  • squawk_hawk Adrian (@squawk_hawk) reported

    @NonoLondres @thinkorswim @IBKR Have no clue yet. Said it will be up to 48 hours. The balances are always off and having errors. I like ninjatrader for software but as a broker I don’t use them.

  • NotAManipulator NotAMarketManipulator (@NotAManipulator) reported

    @YahooFinance @IBKR @SteveSosnick The problem is the fundamentals are there. The shorts never closed. Melvin Capital said they closed..look at them now. In 2008 there were so many synthetic CDOs being created the initial transaction looked like a little insect. You would be crazy think that’s not happening now

  • pavla21578571 pavla (@pavla21578571) reported

    @IBKR i know which broker does not provide any lowest interest rates....don't live on debt...sure bet I'll buy a dumpling and sell it like a cake, .... that's a good service, but a bad master ... interest, that would make one pos.....l

  • Umeshchandraaa Umesh (@Umeshchandraaa) reported

    @IBKR I haven't been able to login to my account. App hangs. Web portal directs to phone app for verification that doesn't work. Can't figure out how to take help. Not the most pleasant of experiences. Can you help?

  • ActuallyFinance BradFin (@ActuallyFinance) reported

    There are a lot of @IBKR annoyances, but I think the top one is that I can't easily check when I bought a stock. Seems like it should be an easy fix.

  • StableBubble CryptoFiat (@StableBubble) reported

    @ibkr wtf is wrong with your app and portal?

  • kevinsmithlevy Kevin Smith-Levy (@kevinsmithlevy) reported

    @IBKR hi team. You make it virtually impossible to create an ISA on your platform when I have an account already. Can someone help me please I would like to transfer two ISAs over to you. Why is it so hard to create an ISA!?

  • GaiusMoonnus GaiusMoonnusSecundus 🩳🏴‍☠️💀 (@GaiusMoonnus) reported

    I am expecting 1 Million $GME #GME shares to magically be available to borrow for #stockmarket Fuckery, from @IBKR , before the end of the day. Shorts will then borrow these around market end bringing the price down by around 10%, irrelevant of the actual earning results!

  • ScruffMcGruff69 Scruff McGruff - The BS sniffing ape.® (@ScruffMcGruff69) reported

    @IBKR Never forget when Thomas shut down trading. He should be in prison.

  • Bart05275751 Bart🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Bart05275751) reported

    @IBKR Yeah I went through all the necessary doco to setup an account. Verified my login and password. Then waited for the email the next day confirming. So, I went to log in, with the same credentials & no dice. If your onboarding is this ****, then its best not to go any further.

    The friends over at @IBKR are not letting me trade Leveraged ETPs but I can trade options, and monthly commodities futures that would make me liable to receive payment of said commodity(I think?) damn idiots let me make money.

  • vivekrjain Vivek Jain (@vivekrjain) reported

    I am not able to buy FNGO (ETF). I get error "Not allowed to open a position: contract subject to 871 (m)". Any idea why this may be? @IBKR

  • francisthomas francisthomas (@francisthomas) reported

    So @IBKR pro came out worst on commissions in @USC study? WTH?

  • igal_n Igal (@igal_n) reported

    @indexstudent @IBKR No, $ILUS was changed to Pink Limited early today due to an error of OTCM, but was quickly corrected and they’re Pink Current again. As for $QIND, I suggest you contact IBKR. Whatever flag was on it was removed, and it’s an OTCQB company — no reason they should restrict buying!
