🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIf a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@IBKR No I'm moving to another brokerage. It's 2026 I'm not submitting web tickets when I'm trading $100k positions. You guys can pick up a phone like every other normal brokerage. Take some tips from Schwab and you guys need better customer service, app UX and really everything.

Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@IBKR fix your ******* app!!!! My lord it's absolute dog ****. Sell lots out my shares LIFO and your system then does FIFO when it's clearly marked correct. Then on the backend in change tax lots it shows correctly. Yet today nor the next day will I get credit in my SMA or NL

-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedGood grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!
-
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?
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@IBKR is down during trading hours. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and unable to log in to their account?
-

-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your software is such a pos. It is not sending the notification to my phone for me to login. I cannot access my account. I tried logging in with the QR code and it shows page not found. I need access to my account. You are just the software in the market. Total garbage

-
yd (@kyingda) reported@IBKR what are you going to do about my account that still has money inside but able to sign in or reset, stupid thing is, I need to sign in to submit a ticket. Phone support not useful, they say unable to find my account. I have screenshots of me transferring money in the account
-
PSaif (@PedSaif) reported@optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)

The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic
-
Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported@IBKR 2/2, bc that needs SMS too. So I can't login, write a help ticket, fund my account bc of wrong SMS ( that's strange, bc I have updated my profile regularly. Try phoning, they say. Get a live agent. After a really long hold time I did get an agent but he could not 3/3
