Terrible broker Terrible broker, I have $27000 in my account, it's NOT allowing me to purchase stocks, available funds in my account and I cant buy. Do yourself a favour, search for something better. Customer service = non-existent Search for reviews online, you will know what I'm saying.

Corrupted Cant buy a stock because THEY evaluate it to be too high? Do not join the trading platform, corrupted.

THE MOST GOD DAMN AWFUL BROKER I HAVE USED IN 20 YEARS… THE MOST GOD DAMN AWFUL BROKER I HAVE EVER USED. IMPOSSIBLE TO LOG INTO ON WEB / DESKTOP (IT KEEPS OPENING MY MOBILE APP BUT ONCE I LOG IN THERE THERE IS STILL NO WAY TO LOG IN ON THE MACBOOK). THEIR MOBILE APP IS ABYSMAL. JUST DON'T BOTHER. THEIR DESKTOP APP IS SOOOO HARD TO USE. YOU CAN'T FIND THE MOST BASIC AND POPULAR INSTRUMENTS TO TRADE. TOTALLY USER UNFRIENDLY AND OVERLY COMPLICATED. BUT I'M SAVING THE BEST CRITICISM FOR LAST: THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT. I ALSO DEFY YOU TO GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND FIND A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. AVOID.

DO NOT USE ,USELESS AND WASTE OF TIME. This company makes investing the HARDEST thing ,Zero customer service contact, Useless systems for managing people's money ,I have just closed my ACCOUNT I hope my refund gets to me before the WORLD ENDS.STAY AWAY FROM THIS BROKER.

Large broker but not for < $100k… Large broker but not for < $100k client. Heavy commissions for today's choice of brokers. TWS platform old and freezes. Have to really pay for each extra (Ryanair experience): market data - can't plot charts without subscription, inactivity fees, third-rated quality news. Adds up to real cost of $300-$500 per year (Lite version not available outside the US). Support tickets closed at will. Phone assistance useless and makes issues worse (eg, by resetting passwords where not asked). Forms/requests not processed. Customer never right -- forget about 'compensation' even if mistake is made by IBKR. Customers are treated obnoxiously, the company refuses to accept any errors. You will always be 'wrong'. Noticeable how IBKR in-house traders/trading systems are trying to fleece you on option spreads and limit orders. IBKR does makes markets against their client positions. Also, IBKR forcibly closes-out one leg of combo trades to manage their own book and profitability (not your risk!) leaving you with the market exposure in the wrong way.
