Garrett Smith (@gsmiznith) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR The IBKR app has what is called a memory visibility bug. I base this on their Java example code for their API and my experience with Java. I have had fills go missing regularly from their desktop app.

Stan (@0xstajus) reported@ozgsol @solana @IBKR "Based on the most recent updates from Interactive Brokers (as of early 2026), USDC deposits are currently not widely available for all international clients, including those in Serbia, as the service is initially limited to verified U.S. clients." Oh well :)
-

-
SumoMoon (@sumo_moon) reported@rogerhamilton apparently utilization has dropped from 97% back to 68% on @IBKR while so has been going down. Seems suspicious @JWesChristian
-
wilder_mine (@wilderminephoto) reported@IBKR it's a pain in the *** to get in touch with your Funds And Banking service and sessions expires kicking people out. U used to be much much better.
-
Dan (@Dan_Trend) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Yeah I've got them fixing a bug in adaptive algo, takes persistence.
-
ManateeD (@DaveInManatee) reported@mikeoniron @IBKR Worst support in the industry. Actually, I dont remember ever calling any other broker for technical issues except them.
-
Derivatives Bull (@DerivativesBull) reported@Markos_mom But let's ask @IBKR if they can do the math. Is it typical for @IBKR to make errors such as this?
-
Smok'n Vader (@BulletOneOneTwo) reported@IBKR Hey IB- why can I only buy Bitcoin via Paxos using a stupid 'minutes' order and not a normal buy stop limit?
-
alOttaBrakes (@alottabrakes) reported@IBKR Yeah the suggestion is when you have basic functions like remembering when the user adjusted something or clicked on something you fix it regardless of how they notify you about it instead of directing me to some form to file in proper channel. You are aware of the issue, fix it.
-
Zartoshi 🀄️ (@supah490) reported@IBKR fix your performance charts on the mobile app, they’ve been broken for a week now
-
alOttaBrakes (@alottabrakes) reported@IBKR you must have the dev make cookies or settings that persist across logins/devices. I don't need to see the toast notification about connections to other corps every single time I login until the rest of my life.
-
Trade With JesseW (@Jesse_W33) reported@Markos_mom @IBKR guys is it true that the PnL @ScarfaceTrades_ claims to have posted had an error that was the fault of IBKR?
-
Dean G (@DeanGereg) reported@IBKR To be specific - the web platform is crap (I cannot talk to other options) it logs you out within minutes, and customer support is non existent, and when you finally navigate and send them the issue, they never respond. The mobile phone IB is more stable, but the options prices are not real time - ypu all need to pay more for that privilege. Thank god I never sent them significant funds to invest with them 🙏🏻 Ah they flip me some stuff to read lol lol wont waste my time. Low tier brokerage. You have leas than 5% of my money and soon zero.
-
Robot (@leveragedrobot) reportedthe @IBKR IB Gateway is a hot mess to deal with. constant drop connection, constant client issues. there has got to be a better solution to setting up a trading algo
-
hanshaozi (@hanshaozi) reported@IBKR A brokerage app and your basic charts are ****** up! Yapping about crap all day, what ******** is this ****!
-
Josip Volarević 🐣 (@josipvolarevic) reported@ozgsol @solana @IBKR > To deposit YOUR money into YOUR brokerage account, you have to tell the bank WHICH stock you want to buy and at WHAT PRICE because you have to spend the full deposit amount. wtf
-
Mike Lifts (@mikeoniron) reportedOne does not simply call @IBKR for support and get an answer. The hold music is being etched into my brain…. Minute by minute. But today is the day I hold until I get an answer. Too many lost hours. Zero productivity until this is done. Sometimes you just got to make something a priority to make it happen.
-
Major Max Bitcoin (@MajorMaxBitcoin) reported@WolfBBoehme @IBKR I think their phone app is good but the regular web login page is clunky. I dont like using the fancy trader workstation of any broker
-
Jesse Davis (@JesseDavis31558) reported@IBKR Bad support experience
