    @solana @calilyliu Tokenized. Cool. @IBKR has it too - regulated, insured, no seed phrase (to loose). Liquidity on Nasdaq ≈ no problem

    @IBKR You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you

    @TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Llc with liquidity problems nothing to be ashamed of. What factor rate are you looking for?

    @buyerofponzi @IBKR They grew too fast and their support has always been the weakest link

    @IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone

    @renatodelarento @Trading212 @IBKR IBKR: interesting info. But 4me, I can't digest all the incoming on the investment front for myself. That's why I'm willing to pay someone (they get a cut of my investment) who is more trained than myself. My training: fight fires, b a paramedic, fix auto body's, & not worry.

    Hi @IBKR, I can't access Paper Trading — I get "Your account is not currently eligible for this feature." Same error when trying to contact support. How can I enable it? Ref: aixKwfOGa2zoDfGn259cdgAAADA

    There are hundreds of incredibly annoxing things about @IBKR TWS but the worst is that you always have to add implied vols to option chains and watchlists because they dont save. Anyone found a way round this ? 🙏

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR It takes me less than 1-minute to login to E*TRADE no matter the platform.

    @IBKR what is wrong with your website? I set up my account for withdrawals and have sufficient funds. So WHY does the confirmation keep throwing an error? And why is there NOBODY to speak to?

    @IBKR Your account opening procedure is pathetic.. No customer support and no clear communication why a particular document is rejected My brother is trying to open the account from Saudi for last 2 months and always there is some document is pending

    @IBKR you are not answering phone calls login is imposible! No chat available with real answers . I need a live person for my boss

    @IBKR Using the inquiry on yourwebsite with my username/account name gives me an error as well, so really there is no means getting to you guys. Kind of disgraceful isn't it? @IBKR

    Hey @IBKR ! Why is it that your stock newsfeed in the individual tickers is so bad? It shows completely irrelevant information 95% of the time. And if it's relevant judging from the headline it doesnt work half the time when you click on it. This is really annoying.

    @IBKR after updating your app. I lost all my account with my $MSTR shares in it. HELP. PLEASE.

  • cashflow_king94
    Cashflow King (@cashflow_king94) reported

    Just over a year since I switched to @IBKR and went all in on growth stocks... Portfolio is ahead of the S&P 500 by $23,273. That's 11.72% outperformance. Ahead of the NASDAQ 100 by $9,283. 4.37% outperformance. Beating both major indices with 9 stocks and a system. A year ago people told me I was mad... Too concentrated, too risky - Should just buy an index fund and forget about it. Well the index fund would have made me $23k less. That's a car, That's a holiday, That's months of deposits into the portfolio. I'm doing it with fewer stocks, less complexity, Less stress. Quality companies the world can't function without... I'm not Against Index funds but most people think single stocks are risky.... Mixture of both would work well for majority of people in my opinion. Sometimes the "risky" approach is actually the smart one. How's your portfolio doing??

    @IBKR Followed up with web ticket several times. Slow response and unable to to say when ibkr will announce info pertaining to pdt rule change. Disappointing as all other major brokers have announced and majority are ready day 1 on June 4th. Will be looking at others options if no news

    @IBKR Hello, I am trying to enable Options Trading Level 2 on my IBKR account in order to trade simple long calls and long puts on SPY. However, my request was rejected with the message saying that my financial profile does not meet the eligibility requirements. I would like to understand specifically what is causing the rejection and what exact requirements I need to update or meet in order to qualify for Options Level 2 trading permissions. Could you please review my account and advise me on the necessary steps to resolve this issue? Thank you.

    @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.

    1/ Samsung Securities just became the first korean broker to launch an online omnibus account service if you have an @IBKR account, you can now buy korean stocks without opening a korean account

    @MartyZimme90457 @IBKR @chinoalemano That's normal, because all the apps are showing the old numbers. The future is defined by stocks like $DGXX. I have no idea who this person is. But I can hardly imagine anyone being stupid enough to short this stock. Good luck to you!

    I deposited 5k into @IBKR to test out my trading bot being they have API available.. I have already withdrew the money back out for two reasons. One, the gateway portal seems to have been created in 1998. Awful UI. Second, and the most pertinent was the death by auth codes.
