  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @battousai1130 @IBKR No other broker has API access, low margins, free wire transfers, or access to all the products I trade, I'm using them for a reason, but this is too much with all the errors/disconnects They used to honor my deposits instantly, dunno what happened, but I use Vanguard/TD mostly

  • dtradehunter Dtradehunter (@dtradehunter) reported

    @whirlybard @IBKR Using the mobile app. Connected VPN to LA server and works well.

  • sinnet3000 Luis Colunga (@sinnet3000) reported

    @averygrrl @IBKR Are you running it on a Mac or Windows? There's a weird issue in Mac OS Monterey and only fixed in a beta version.

  • Hupa21 MadCuzBad (@Hupa21) reported

    @IBKR weird but i just noticed my avg price on a stock changed like by 5 dollars WTF who do I call even my trades history shows at what price i entered the trade 😡

  • DavidWJavid1 David W Javid (@DavidWJavid1) reported

    @IBKR NO TRANSPARENCY GIVES A BAD IMPRESSION TO THE EMPLOYERS, "WE THE PEOPLE" (JUST CAUSE THE DEVIL MADE YOU DO IT, DIDNT MEAN YOU GOT NO KARMA), FREEWILL TO DECIEVE THE MASSES, WITH SNAKE OIL, & *******, HOW INGENIOUS, IT GOT THEM A COUNTRY & CONTROL

  • Plunk20 Mike Plunkett (@Plunk20) reported

    @IBKR has been wonderful to work with untill today. The rep I worked with was unable to assist with a 3rd party wire. It ended with him saying IBKR cannot handle my needs and I can look for other brokers who may be able to. @IBKR can u help? @CharlesSchwab maybe we can we talk?

  • uFck_Enrtopy left coast eddy (@uFck_Enrtopy) reported

    @JimJones1913 @IBKR A huge scam, period. Although it's hazardous to make predictions, it seems highly likely that the whole thing will come crashing down in the foreseeable future.

  • Financejunk1 financejunk (@Financejunk1) reported

    @IBKR ONLY USING YOUR PLATFORM AS I HAVE NO CHOICE. WILL EXIT AS SOON AS I GET SOMETHING ELSE. **** SERVICE

  • chiba11kaneko Colin C. (@chiba11kaneko) reported

    @BrokersTiger Bad company, avoid trading on their platform. better use @IBKR better CS, better trading options.

  • 60seconds16 60seconds (@60seconds16) reported

    @IBKR DO NOT USE THEM. Zero customer service Trader workstation CRASHES all the time (on a Mac) Just plain useless. Time to move to another platform

  • CosmicShiva221 CosmicShiva22 (@CosmicShiva221) reported

    @IBKR seriously what happened to your customer service within a few years, near impossible to reach someone, 10 to 15 mn wait. Then you ask one question and 10 more mn wait transfered to someone else...........

  • JoneTan_2020 Aurora Borealis (@JoneTan_2020) reported

    @madaznfootballr Good job, congratulations! With my broker it is impossible to find stocks to short because after a run the next day they purposely don't let their customers. @IBKR Interactive Broker u are totally customer unfriendly and a scumbag company. 💩🤮 $ISIG

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    Scared to use "take profit". Lots to love w/ IBKR, but the rest is AWFWUL. I've lost LOADS of $$ from connectivity/data failures, misleading design, lag/errors, faulty UI/UX, mis-quoting the NBBO, server outages, ACH unpredictability. So many bust-worthy orders. Fck U @IBKR

  • morrissmith506 Paul Smith (@morrissmith506) reported

    @IBKR YOUR LIVE CHAT IS STILL DOWN😡🤬😡?? WHATS GOING ON- BEEN DOWN FOR AGES- POOR, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

  • NavBharat11 NavBharat (@NavBharat11) reported

    @IBKR the trading platform is down in Australia. How long before we can trade again?

  • BarrowmanBen Ben Barrowman (@BarrowmanBen) reported

    ASTOUNDED at the poor service im receiving from @IBKR. Deposited money over a week ago, which has now disappeared. Have sent proof of payment which apparently isnt enough to get the credit ive paid for into my account. Staff just shurg their shoulder. BEYOND BAD, AVOID!!!!

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    alright im || close to ******* quitting trading retail forEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ive never been so angry in my life and i havent felt a damn thing while trading for ages @IBKR needs to go out of business ASAP before more people lose their mind/money

  • BankofVol BankofVol 💉¹⁰⁰⁰ 🦠¹⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰ (@BankofVol) reported

    @Mike_Hunt_Sr @joyflow4 They tried to fix it but as everything at @IBKR fixing errors takes ages. It should be very simple though they just need to aggregate IB UK account and IB Ireland account and treat them as one consolidated account.

  • JoneTan_2020 Aurora Borealis (@JoneTan_2020) reported

    @IBKR And certainly the worst broker to short stocks that have performed well a day before, because you can never short them with you, because there are supposedly no shares available, at least it is always your excuse! Only with you it is the case! 👌

  • VivinJu86 Vivien Jutsu (@VivinJu86) reported

    @IBKR A single platform is not a bad idea, but risks increase.

  • AndrewMcNary Andrew McNary (@AndrewMcNary) reported

    @IBKR I’ve been trying to get in touch with your support for the last hour. Any secret dance I have to do in order to get in contact with someone?

  • AmanGup42905275 Aman Gupta (@AmanGup42905275) reported

    @IBKR Well it definitely has poor customer service, I’ve been waiting over 2 months for my business account to get approved after waiting over 2 weeks for an application issue that was your fault to get resolved. 2.5 months later and still waiting…

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    I realize that this should not be a question for IBKR uses but for @IBKR themselves... Can we move the maintenance window for futures to 5-6PM ET?

  • VailshireCap Dr. Jeff Ross (Pleb counselor) (@VailshireCap) reported

    3/ ...to a new, client-friendly broker/custodian in 2022. I want what's best for my #Vailshire clients and @IBKR is failing them with terrible UI/UX and application/account services--despite years of complaints and suggestions. Sorry to rant.

  • dtradehunter Dtradehunter (@dtradehunter) reported

    @IBKR What the *** is going on with @IBKR?? Can't connect...system down??. Can't even get help!

  • philbets2 phil bets (@philbets2) reported

    @EvanBleker @IBKR they are not a customer first service. ive been having similar issues its so frustrating. and what's even worse is their awful customer support who wont provide any details or information,. best of luck. use lightspeed in my opinion

  • averygrrl Avery 🌸💝📈📊💹✊🌹 (@averygrrl) reported

    @IBKR pro client here can you stop shutting your platform down at midnight every single night? kinda tired of losing thousands of dollars over your random restarts, data cuts and unannounced server outages trying to trade futures on IBKR is like lighting yourself on fire

  • penguinodinero Penguinodinero (@penguinodinero) reported

    The use of @IBKR will go down as one of the worst experiences of my life using a product. This wasnt a bad burger or a broken product. This was investments in our future made more difficult from this product. 1/2
