Strategic Degen (@StrategicDegen) reportedI lost about $5k yesterday due to liquidation. I tried moving $5k to @IBKR, but it failed despite having cash in my checking account. I don’t blame anyone; this is part of the game. Losing $5k after locking in $65k gains last month is insignificant. I always ensure I have enough buying power and SMA. My mistake was opening a large $HIVE.NE short put that eroded most of my buying power as collateral. Even though it will only use half of that collateral for margin maintenance, it used full cost as requirement until assignment. Was it risky? Maybe I was set to lock in $5k from that play yesterday if the price didn’t drop. The lesson is to avoid selling short puts that erode buying power. Buying shares is better on margin. Next week, I’ll have more buying power to buy back $EOSE, average down on $HIVE, and buy $KEEL (hopefully below $5 when Asia gets crushed Sunday and overnight due to leverage). I optimized my tax lot for $EOSE to ensure as part of that liquidation, it took out shares that had gains instead of FiFO or LILO. This way I work around wash sale if I buy back shares within the next 30 days.

大侠 (@M2MLiRWzrWumuWR) reported@IBKR This is garbage! I opened a sub-account on May 22nd and deposited funds on May 23rd, but it's still showing as pending on June 1st. I can't trade and have missed many opportunities. The price is already very high. Can't you compensate me? Damn it!😭

赛博游牧武士道 (@wenchengwude) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Please lift the PDT restriction on my account! I’ve moved all my funds to Charles Schwab, but their app is terrible—it’s incredibly sluggish and requires a VPN to access from within China! I don’t want to leave Interactive Brokers; this is my home! Please lift the PDT restriction

Jatin Jani (@Jatin_S_Jani) reported@IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.
-
KhushbooR (@KhushbooR1) reportedInadvertently transferred funds to @IBKR @thomaspeterffy in the US without even having an account, and now your website/customer care is so confusing, I can't even get an option to request refund/reversal. How do I contact you?
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedI have to switch brokers @IBKR has some serious issues with their app. It's like 10x slower than any other brokerage to navigate to trade. Then stop limits don't even work on stocks with a penny spread it's bizarre

🅰️LB🅰️ 📈📉 (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedThere 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 ? 🙏
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Just fix your ****** platform and stop trying to blame my network. This is 2026. When I log into TWS I feel like I am using an Atari. Get update to date.

Otunba ₿ (@OgbeiEdward) reported@IBKR @IBKR I deposited funds during an account application that was subsequently declined. I have raised a support ticket, sent emails, and sent DMs. Over a week later, no response and no refund. I expect a regulated institution to do better than this. Please resolve this urgently.

Violet (@belfort0609) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR I told them to go **** themselves in the email closing my account. Never going back. Their building janitor can run their ops desk better than every keyboard monkey on there combined.
