Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • j0nathan63 Jonathan L. (@j0nathan63) reported

    @xdrylandx @IBKR was not aware of that. Thanks for the tip. But even regardless of these restrictions (which judging from the backlash, should be removed soon) the customer support at RH sucks. And their trade execution speeds are not good. And it's become clear they're not getting any better

  • BeckPictures BeckPictures (@BeckPictures) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR That is a fair call. They probably cannot cover and God help you if you are left holding this bag.

  • 3dgamecraft Games in Space (@3dgamecraft) reported

    @IBKR Done with Interactive Brokers. You are part of the problem.

  • krisgunnars Kris Gunnars (@krisgunnars) reported

    I've been very disappointed with @IBKR throughout the whole GameStop $GME situation and their communications regarding the trading restrictions. Plus, their platform is really slow with poor user experiencce. What's a good broker that is available for Europeans?

  • ALBACapMgmt ALBA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇦🇺 (@ALBACapMgmt) reported

    Massive oppo to set up a rival to RH with a promise to not be a c**t, all the kidz will flock to it. I really hope it happens and I hope they take down @IBKR with them. #RobinHood

  • _ms_izzy Izzy (@_ms_izzy) reported

    @tpsojda @IBKR @miakhalifa I guess Lebanese girls are just winning all around so I support that 👊🏼

  • Rob_S_Montesano Robert S. Montesano (@Rob_S_Montesano) reported

    @IBKR @mcuban If @IBKR has 9 billion in capital, what exactly is the motivation to restrict trading other than to manipulate prices to levels they need them to be at? Prices go where the market takes them -up or down - apparently some are more equal than others.

  • alx_Salinas Alex Salinas de Gortari ❁ (@alx_Salinas) reported

    @IBKR **** you pig.! BREAK THEM.!

  • AbrahamAbeAA Abe (@AbrahamAbeAA) reported

    @IBKR If it is regulatory issue then how come webull is allowing?

  • mzabriskie 😸 matt zabriskie 🤖 (@mzabriskie) reported

    @cody_baird @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Nope, IBKR blocked buying. **** em.

  • Kisiel1717 Mike Kisiel (@Kisiel1717) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It’s total crap. Many people lost ridiculous amounts of money because of Robinhoods actions. I hope that company shuts down. #Greed #manipulation

  • official_brumby CHRIS BRUMBY (@official_brumby) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Liquidity issue, CEO of Robinhood just blamed it on regulations (kinda true) but you could tell they did not have the capital to put up the money to cover deposit required.

  • PortlandTrader Portland Trader (@PortlandTrader) reported

    @Bernat_Huguet @IBKR Well I buy a call it goes to zero I’m OK. Now you’re saying you can’t pay me now that my call is worth something because you sold 1M contracts against 66M float. Sorry that’s your problem not mine.

  • yhawaiikai Yaaaaaaaaaa (@yhawaiikai) reported

    @RomeTimed @MutinyMongo @IBKR I hear you. This is when the quality of the broker and their clearing firm matters. Also people need to brush up on their SIPC coverage :) brokerage firms fail due to bad risk management when handling their clients transactions.

  • Bernat_Huguet Bernat Huguet (@Bernat_Huguet) reported

    @bog_darius @unatalantafan @IBKR Yes, it is. I'm not arguing that, I'm imply pointing out that people jump at the collusion with hedge fund option when there's a clear self interest incentive for IBKR to shut down this situation

  • PotheadSupreme SupremePothead (@PotheadSupreme) reported

    @Bernat_Huguet @IBKR He admits to manipulation on live TV, and blames us for manipulating?? How can he know how we value these stocks? If I want to spend 2000 bucks on one GME share it should be up to me to be stupid

  • al_sandarusi Kim Sandarusi (@al_sandarusi) reported

    @IBKR This is not acceptable. IF securities broker/dealers felt they would get into trouble with continued trading, they should have gotten the exchanges to suspend trading, not an asymmetrical suspension affecting only your customers, whilst other players are able to cover their butt

  • Northeast603 Northeast (@Northeast603) reported

    @PortlandTrader @Bernat_Huguet @IBKR itll be ur problem too if he cant pay & u go to bankruptcy court: good luck being ahead in line of all the OTHER creditors. sure, it's manipulative BUT a brokerage has every right to say protect itself against being overwhelmed by a once-in-a-decade market swing like this

  • M_iikun Muteki iikun (@M_iikun) reported

    @Rob_S_Montesano @IBKR @mcuban Exactly this. If there is no cash-flow problem then their twitter account just outed their CEO as an out and out manipulator. Oops!

  • mjmiglio Michael (@mjmiglio) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Either way they should be shut down by the FTC.

  • JamesTaylorHaub Taylor (@JamesTaylorHaub) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Tell me anything but "we did it to protect you from volatility". That's not your damn job, that's on me if I want to blow my money. BUT DO NOT INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE BY TELLING ME YOU STOPPED TRADING TO PROTECT ME!!!

  • stksnstff stksnstff (@stksnstff) reported

    @IBKR I joined IB because it was a professional brokerage, despite the warning that customers service was below average. Today they place account holders at the same amateur level as RH traders.I believed @IBKR was better. Today they proved me wrong.

  • ClementeTequila Clemente Tequila (@ClementeTequila) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Hard to believe you are posting on this.... This whole thing is about manipulation of the markets by the rich and powerful. You really shouldn’t speak on it, Mark, for obvious reasons. Already told Leon to **** off today...I like you Man, but please back away from this one.

  • komple_x KompleX (@komple_x) reported

    @IBKR Ummmm. **** you.

  • scottgrogn scottgrogn (@scottgrogn) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They are exposed because they/their(dealer)made a market and need to be able to cover it. So they have to purchase the shares at crazy high prices. Could leave them holding the bag. So they shut down. Calls lose value. Price drops. They cover cheaper.

  • TheTampaTrader 《Tampa☆Trader》 (@TheTampaTrader) reported

    @_ms_izzy @IBKR I heard @IBKR shut down thousands of accounts today. That's not so "interactive"!

  • Jonatha94098472 Jonathan Schultz (@Jonatha94098472) reported

    @talesftf @bluenylon2 @IBKR I think these firms know that GME is a POS and they don't want their clients buying it in the hundreds when it could drop back down to the teens in a day. It went from over 500 premarket to as low as 112 today.

  • jezzymay GluedtoTV (@jezzymay) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It all just looks one-sided on shutting it down. The unpredictableness is part of the stock game, but when "winners" always win, and someone beats them at their game for once! ? Are we suppose to feel bad? Hell no!

  • adriandean1977 Adrian Wooldridge (@adriandean1977) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Seems to be a liquidity issue.

  • Robert__Botkin Robert Botkin (@Robert__Botkin) reported

    @IBKR @mcuban Shouldn’t you have collateral for these margin calls with institutional clients on the short options. The issue is that the short sellers were over leveraged and now you want to protect the “important clients”
