Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ValKatayev Val Katayev (@ValKatayev) reported

    @moonsh0t__ @IBKR This is debt and it’s not financial advise. You’ll be responsible if you take too much margin, the stock goes down too much, and they do a margin call. Be responsible. I only use margin for short term needs.

  • michalnytra Michalnytra (@michalnytra) reported

    Hello @IBKR, do you have some shutdown for login? I am not able to login to my account.

  • GoForGrubes2 Commodities MacGruber (@GoForGrubes2) reported

    @Hoarsewhisper99 @IBKR Fortunately, they backed off these requirements last week. I believe maintenance is down to 55%, which is acceptable. Alot of big name fund managers saw this and likely made their distaste known.

  • sami5050505 عليشو 🕴🏻crypto 🚀💰🚀 (@sami5050505) reported

    @IBKR I have problems with the account when you do not respond to customers in private or via email

  • IJW28940356 IJW (@IJW28940356) reported

    A friend has an issue where IBKR wants to know origin of wealth and has blocked trading. He has provided proof but they are not accepting it. His income is 100% legit, no shady stuff going on. Not responding to his tickets now. @IBKR your customer service could be better

    @Gabe_Trader_ES Think or Swim is really solid. But whatever you do don't use interactive brokers. They are douche bags @IBKR (**** you)

  • Stelios_Athens Stelios (@Stelios_Athens) reported

    @IBKR @puppyeh1 Hi there! Are you experiencing any technical issues because I can not log into my account?

  • jaredthetrader Buythedip (@jaredthetrader) reported

    @IBKR What about fixing your quote bug? Future tickers are frozen for hours in a daily basis. May be time to switch, this bug has been around for years?!

  • BobKurlander Bob Kurlander (@BobKurlander) reported

    @Rayner_Teo @IBKR Are you logged in somewhere else ? I just had that problem today and when I logged out of the other location I could get into the main portal.

  • funkedfeatured Ed (@funkedfeatured) reported

    @IBKR something wrong with your mobile app? Keeps saying connection lost when trying to login

  • grtrocketrider GRT Rocket Rider (@grtrocketrider) reported

    just found out my interactive brokers account @IBKR liquidated several thousands of my shares over 16c of margin which I didn't even know I had as i never trade on margin! unbelievable!!! and no customer service agents available to help me

  • zdpettry Zack Pettry (@zdpettry) reported

    @IBKR I think there are some connection issues currently happening. I can't get any data within Trader Workstation. Been on the line with customer service for quite a while....I can't access data within the app as well.

  • youyuxi Evan You (@youyuxi) reported

    Just today I’ve had my Google TV suddenly refuse to connect to Wi-Fi, my car Bluetooth suddenly refuse to connect to my phone, and @IBKR’s app completely broken due to API errors.

    @IBKR where's in the hot Florida Sun wearing camo paint waiting for the crowds to die down you know just sort of waiting out the crowds and the gunshots the airstrikes

  • gourdo_bruno Bruno Gourdo (@gourdo_bruno) reported

    @IBKR I’ve been an accountant for 35 years, & your reports are the worst I have ever seen. They are crammed with useless information, no transaction statement, just gibberish. They look like they were designed by a 3 year old. I won’t let a client near you!

  • Sanji_vals Sanzhi Kobzhan (@Sanji_vals) reported

    @IBKR, why is my TWS extremely slow on Mac book Air M1? I allocated the largest portion of MAC memory resources to run the terminal, but still, it takes 10-15 seconds for MAC to react after I press the buttons. @AppleSupport works fine on mobile.

  • JamesFarrell6 James Farrell (@JamesFarrell6) reported

    @IBKR is your system down cant log into the web platform.

  • anontrader11 anon_trader (@anontrader11) reported

    @IBKR Is there any issues with the log in portal as of now? I am having trouble loggin in!

  • RaskulnikovR Ralfo Raskulnikov (@RaskulnikovR) reported

    @IBKR Why is your crypto trading down right now?

  • Goldonomic Goldonomic-Independent Researcher (@Goldonomic) reported

    @IBKR NOT margins and commissions help you to make money in these Casino-Stock Markets!! Most forget there is a CATCH.

  • TakeDownTheNRA Michael Fairbairn (@TakeDownTheNRA) reported

    @IBKR This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. It took me several hours over several days JUST TO CHANGE MY PHONE NUMBER. They kept sending 2 factor verification codes to my old number. Then, even when I finally changed it, I still couldn't withdraw my money.

  • LoungeSki Ski_Lounge (@LoungeSki) reported

    @IBKR Three weeks and still no resolution. I cannot access any of (1) account management (2) tax documents (3) online portal trading (4) funds withdrawal (5) trade reporting. Tech support has been unhelpful. This is terrible service. #IBKR #TWS

    @LoungeSki @IBKR Mostly you talking to bots @IBKR. I don't mean the IBot, but support chat. Tickets also.

  • LoungeSki Ski_Lounge (@LoungeSki) reported

    @IBKR I've been locked out of my Account Management for over two weeks. I've had no luck with Tech Support. I have called daily; I am constantly told "it's being looked at". I'm afraid this is not working out. What does one need to do to get access to their account?? #IBKR #TWS

  • Rayner_Teo Rayner Teo (@Rayner_Teo) reported

    [10 DAYS] Hey Interactive brokers @IBKR, I can't access my client portal. Tried changing browser, VPN, clearing cache, mobile, etc. Nothing works. I've raised this issue 10 days ago via email and phone call. But still no updates. Help?

  • Ludwig12th Ludwig (@Ludwig12th) reported

    @IBKR good morning. I'm attempting to retrieve my account login information but I have a new phone number and the retrieve login information page that sends the code keeps crashing. Can you help me out? Thanks!

  • r2_rabbit R2Rabbit (@r2_rabbit) reported

    Has anyone else had a terrible customer service experience with @IBKR? They offered a 33% refund on a trade that was 3 months ago that was entirely their platforms fault. I asked a follow up question and they pulled the 33%. Is this how they operate? @Ducky_Trades @ShinobiSignals
