    @IBKR I am a client with a key services account and am not able to get TWS to connect. I called and got put on eternal hold even though I was told this was a phone number with better support. Disappointed.

  • maximlock llvm (@maximlock) reported

    so, @IBKR, down again?

  • thebighulk2 TheBigBadHulk2 (@thebighulk2) reported

    @IBKR And you found no better solution than to suddenly force all your EU customers to accept a downgrade in account protection from 500k to a ridiculous 20k?

  • Galbus96 Galbus (@Galbus96) reported

  • HelloEarth2525 Hello World (@HelloEarth2525) reported

    @IBKR Your platform has been lagging. Tried logging in with two different laptops and still the same issue. Have to use mobile app to trade. SMDH

  • alphaarchitect Wes Gray 🇺🇸🗽🤙 (@alphaarchitect) reported

    @aaronbrask @EricBalchunas @IBKR Read the chairman's letters over the years to the sec on how to fix transparency in the brokerage biz. Easy to solve. But nobody wants to solve because they're all in on the take.

  • smartalek180 Наталья Паршина (@smartalek180) reported

    @jcalebjohnson @IBKR Srsly, they rly shld wait til just after the upcoming crash...

  • ToniYoungFun Ferry Antoni (@ToniYoungFun) reported

  • Tmimiwafi فلسفة (@Tmimiwafi) reported

    @IBKR i am facing issue and no one fix it or at least answer me.. I cant recived the security code to access to my account. 1 week no trade

  • CapitalParadox ComplexityQuantKillah (@CapitalParadox) reported

    @IBKR did your **** just go down again!!

  • CJ_Ford C.J. Ford (@CJ_Ford) reported

    @ErikSTownsend @IBKR ... $IBXX is currently not listed on the TSE's own website. Could it be a TSE issue and not an IBKR issue? 🤔

  • ilikeoptions ilikeoptions (@ilikeoptions) reported

    @ErikSTownsend @IBKR Opening another ticket, maybe if every IBKR customer would do it, they'd get it listed asap.

  • TraderRobyn Robyn (@TraderRobyn) reported

    @ErikSTownsend @ilikeoptions @IBKR IB is the worst for stuff like that. The fact that they make you pay separately for a live bid/ask is obscene. I get Level 2 being extra but live bid/ask and last should be the bare minimum you get for free.

  • JeromeH1994 Jerome (@JeromeH1994) reported

    @IBKR Please dont system down during trading hour again!

  • QuikQuak iHarsh (@QuikQuak) reported

    @WelcomeWellness @IBKR I asked IKBR a few questions on this months ago, but no reply. To them Twitter is an advertising platform, not something to help/interact with customers.

  • Armando_AML Armando (@Armando_AML) reported

    @IBKR Please, your customer service has problems, minutes, almost hours waiting in the chat, send a ticket and hours without response for an inconvenience with a withdrawal. Ticket T957094. Please your support...

  • ErikSTownsend Erik Townsend 🛢️ (@ErikSTownsend) reported

    @ilikeoptions @IBKR They've said that before and they don't know WTF they are talking about. Try MMED (Mind Med), a stock that trades ONLY on NEO. You can trade it on IBKR. IBKR calls NEO "AEQLIT" and the ******* who answered your ticket didn't know that's another name for NEO.

  • ErikSTownsend Erik Townsend 🛢️ (@ErikSTownsend) reported

    @ilikeoptions @IBKR Tell them to pull up MMED as an example of a symbol that ONLY trades on NEO. You can't see market data on IB due to a bug on their side, but you can trade it blind.

  • Ibrahim14487193 ابو عزام (@Ibrahim14487193) reported

    @IBKR I have an account with you the number is (U2939991) for 4 days couldn't get security number could by note nor by telephone the phone keep asking to push number 9 and I did but the answering machin keep asking againe please see the problem iam losing money

  • ShakopeeTony Anthony Veigel (@ShakopeeTony) reported

    @IBKR nice way to lose a future customer by not covering a transfer fee. What a stupid policy. Yeah, I would like to transfer over $500 million but I want you to cover the transfer fee. Sorry sir, it's policy we don't cover transfer fees, please take your $500 million elsewhere.

  • ErikSTownsend Erik Townsend 🛢️ (@ErikSTownsend) reported

    Still no $ABXX symbol on the @IBKR platform this morning, despite that I sent them a support ticket over a week ago telling them this was coming and stressing that several HNW IB customers want to trade the stock on opening day. @IBKR customer svc couldn't be worse if they tried

  • shingadiad ShoulderOfGiants (@shingadiad) reported

    @IBKR Your compliance teams have now blocked 3 securities from being traded. I have left numerous messages but they have failed to reply or recertify the issue. This has costs me $$. I have raised a formal complaint with the FCA and the SEC.

  • martinmarinac19 martinmarinac15 (@martinmarinac19) reported

    @IBKR You are the absolute worst broker. Cancelled every single transaction(close position) today and still my buying power remained low. Guess who is missing out on friday fun?

  • roelzns Roel (@roelzns) reported

    @IBKR Again ! Cannot reach server ! What a bad platform. How many incidents in just a couple of months ??
