If I had other choice I wouldn´t use IBKR. The whole IBKR system looks archaical to me. Switching from Paper Trading to Live and vice versa... horrible. Who would thought that in 2026 people would like to run both at once...

Thank you for your feedback. We recognize your interest in being able to switch between, or simultaneously run, Paper Trading and Live accounts more easily. Your feedback has been noted and will be considered as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the platform.

Great margin rates, interest on cash balance, and fast execution via TV. But I got the "webhook" error message that others have complained about that kept me from connecting my account with TV until customer support fixed it. My TradeStation account could still connect to TV and I could log into all my IBKR apps/portal, so it was specifically the IBKR/TV that was the problem. They also only allow you one connection at a time unlike TradeStation that allows you to stay connected to TV while also being logged in on the app, platform, and portal all at once. I'm staying with IBKR despite everything for the margin rates and cash yield.
Nothing changed still can't set stop loss and take profit same time, it shows as it is set but actually it failed underneath and stop loss doesn't works when both at same time. Their "help" offer was useless too. Basically they say talk to AI chat bot, which says it is platform limitation and doesn't helps which is bullshit then after 4th message it says message limit reached. This AI support is a joke, IBKR trading view is a joke, IBKR platforms are a joke. Their "new" desktop app laggy as hell, trading workstation is from 1990s, website you can't even get into position because you have to type in numbers what year is this. I turned to trading view it is another joke, you can't set take profit and stop loss at same time as it silently fails and stop loss doesn't works but shows as if it is set.

laggy connection between TV and IBKR. when I purchase data through TV it still doesn't show the real time data when I linked it to IBKR, unelss the rule is I must purchase through IBKR cause I connected the two. Very frustrating.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We regret the frustration caused by the connectivity and data display issues you encountered between TradingView and IBKR. We recommend submitting a webticket with the specific details so this can be reviewed further.
