    Everyday I resent @IBKR's desktop app team using Java for the UI. It's great for them and terrible for all users. From the login to maximizing the app to the slowest column reorder in the world, it all sucks.

    @Akshat_World @IBKR please confirm whether there as an error from your side.

    @IBKR there is no way you are the #1 rated trading platform. When a client with $1 mm in liquid cash & 20+ years trading experience, and a credit rating of 800+ does not have approval to buy $IBIT you have a problem.

    Why does my daily p&l get messed up the moment Tel Aviv market closes @IBKR ? Please fix things on the backend.

    @IBKR Hello @ibkr ... I have a new phone and a new phone number. It has been impossible to speak to anyone due to the lack of IB key and I have tried live chat, email, phonecall, and feedback report, but nothing works. How do I get in touch with someone regarding this. Please help!!!!

    @IBKR Your customer service is lacking compared to Fidelity and Scwab. Why do you restrict IRAs from trading $BNO, $CPER, $MPLX … when the other two don’t? Your customer ssrvice never follows thru to resolve these issues despite promising to do so. #noaccountability

    @IBKR You have a substandard platform and your support staff is basicslly nonexistent. I would advise people to stay away from IB. If you run into a situation and need help you will not get it.

    @IBKR Why is TWS doing the following all of a sudden? Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time. Aggravating as hell.

  • dr_otker
    Dr.Ötker 99%FI 💸 (@dr_otker) reported

    Last night @IBKR systems glitched AGAIN and cancelled all my outstanding orders, 17 in total. I just spent more than half an hour resubmitting them thanks to a poor user interface and slow servers. This has happened before a few times and I believe will happen again. So could @IBKR at least offer a way to easily restore the cancelled orders?

    @OddDiligence yes you should have had a bulletin alerting you to that. And yes the clowns at @ibkr said they'd fix it, didn't, and then said resolved.

    @IBKR how ******** to do I know login into my account? I used to get a text message... now everything is ******! I want to place a sell order and I CAN'T ACCESS MY ACCOUNT! WHAT SORT OF TRADING BUSINESS ARE YOU RUNNING! #FFS

    @IBKR Thx for your reply, but this was a week ago. 😬 This was a first technical issue in a long time, so no hard feeling, but would have liked a much swifter response in the app,this took several hours and that is just too long.

    @IBKR You really need to get your charting in order. Delays , freezing, referencing problems.

    @IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR

    @senzu_capital @JosephW31117119 @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.

    If anyone happens to be having problems with the API on @IBKR after last night's TWS update to 10.43, go to file, change version, and stable and that fixes it IBKR is working on a fix but this is their short term solution

    @dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Whop is the worst platform ever, they truly don't care about the customers at all, they are all about the commissions they get from the course sellers.
