@IBKR I cannot get through to your customer support. I have tried Chat and calling, but no response. I gave up after an hour. I am unable to withdraw funds, which has never been an issue prior to the Brexit migration.

@fitz_keith Varney was reporting outages at major investment firms (e.g., Fidelity). I didn't have any issues personally at Fidelity or IBKR. Used the morning rally to sell Feb 05 40calls against my core $PLTR position. So, the mini-crash had my eyes bulging. Didn't flip (BTC) though...yet.

@m_pereire @HLInvest @IBKR Same here. Happened before ...their infrastructure old tired like the app/web not fit for purpose, and they’re doing nothing to fix. I’m leaving. Best alternative is #Trading212 no commissions no fx charges (HL 0.45% rip off) good for general investing and ISAs. Good luck 👍🏻

@gabejoseph8 Because I bought immediately and then I thought that was stupid because it will calm down a bit & then tried to get out. I sold double my original position by accident because I haven’t activated my automatic order size on IBKR to match that of my position size.

@i3Trading @TDAmeritrade @banquenationale @Scotia_iTRADE @cibc @IBKR @etrade IB is usually pretty reliable but they have their issues too and a generally horrible lack of support if you ever do have an issue.

@SanjibkrDas2 @HypoliteIzerim1 @SubhamP13011108 @MichaelVaughan How did they suddenly lost form... Labuschagne was unstoppable against Pak and NZ last summer, got runs in ODIs, Smith back to back hundreds. They didn't lose form. They were figured out. If a plan to stop them can be executed by Ind A bowlers then it is certainly a problem.

As a retail investor account owner and a business fiduciary account holder at interactive brokers I’m becoming very concerned. In over a decade as a client of theirs I’ve never seen this many brokerage outages. This is the 3rd outage in a few months. Might need to switch.
