Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

  Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported 7 minutes ago

  Just got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.

  @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

  How do people deal with @IBKR? Literally 50% of the time I click any button, the page loads for 3–5 seconds and then just… doesn’t load at all (I get some error message)!

  @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic

  @IBKR run one of the best trading platforms in the world and one of the more embarrassing support desks attached to it. Almost 10 days of silence on a routine ISA request, after a cheerful "we'll revert soon." The bar is on the floor.

  @IBKR I want to use my own models running on my own hardware. Please provide an MCP server or something other models can connect to

  @IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.

  @Cernovich and if you're going to borrow against your securites, use the right broker. @IBKR has *half* the rates of some higher profile brokerages and most equites require only 25% margin maintenance. Same equity on ETRADE or the like is 50% or even 100%.

  @stan100x @IBKR Why do you think a different brokerage will help with this? Anyway try out tastytrade, they have lower fees at least

• 
  Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported 25 minutes ago

  I have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC

  INTER (@Night34Blue) reported 26 minutes ago

  @IBKR Hello, I have already completed all requested tasks, uploaded documents, updated my financial profile, completed MiFIR and tax information, and funded my account. However, I am still unable to receive the trading permissions I requested, and I keep receiving only automated responses without a clear explanation or solution. I respectfully ask for a proper manual review of my account by a specialist and clear guidance on exactly what needs to be changed or updated for approval. I have spent a significant amount of time trying to resolve this issue, and if this cannot be resolved properly, I may consider withdrawing my funds and using another broker platform instead. Please review my account carefully and assist me with a real solution. Thank you.

  @IBKR The last broker to remove PDT restrictions. This number will go down

• 
  PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reported 32 minutes ago

  Trying to sort an @IBKR account with stables for 2 days, and it's just an all-round ****** experience. Still waiting for stablecoin approval, interface is horrible, bad UI. Been waiting 5 minutes for the deposit button to render. Do non-crypto folk just accept this as fine?

  @IBKR The worst ever cause ibkr never care about the needs of users. When everyone is requiring the removal of pdt, ibkr is holding action and deliberately preventing investors to be more flexible.

  @TT_stocks_ @D3GSolutions @IBKR Schwab isnt bad. but they dont really let the digital penny stocks too much.

  James Butler (@jbutlersg) reported 34 minutes ago

  @IBKR you guys have the worst most painful sign up process. Even just sent an email to support and even that came up showing an error. Why is it so difficult?

•

  Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported 44 minutes ago

  @vijucat @IBKR Absolute garbage platform. (Service too.) I've given up. Use all 3rd party tools. Data, metrics, reporting. Even the API is meh. @IBKR is a awful. Actively looking for alternatives. I simply cannot believe their stock price. If investors knew how ****** they are...my god.

  @IBKR Really need to work on the UI and also if the website is going to be so complicated you need to make accessing live support much less difficult

•

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Change your God damn pdt rules. What makes you so slow in such a simple action!!! ？？？ A bunch of stupid IT do you really need so long?

• 
  TiltFolio (@TiltFolio) reported 51 minutes ago

  @JoachimMo1985 @IBKR I'm not sure about issues at IBKR specifically, but having worked for a few brokers, I can tell you that the tech department usually comes third or fourth in priority. These organizations are typically led by marketing, followed by corporate roles (risk management, strategy).

  @IBKR Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?

• 
  Carlos Dos Santos (@_charles289) reported 56 minutes ago

  Has anyone else had issues with Trading Permissions for US penny stocks on @IBKR? Their customer support isn't the best either... way too slow.
