  • TheGeorgePu George Pu (@TheGeorgePu) reported

    Been using it for two years, but let me say it again, @IBKR’s API is SO BAD.

  • FlyrUsr Flyr (@FlyrUsr) reported

    Anyone here use @IBKR ? Do they support 24/7 CBOE options like SPX VIX etc ?

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Your trading software TWS is the worst

  • Bananaz2017 Banana (@Bananaz2017) reported

    @IBKR Since 24 Jan I have been in touch with #IBKR customer service to help solve a critical issue with my portfolio positions. It's end of March and very little to no progress has been made. Defo NOT a no. 1 #Platform . @etrade did a much better job in a fraction of time.

  • Jay64455769 Jaydizzyboy (@Jay64455769) reported

    @IBKR once again your servers go down in the middle of the trading day.I can't log back in.What a disgrace of a company

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Your TWS platform is the biggest piece of sh*t. Slow and glitchy

  • IvanVanDamn Ivan 🇧🇬🍺🏆🛸 (@IvanVanDamn) reported

    @IBKR Your KYC service is more than horrible 🤮

  • Jay64455769 Jaydizzyboy (@Jay64455769) reported

    @IBKR it would be really difficult to have a worst service than yours....literally the most disgusting website in the history of the internet. At this point you are affecting my ability to trade timely and accordingly.I'm nearly at the end of my patience

  • whitebreadfox Whitebreadfox (@whitebreadfox) reported

    @IBKR Lmao how to trust a broker who provides their Clients with the worst trading software TWS?

  • siufungchow siufungchow (@siufungchow) reported

    @IBKR 續上..l am not a slave !! l want Iiving happy and free !! I want to cook what I want to eat !! Why Home Office and goverment don't soIve the problem? Why delay move me to London or another pIace? This is why I hate UK!! They pIant hatred!!..待續

  • Chimpantv 🍌ChimpanTV🍌 ~ ENVTuber (@Chimpantv) reported

    @Mom1o1 @IBKR You are openly shitting on a company with terrible grammar, also well done you spotted I was a chimp, least some effort was put into my profile picture xD

  • RealChangeUK1 AJS (@RealChangeUK1) reported

    @JawadAr19906718 @IBKR You are too stupid to make up your own mind about your personal finances, OK. The broker needs to take your investment and sell it to the lowest bidder so that they can benefit from having unfettered access to the equity markets. You're a stupid idiot, basically.

  • WorldErica World Erica😷 (@WorldErica) reported

    @IBKR my app. Had been down since last night anyone else have the same problem ? It keeps on showing connecting

  • RonMadison11 Ron NoFilterGooGoo🔥🩳🔥😳👨🏻‍🍼 (@RonMadison11) reported

    @Just__10 @IBKR @RobinhoodApp 4/ SPACs. The SEC made a monster error here. They let companies now go public without proving validation around assertions from prospectuses, etc.

  • F4DE2BL4CK Fade2Black (@F4DE2BL4CK) reported

    @silberschmelzer @IBKR I mostly hold liquid ETFs and sell options against them. IBKR says you can still do so with them lent out and it doesn’t affect margin. Has there been any issues during times of volatility, like Jan 2018 and Mar 2020?

  • JustinSherfield Justin Sherfield (@JustinSherfield) reported

    @sunny051488 @IBKR Have been unable to place an opening or closing trade all day. No customer service despite multiple efforts. Mainly a trust thing at this point

  • DaleOHays Dale Hays (@DaleOHays) reported

    @IBKR Now, if you just learned how to deliver a great 'Customer Experience' - instead of delivering low quality Customer Service on a consistent basis. Just try to contact a CSR and see how long it takes to actually resolve an issue. Also, there is NOBODY to lodge a complaint with.

  • 2ndKings4 Sunshine 🇬🇧🇿🇼 (@2ndKings4) reported

    @sabrina_ar_7 @IBKR Yup it was awful. Imagine a 5 point stop turning to a 100pt stop… a full ES would have been 5k!

  • AntiFragileRock LOLer (@AntiFragileRock) reported

    Hey @IBKR is there ever a weekend when you’re NOT doing maintenance?? JFC almighty

  • cdnsgt Rob Kennedy (@cdnsgt) reported

    @IBKR I simply cannot express my sincere disappointment with this trading platform and support. I’ve researched the best platform out there and decided on IBRK. Has been nothing but a nightmare trying to get this setup to trade even with my initial large deposit into my account.

  • Umittaluy Umit Taluy (@Umittaluy) reported

    @IBKR @CNBC Still can't trade commodities because of tech problems last 2 weeks???

  • mach5doteth mach5 dot eth (@mach5doteth) reported

    3 @IBKR while they offer many different ways of accessing markets and doing interesting trades, their customer support is absolutely horrible and their software stack is extremely dated. I had to dig out punch cards to use it so to speak.

  • z6HpKuRKhoeQ1PB Shan liang (@z6HpKuRKhoeQ1PB) reported

    @IBKR Humans must consider the long-term survival of human beings. Do not fail to see the existential crisis of human beings for the sake of their own little immediate interests. Humans, like ants, are too short-sighted and too stupid.

  • Jay64455769 Jaydizzyboy (@Jay64455769) reported

    @IBKR you ******* disgrace!!!! 3 days in a row website goes down in the middle of the trading day..i honestly have no words for you you DISGUSTING PIECE OF ****

  • 2016shift ReadingAstro|:|||:Tarot http://paypal.me/16suns/11 (@2016shift) reported

    @IBKR Stochastic is BS. Chinese nose down to minute second on e.g. Venus in Hydra 2016.

  • jfletcher360 JeremyFletcher (@jfletcher360) reported

    Why would I ever want to login to @IBKR without trading permission...problems with IB again today. Have to go to the phone app.

  • Saed74385966 Jenny (@Saed74385966) reported

    @IBKR The contract size is 1/10 of the E-mini product, which can more accurately hedge the risk exposure changes of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, and help to better control the risk/reward ratio of the trading strategy.

  • DmpPatterson Dennis Patterson (@DmpPatterson) reported

    @IBKR IB Can i trust you? The platform went down two weeks ago and you still have not adjusted my trade. What gives?
