🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@l1quid1ty @IBKR but yeh i get your point...its an exchange issue whoever that exchange may be. Clearly this isnt the case with otc stuff like fx which is obviously their issue.
-
DC (@HalifaxDC) reported@speculator20221 @chessdunk @IBKR They apparently cancelled my order, and now it's saying I'm still short 150,000 Euros, but the problem is my base currency is USD and it won't let me switch it back. On hold with them on their "emergency number" lol. I'm going to assume that they have to fix it, in the end.
-
StockSpeaking (@StockSpeaking) reported@nimesh3t @IBKR I have the same issue

joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon So frustrated with your service. It is just the worst. Good luck finding customer support. Absolutely ridiculous.
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR Happened to me too. Multiple orders got canceled. They said it was a technical issue on their end. But it it rather alarming, given that their support is hardly reachable. When situations like this happen, you need support more easily available to deal with it.

Lei- レイライト 🐧 🍀 (@nottatowl) reported@Dream_S14 @IBKR me too , and live chat is 404 error @IBKR

Perhaps we can work something out

Eight Seven (@kjeightyseven) reported@trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why don’t you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.
-
TrendTrader (@TrendTrader_US) reported@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
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@IBKR Oi *********. What is the point of providing any pnl information if you are just going to value US etfs at nonsensical fkg values during non cash equity hours. AOR for example. ******* you people are impossible to like.
