  Stan (@xbc9stazj) reported 2 minutes ago

  After around 1 year of investing I transferred all my positions from @DEGIRO to @IBKR for risk exposure I had gone from 81.5K€ to 160K€ but the inflation prints and the overall bearishness cycle slowly landed me around ~113K€ Around that time I decided to load up on $RKLB warrants because I loved the company so much (yes, there were $RKLB warrants at some point) These contracts - I didn’t know it at the time - had pretty simple but specific rules : If the stock traded higher than $10 for an extended period of time (~2 weeks I think) the company could redeem them, no matter what the current price was. And man did they redeem them The stock was trading at $8 when they did so, offering us the option to buy the stock at the warrant strike price, $11.5, making them basically worthless on a cash basis I got demolished. I freaked out so bad I didn’t where to hide, for the first time as a market participant, I wanted to cry When I discovered there was a cashless exercice option that gave ~0.3 share per warrant, I was actually relieved. But the damage to my portfolio was severe regardless, basically a 70% wipeout on that massive position I didn’t know it at the time but that event was the trigger for a highway to 14K€ When I said in my quoted tweet that it’s going to be hard, this is what I’m referring to

  @AiStockAgent @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.

  @IBKR Hello @ibkr ... I have a new phone and a new phone number. It has been impossible to speak to anyone due to the lack of IB key and I have tried live chat, email, phonecall, and feedback report, but nothing works. How do I get in touch with someone regarding this. Please help!!!!

  If you're tired of spam calls and you don't want to pay for a streaming music service, just call @IBKR and sit on hold. You can stay connected for a long time before they answer and you won't receive any spam calls. win/win.

  @IBKR hi , I think there’s an error with the total calculations when underlyings are in different currencies like ILS or EUR. The final USD isn’t converting the daily P&L. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thanks !

  @IBKR Warning to anyone considering switching to IBKR will allow you to deposit funds but be aware new accounts will not get approved for trading with no explanation. Here's the best part...you cant even send the funds back to your existing broker so just watch the market while they hold your money. No explanation, no customer support, just tough ****.

  @IBKR If I chose a timeframe on the chart, 1 month, 1 year, 5 years, I should see the percentage of progression during this period. Your stays fix on the daily percentage. It’s not a bug but your choice grok said

  @GeorgeFChahine @IBKR I might open an $IBKR account. I have heard great things and schwab is slacking a bit in their customer service

  @SixSigmaCapital @IBKR Did you submit deposit request first, and sent money after? Stupid question I know, but if not done in this very order it can cause hours of delays with your deposits.

  @IBKR your platform went down in the middle of trades and cancelled orders, resulting into loss of profit. You guys didn't even give an update. Haven't been able to place orders since more than an hour. PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE #futures #trading #ibkr

  Tried to use @IBKR app to buy some QQQ and it was such a bad experience. This is my first time investing so it was overwhelmingly complicated. I put in an application at @public but haven't heard anything back. Their app looks so much easier!

  @super509219312 @IBKR The first was a platform update. The did a beta update and TWS stopped communicating with outside documents. The solution was to switch to the stable platform, which I did. Problem solved. Annoying but no concerns
