Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reportedWould not recommend @IBKR to anyone at the moment. Locked out of trading account due to a system bug for a week. No one able to give an answer when this is fixed or resolved. No apologies, compensation or updates. Lousy customer care. Who is the regulatory body in the US?
-
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported@IBKR Why is TWS doing the following all of a sudden? Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time. Aggravating as hell.
-
DividendMillennial (@DividendMil) reported@GeorgeFChahine @IBKR I might open an $IBKR account. I have heard great things and schwab is slacking a bit in their customer service
-
Vrushabh Bhangod (@Vrushabh3211) reported@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 !
-
(((Marise Hausner))) (@olimassociates) reportedStay away from @IBKR. Poor customer service. Even poorer IT dept. No to little concern for clients. No excuse for this level of incompetence.
-
Taxation Is Theft. (@j61968) reported@IBKR i cant fund my account your support is an ai loop that goes nowhere. USELESS! @IBKR

irby (@irby0955) reported@IBKR Combine service wtf bro someone call Gordon freeman
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR You have a substandard platform and your support staff is basicslly nonexistent. I would advise people to stay away from IB. If you run into a situation and need help you will not get it.
-
Hyperbolic Discounter (@HyperbolicDisco) reported@senzu_capital @IBKR Yep. It is worrying. All the permissions are in place - I checked, so it must be a glitch. I emailed my rep - she’s very responsive. Hopefully it is fixed by morning.
-
James Sun (@LSKMSun) reported@IBKR the speed for es quote is very slow!!!!!
-
Colt45.eth (@wilson_eth) reported@TheTechInvest @IBKR The buyer of these is far more likely just playing the pop on the depressed option. Not bad news by any means but probably similar to the $700 tsla calls that keep coming through heavy.
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@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
-
Leo GNK (@GnkLeo17852) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Hello, I am having trouble accessing my Interactive Brokers account. I recently deleted the authenticator from my Microsoft Authenticator app, and now I cannot log in because I no longer have access to the security code. Could you please help me recover my account and reset my

Mark Bratt 🔻🔻🔻 (@MarkBratt924939) reported@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I don’t, but if I were a ****** capitalist I would own physical goods such as property, precious metal, guns, non taxable physical coin collection. Paper is coming to an end and US Tbonds are going down to CIPS and destruction of the petrodollar.
-
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reportedIs it just me or is @IBKR TWS doing things on its own, most of which are very aggravating. Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time.
-
sroy (@roy34340023) reported@IBKR Your India ops is a complete circus. The simulation is a joke, your customer service is clueless. Zero faith in doing any trades thru you.
-
Name Can't Be Blank (@BearBullDebate) reported@OddDiligence yes you should have had a bulletin alerting you to that. And yes the clowns at @ibkr said they'd fix it, didn't, and then said resolved.
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@l1quid1ty @IBKR but yeh i get your point...its an exchange issue whoever that exchange may be. Clearly this isnt the case with otc stuff like fx which is obviously their issue.
-
BatCAt (@BatcatCA) reported@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.
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@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?
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@senzu_capital @JosephW31117119 @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.
-

H💣 (@harryrhart) reported@IBKR how ******** to do I know login into my account? I used to get a text message... now everything is ******! I want to place a sell order and I CAN'T ACCESS MY ACCOUNT! WHAT SORT OF TRADING BUSINESS ARE YOU RUNNING! #FFS
-
Néstor Chávez (@nestdot_) reported@IBKR @IBKRespanol I’ve been trying to open an account for months but keep getting stuck at phone verification. Sometimes the system even says “Your application has been cancelled.” Emails go unanswered and support tickets are unavailable. Please assist urgently.
-
Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR 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
-
Vivek Vtsp Teja (@VivekVtspTeja) reportedThank you @Chase for blocking 3 wires. Making me sit on the call for hours and still not sending it. I am only sending it to @IBKR who I have sent it in the past. Wtf
-
Clausius investments (@MinhungShih) reported@IBKR please fix your stupid, ugly iOS app. Pathetic in the age of AI. Cc @vladtenev
-
Reuben Walker (@bwalkers212) reported@IBKR Locked out of account. Software & telephone of no help. Artificial Intelligence consulted. Nothing works.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR My bid & ask spreads disappeared. I had to restart TWS to get them back. Then i was getting messages that I was under pdt and i wasn't alliwoded to trade. I am not uber pdt. Not even close to it. I shut down TWS & restarted. That resolved the issue.

Cotednq (@Dougcotefx) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Deleting tweets after a photo shop error is definitely not a red flag at all. Totally definitely legit.
