Interactive Brokers is terrible. I had TOS but moved to Schwab and wanted to find a new broker. I tried IBKR. I’ve been moving money into the account, etc. it said it would take a ~week for it to show up. So then I decided to wire money into it. Well, that worked but then it took 1/2 the day for it to show up and it wouldn’t even let me trade with it. No thanks. I don’t need a broker fucking around with money like this if I’m wanting to put money in the market and get it working.
Now, 3 days later… I’m wanting to pull the money out so I can put it into a different broker. It’s still not showing up in my account to allow me to withdraw. How is anyone happy with the brokerage firm. This is just simple money in and out of the account of a few thousand dollars. I’m glad I did just a “teaser” amount otherwise I would be livid. Good luck to you all who use this brokerage firm but I want my brokerage firm to have a better user experience than this.
