Does anyone actually use @IBKR Desktop successfully? After my 8+ years as a professional trader, it is by far the worst platform I've ever used.

@jockoett @IBKR Private equity (PE) is like investors pooling money to buy companies, fix them up, and sell for profit. Simple breakdown: 1. Raise funds: Get cash from rich folks/pensions. 2. Buy company: Use that cash + loans to acquire (e.g., IBKR via buyout). 3. Improve: Cut costs, grow business. 4. Sell/IPO: Exit for profit, pay back loans/investors. Money flow: Investors → PE firm → Target company (debt added) → Improvements → Sale profits back to investors/PE. It makes sense for efficiency gains and high returns, but risks debt overload.

@IBKR What a disappointment this platform has been, locked out of account, their portal saying I need to speak with their support person, no success after calling for last 3 days, the phone system boots you out citing high call volumes and that I need to call back. Feeling helpless.

@IBKR @IBKR it is literally not allowing me to do anything. I can’t even log in past that basic settings page to contact you. I can’t log in to see my stocks or even sell them. My network connection is fine. I’ve closed the platform, deleted and reinstalled it. Nothing is working

@simplekevin_ @IBKR Have you tried using the options features? half of them aren't even implemented fully. Charts rarely load properly. Poor quality all around. @IBKR

@IBKR @ValueFlipper These guys locked my account because my VPN connected to Cuba and you cant reach anyone by phone to address it, even after sending in the requested proof that I am not there. Worst customer service ever.

@IBKR TWS is buggy and antiquated. IBKR Desktop is so full of bugs it's barely usuable atm. What are we supposed to use? Why is software quality so low for such a large broker?

@SmallCapSmarts @IBKR I may have seen a firsthand situation which contributed to this. Previously they could go *surprisingly* deep into negative equity territory (read - it's your problem, then it's their problem), so there is that. The world has fat tails. Maybe a broker known for good borrow (and by extension smallcaps) like centerpoint would be a good add if this is the arena in question.
