    This morning, Interactive Brokers support emailed me saying I executed a huge FX trade... Obviously, I was freaked out! So I called institutional support and they said the support agent that emailed me was incorrect. Thanks for the heart attack @IBKR!

    @Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.

    @IBKR I am writing to complain about persistent issues on your website: login is unreliable across multiple access points, and my saved settings (portfolio, watchlist) are regularly lost, forcing me to reconfigure them constantly.

    @SquawkStreet @IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972

    Obscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day

    @Sanji_vals @IBKR You can use the second 2Auth with an authenticator app from google or microsoft. Just make sure to connect them with cloud. If you loose your phone, download the app on the new one and login wirh authenticator app. Its really annoying to contact support, which is so difficult.

    @financewithjoe @IBKR Possibly on low value the Fx fees being higher Vs trade cost might not be so much of an issue.

    @CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one

    @StateInterOffic @IBKR It's totally unacceptable. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

    @IBKR Thanks but this doesn't and won't work. I don't have my account info so when I call, it rejects me. Why is there no way to fix this I have money in my account but I can't access it

    @IBKR “Trust” should be verifiable: disclose custody, execution quality, fees, margin rules, and protections by jurisdiction—not just global reach.

  • coversah

    I have never had a such a bad experience setting up a new brokage account @IBKR I fund it I choose the light plan but they give them the Pro plan that include commissions. So all my test trades pulled commissions today. I tried to enable trading for leveraged etfs they denied me won't say why, so i get to wait another 30 days to try again. Man if i had any other choice i would just withdraw the money move on but i don't.

    If 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 ?

  • mw_invests444
    MW (@mw_invests444) reported

    @Therichardralph @IBKR The interface isn't great not unlike IBKR but you seem ok with it. Decent control as you have with IBKR, selling lots, in app charts. Execution is good. Fx is currently 0.49% so that is a drawback and too high for me. There is a dumbed down app for basic use.

  • Olde_Pharte
    RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported

    @IBKR R U not even reading what I am saying?? When I call the customer support numbers you direct me to the automated response demands my account number which I cannot access RU simply an automated response as well??

  • FactPulse93508
    FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported

    @IBKR Worst broker for trading small caps on the planet. They will lock you from exiting your position whenever they feel like it and you will lose 5-10x more before the cap is lifted.

    Sidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    IBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.

    @IBKR IBKR desktop Mac version is not loading the charts from last release you did, can you fix it?
