    @IBKR I have been trying to open a professional account for a mounth now. (Charles Gave Media). I have sent absolutely every document under french law yet your compliance service, that must be outsourced, demands some more documents that do not exist under french law. You keep asking fir registre des bénéficiaires effectifs, we have given this document under lawyer signature many time now. You have the statuts, the Kbis, attestation from our lawyer, CEO signatures. After a month of going back and forth could you please, please DO SOMETHING about it?

    @coinbase is such a piece of garbage, this happens on a regular basis, especially when you try to send crypto elsewhere. Can you imagine @IBKR or @Fidelity ever being down even once? Even if they were, they have customer service numbers you can call, unlike Clownbase. F these guys.

    I thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading

    @buyerofponzi @IBKR Terrible service, perhaps the worst. I've had countless glitches and had my account locked before too.

    @buyerofponzi @IBKR I told them to go **** themselves in the email closing my account. Never going back. Their building janitor can run their ops desk better than every keyboard monkey on there combined.

    @IBKR Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?

  • EliteGainzTrade
    EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported

    @Terranatura4 @IBKR @IBKR used to have the best service, but they've been on a terrible decline over the last 2 years. I called because I was having an issue, and they told me there is no one to speak to by phone that I must file a ticket on the app. I did so, and it says it could take weeks for a response to the matter. Weeks?!

    I 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 😈

    @IBKR Be careful of stop orders duplication problems. -5% in my chase never refunded.

    @grok @IBKR This feels like vaporware. wtf?

    @IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.

  • ChaserBid
    PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reported

    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?

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

    @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

    @IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone

    @IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.

    @IBKR you need to improve your services!!! Reaction is slow today!!!!

  • kirklsp
    Kirk Hartley (@kirklsp) reported

    I'm a client of both Chase and Interactive Brokers. Does anyone at @Chase know why Requests for Payment I initiate from @IBKR do not show up for approval on Chase's website or your app? I've wasted well over 60 minutes talking to your help line and they have no clue. Thank you.

    @IBKR Your ticket response was awful. It was just a bot message that provided no assistance. I have now been subject to PDT blackout rules for seven business days. This is ridiculous.

    @IBKR Need login support ASAP

    How do people deal with @IBKR? Literally 50% of the time I click any button, the page loads for 3–5 seconds and then just… doesn’t load at all (I get some error message)!

    @IBKR You are a terrible company and my fund would currently be performing better if it was elsewere

    @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

    @renatodelarento @Trading212 @IBKR IBKR: interesting info. But 4me, I can't digest all the incoming on the investment front for myself. That's why I'm willing to pay someone (they get a cut of my investment) who is more trained than myself. My training: fight fires, b a paramedic, fix auto body's, & not worry.

    @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.

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

    @ilia_el_pro @MaxCarozza @IBKR I had the same issue. Seems like they are scrambling to fill the book.
