hard on you?

  • CuongTruong777 Cuong Truong (@CuongTruong777) reported

    @stewdean The engineers can modify the water turbine machines and turn them into portable perpetual machines. When that company goes IPO, I would become a customer to purchase the perpetual machine and purchase shares through my online stockbroker @IBKR

  • averygrrl avery💝s data📝charts📈& finance💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @housing_human @IBKR Wild... I only have stock positions in my IBKR account, or I'd put a trade on to test for you. I would contact their support team, if they exist... Took me months to get them to refund an erroneous deposit, almost voided my yearly contribution by going over-limit with them.

  • Gem_Investing 💎 (@Gem_Investing) reported

    @IBKR Hi when i send a code to my number to get onto my account it doesn’t send me a code it just stays in read only mode. It was working yesterday now today its not? Can u help

  • NickGiva Nick Givanovic (@NickGiva) reported

    Decided to move away from @IBKR. Their help desk is just atrocious. They keep you hanging on the phone for hours and resolve nothing. Useless. Enough! Recommendations for good futures and options platforms/brokers?

  • origamicyber origamicyber (@origamicyber) reported

    @SophistUnpaid @IBKR I use Schwab and IBKR. Schwab for the convenience and customer service and IBKR for the low margin rates.

  • NickGiva Nick Givanovic (@NickGiva) reported

    @CapitalParadox @IBKR No service = no account.

    @IBKR what is happening with your Australian operations? Support has really gone downhill...can't even get an automated email acknowledgement

  • tradingfitgirl Aly Angel (@tradingfitgirl) reported

    @Horse85953210 @IBKR that sucks. I am in the U.S. so there was no minimum. @reggiekhada help fam out here... what broker are you using for OTC's
