  @IBKR guys, you send out warnings about phishing attacks on IBKR accounts, but then also send out a mail about annual verification *WITH A LINK INCLUDED IN THE MAIL*. Come on. Stop including links in your official mails. Just tell us what to expect when we login. Not hard.

  Just keep $AMC above $1 until shorts crack, that's it, that's all you have to do. @IBKR showed me 11112.2 Bil shares traded volume today. The glitch better have my money, that's all I'm saying. ABOVE ONE DOLLAR. I like that discount, count me in. The Box Office will bring $$$$$$$

  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 warrants 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

  @IBKR serioulsy why do you signicantly changed the customer report settings?

  Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported 9 minutes ago

  @IBKR The worst customer service EVER! I started an application on Thursday 3/19 and I already hate you. Was denied trading permission for futures on a cash account. Nobody can tell me why I was denied or what the requirements to trade futures are.

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me

  @IBKR To issue a web ticket, I need to sign in, but my issue to start with is related to my inability to sign in. Possible to PM me and provide me some contact information in the form of an email or phone number to call that provides me a human to speak to who can verify me.

  One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported 14 minutes ago

  @IBKR Thx for your reply, but this was a week ago. 😬 This was a first technical issue in a long time, so no hard feeling, but would have liked a much swifter response in the app,this took several hours and that is just too long.

  @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @IBKR very bad experience! My profile access was restricted without any explanations. Contacted customer support multiple times without any response. Totally unethical practice by IBKR!

  Arno (@arnoblits) reported 16 minutes ago

  @CharlesSchwab @IBKR I have gone through your standard support channels before, and the result is always a deflection of accountability back onto my local hardware. The issue is not my machine's optimization; it is the fundamental architectural bottleneck of your legacy Java-based platform.

  @aleabitoreddit @labubu_trader @IBKR I totally concur that #IBKR UI is trash, also the response time for navigating and waiting for things to load is just intolerable. Please upgrade the infra and spend some money to fix!

  @IBKR Please inbox me for more information in and if you're willing to help me fix this issue you shouldn't (discriminate) due to financial capacity and I don't use the word discriminate lightly.

  @IBKR The issue is quite simple. I cannot invest in anything unless I lie about my income. People in pensions are not allowed to try and make money. Heaven forbid they actually get a foot up if they don't have a small fortune to use. What's wrong with knocking in 50 to $30 the minimum?
