I absolutely effing HATE having to get used to a new trading platform. They make it so hard to master. Trying @Trading_Tech. Bugs galore. I could improve it 1,000% in minutes. @ibkr 's is intuitive and easy to use. Shame they are so useless at support. Any problem, forget it.

@NevoMagnezi @mrmoneymustache @IBKR For a long-term strategy seems to require massive guts. Huge S&P run-up over the past decade unlikely to last forever. 20% or 40% down year would be very unpleasant to stomach in a 3x fund. Maybe the bonds 3x takes away some of the pain but yikes. Too much downside for me.

Is there a way we can select what positions get liquidated first in a margin call at @IBKR ? They liquidated one of my biggest winners due to a bad print on illiquid stocks. Don’t mind the liquidation, but would be nice if we could prioritize positions

@IBKR Waiting for over 8 days for my approval. My data is ok, but they have a technical bug preventing the approval, situation which happens regularly as I have been told. When it is not approved today, I will withdraw my deposit and go elsewhere...

For any RIAs considering @IBKR as a custodian, I'd suggest you think again. Yes, they have very low margin rates. They also have the worst customer service I've ever seen. Just horrendous.

@IBKR Hey. I've opened an account and I can't convert currencies, the web app is very buggy as well (some user settings errors in the JS console). I also can't post to the IBKR forum. Lots of complaints on Reddit as well. Is the website even secure? This needs fixing. Thanks!

@IBKR You brag about being able to trade EVERYWHERE AND EVERYTHING, but trying to trade OTC F stocks like $KNTNF is IMPOSSIBLE?!! WTF? You want more customers fix an obvious problem. Schwab and TDA and dozens of other brokers trade them!

@IBKR Guys your maintenance update has royally messed up the entire reporting especially performance vs benchmark breakup. This is why maintenance could have been done on sunday instead of saturday. Can you please fix this ASAP?

@IBKR There's no way to contact you, no support at all. You have a broken platform, constant crashes, I get logged out all the time and this is for an account opened today. I tried to contact you today a few times: I funded my account with euros,
