Wierd support
Everything was goind well with my trading on this broker's platform until when I got this tsrange behavior from the support crew.I asked some questionsThey responded to one,and then they left me waiting for like an hour or so.Then they got back and gave feedback but unclear.When I clarified my question-they didn't respond for even longer time.This is weird.Although I enjoyed TWS.

I was robbed and blocked from withdrawing! I'd be broke if Cele-stial-drifts hadn't intervened. Fake site
Worst company on planet Earth
Worst company on planet Earth. Literally banned for life from converting USD/CAD. You guys are really brutal.
Education
IB educatinoal section is just VAST, plenty of stuff to learn
some commissions r there
Better support needed
As for brker of their calibre they need to level up their tech support
broker I trust
this broker is my main one to trade. I have everything here...
but its desktop software is idk, too complex to me🤷♂️, but the rest is great.
Low comissions, lots of tools
impressive support
for a broker of this scale with soo many people you think they would be slow on supp. but I was wrong to assume that, they answered my fast.
Dreadful onboarding experience
Signed up for various accounts a few weeks ago with a view to consolidating my and my families accounts in one place and under one company. The main attraction though is/was their fees on overseas trades where other brokers cream off 1%-2% but IBKR are wafer thin.
That all might still hold however the customer onboarding and transfers in has been incredibly frustrating. They take ages to get things done and the customer support is terrible. The website is antiquated too.
I'm hoping that once everything is transferred in then my reason for moving will still be valid but they do make things hard for customers
Excellent Service
IBKR provides low fees, fast and dependable execution, and is a trustworthy platform. Its advanced trading features and broad market access made it a strong choice for managing my investments efficiently.
If you want
education of trading? Then you will find plenty of it here, and they have such a vast academy with all types of education. Anybody can find something interesting for themselves.

Your stop loss will not work in a volatile stock be careful!!!
If you experience a malfunction in their slow system and lose money because of it, do not expect to receive a refund. Furthermore, they have an algorithm called price cap, it is mainly intended for small cap, this algorithm will destroy your account if you are holding a volatile stock. your stop loss will not work until the stock stabilizes (It sounds foolish, but that is the truth. the stop loss will only take effect once the stock calms down) Absolutely not recommended.
One of the safest
I didn’t know..,but turns out they are very respectable in trading

I have used about 4-5 brokers and this is easily the worst. From having to use your mobile device for every little thing to not executing market orders timely on massive liquid stocks. It’s absolutely the biggest money suck I’ve ever seen. My favorite is that they will announce corporate actions that are known the day of after hours and get you completely locked in to positions you didn’t ask for. Garbage company and trash customer service. Deserves to go out of business.
IBKR spread is a scam
When you trade options and stocks closing the position with profits is extremely difficult as IBKR applies a big spread that make you loose money
So many comissions
prices are just too confusing, like why cant you make it more clear🤦♂️
Outdated login website
I'm struggling since a month to verify my account as your website is not user friendly and is not straight forward. I am unable to update my address but won't indicate what exactly I need to do or did wrong.
