Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Sheldon Knight (@LarryLivinston) reported@MebFaber @IBKR @Vanguard_Group "customer should receive at least 50%" Off-topic but I've had similar thoughts about things like customers leaving product reviews on Amazon/Yelp, & plumbers giving free advice to DIYers on forums. Why are users not compensated for their capital contributions on these platforms?
-
Marvel (@Marvel_IM) reported@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR it needs to from here as the players trap shorts/longs on its course. We don't need to shut down brokers eliminating the free market as it will lose its volatility over time at a price closer to what is fundamentaly sound
-
Data Duck UK (@DataDuckUK) reported@IBKR @IBKR: "Closely monitoring market conditions". @federalreserve: "Yield curve control". Kuroda (Bank of Japan): "Unstable movements must be stopped." See any patterns.? Decentralise.

Elizabeth Ricardo (@EcRicardo) reportedHey @IBKR, still can't access my account and can't get a hold of anyone when I call. Can your customer service team reach out? Thanks.

TheBigBadHulk2 (@thebighulk2) reported@IBKR WHEN will SEPA WITHDRAWALS finally be available for those migrated to Ireland???? It's been a month and you customer support keeps saying "next week"!?
-
Zurbo (@zurbotron) reported@OriginalBraila @IBKR @euronext Any views on a possible US listing at some point down the road?
-
southwest hedge fund (@diaz2_jrd) reported@markingthetop @IBKR You're a genius, ever heard of revenues, profits, debt to equity. Its work 17.00 not 230. its going to crash.
-
Ash (@ash_loskor) reported@stocktalkweekly @IBKR Like/OK: order execution faster, but had trouble lately. Dislike: UI. Also it put restriction on $GME $AMC (certainly not trading them) which I didn't like. Whether it's a liquity or anything else, if a stock is offered by a broker, it should be tradable without restriction.

♛ Marcoo♛ (@marcooMK) reported@IBKR Can't log in for the full day : We're sorry, but we had to log you out and end your session. Either a problem occurred on our server or you were automatically logged out due to inactivity.

MD Investor (@ValueInvestorMD) reported@MebFaber @IBKR @Vanguard_Group IBKR restricted trades. Cash account. Well Funded. No leverage. Customer support is average, and no communication was initially provided when they decided to restrict access to the markets.

Nasser (@whereverr01) reported@IBKR I can't login to my account I got failed, please help me in this
-
Marvel (@Marvel_IM) reported@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR service issues and limiting free market purchases by retail investors. Retail investors need to understand publically the way brokers make their many streams of income including sorting investors by profitable/unprofitable. It has not come back down under 100 already due to the

Levi White (@LeviWhi06827814) reported@stocktalkweekly @IBKR Using them for over 4 months now. Mobile platform terrible. Their desktop is good but takes getting used to. I don’t use margin, I just tried them because they had a good reputation then they pulled the Robinhood shenanigans.

Waleed Hussain وليد حسين (@Waleed9009) reported@IBKR Trying to open a new account in IBKR, but not receiving activation code on mobile!!! Please support.

P-hacking Human Sensor🇭🇰 (@Lowkey08811805) reported@GGG76778806 @IBKR If they do it purposely, it means IB is retarded. Monthly USD 10 can have better quality data. I have no idea why IB find GIS. Apart from data quality, IB should also upgrade its price updating speed. Updating the latest price every 250ms is very slow.
-
bhibphunki (@bhibphunki) reported@IBKR I am so dissatisfied with IBKR, they stepped outside their role and tried to play parent and govern me and my adult choices. I really hope somebody comes up with a new unique style platform it's available in Canada that is not corruptible by terrible choices made by management.
-
Felix Lo (@sedul_lo) reported@sid__vcs @stocktalkweekly @IBKR TWS is slow and outdated and has numerous UI issues. Would you recommend DAS Trader for faster charting, day/swing trading stocks and options?
-
Mandy Ho (@mandy5230) reported@stocktalkweekly @IBKR I hate the platform... clunky. Customer service is also crap
-
SJ (@JackJ80394760) reported@stocktalkweekly @IBKR I just apply for it today. Did have to wait a whole day due to system maintenance. Will be switching from robinhood..mostly wanting the 4am PM window, Webull just not user friendly to me. Td is my main. the lowest margin/international trading ability is also appealing

Mitchell Potatoes ltd 🇬🇧🥔🍟 (@mitchellpots) reported@ArgoBlockchain @IBKR I use lloydsbankdirectinvestments , no problems to buy or sell #ARB

Dachanist (@dachanist) reported@wongraymondm @IBKR Bucket shop, and Citadel is the bucket. They will never live this down.

Ash (@ash_loskor) reported@stocktalkweekly @IBKR Like/OK: order execution faster, but had trouble lately. Dislike: UI
-
.. (@Elfaguoren) reported@stocktalkweekly @IBKR I like the low margin rates, low commission fees. Their software TWS is not too bad. But the platform is often bugging and we do experience “data connection loss” very often.
-
President of the Galactic Federation (@Bobvg7) reported@IBKR I tried going 'all in' on $gme and my account was shut down
-
Murdoch Batiste (@BatisteEnFue) reported@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR margin buying is fueling the move and margin collateral of names that can quickly go to zero is essentially worthless and triggers liquidity issues.
-
Carl MacKay (@CarlMacKay4) reported@IBKR People are actually stupid enough to get into your racket
-
Marvel (@Marvel_IM) reported@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Stocks go up and down everyday. It is the risk of the investor to decide when to trade and personally know the risks associated with each investment. GME may go to 1000+ or back to 10, but the timeframe needs to be determined by free market supply/demand. Just like SPACs now
-
Bryan Broyles (@bryanbroyles) reported@CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Bullshit. The lack of integrity in the system, that play, is where their money is. **** them and any take that doesn't point out that nothing they do produces value, only profit.

Redeye Malone (@RedeyeMalone) reported@MebFaber @IBKR @Vanguard_Group I have IBKR account, but would _not_ recommend it to anyone who has trouble with the TV remote (or their parents). ;-)
-
Energy_Matters 🥯🚨 (@EnergyMatters3) reported@MebFaber @IBKR @Vanguard_Group Agree with the spirit of the ideas here but in a structure like this shouldn’t we expect trade commissions to come back, which hurts smaller and more active traders/investors. You can shift the investor from “product” back to “customer”, but then they have to pay
