    @buyerofponzi @IBKR Terrible service, perhaps the worst. I've had countless glitches and had my account locked before too.

    @buyerofponzi @IBKR They do suck bad I removed all my funds.

    After being a customer for 20+ years at @IBKR, I’m seriously considering changing brokers. Earlier this week, I got a margin call notice, which made no sense because my account is fully funded. Turns out it was tied to an old secondary account I created years ago to sweep in some non-marketable securities — you know, those dregs we’ve all held onto that technically went to zero but still somehow show up in the account. (Don’t lie, you’ve done it too.) Anyway, this account has sat idle for years, and for some reason it incurred a $12 charge, which pushed the zero-balance account into a margin call. I’ve tried contacting @IBKR numerous times about this, but if you know anything about IB, customer service is not the reason you use them. I even wired funds into the account to clear it. They show they received it, but I can’t find any record of it being credited, and I suspect it may have been applied to the wrong account. There was a time when it made sense to use Interactive Brokers because they had aggressive commissions and access to hard-to-trade issues. But nowadays, that advantage is mostly gone. I’m seriously wondering why I would stay with them when such a minuscule issue has turned into such a major pain in the ***.

    @marketswithmags @TradingLucid Why Prop firms make it so hard for people to cash out money they earned? @IBKR doesn’t need you to cool down.

    @bclund @IBKR Everyone has had these same thoughts multiple times with $IBKR for one issue or another. You'll be back. They're so much better

    @IBKR I shouldn't have to say I have billions when I have a disability support pension and just want to get a foot up. I also want to invest in a company that I believe in that will help a project hopefully

    @CharlesSchwab @IBKR Today during the extreme volume spikes, the Java client completely locked up, preventing me from broadcasting closing orders to the exchange via AT. I’d appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.

    @IBKR Not being able to see the performance of an asset when we are changing the time-frame, and letting it fix on the intraday only is so stupid guys

    @IBKR I’m trying to re-open a closed account in Malta, but am locked out of 2FA/IB Key. Can you provide the best contact method for IBKR Ireland support to handle a security device reset?
