Troubleshooting

How to fix Interactive Brokers not working

Interactive Brokers is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach interactivebrokers.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Check Interactive Brokers status
Open the official status page: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=en/software/systemStatus.php. If web login fails but Trader Workstation or IBKR Mobile opens, use the working client for account checks while you keep testing the broken one.
Reset Client Portal cookies
For Chrome, open chrome://settings/siteData, search for interactivebrokers.com, and delete the matching site data. Close every Client Portal tab, open a new private window, and sign in again from interactivebrokers.com.
Fix IBKR Mobile approval
If a login waits for mobile approval, open IBKR Mobile and tap the authentication prompt rather than waiting on the browser page. On iPhone go to Settings, Notifications, IBKR Mobile, Allow Notifications; on Android go to Settings, Apps, IBKR Mobile, Notifications, and allow notifications for the app.
Rename the TWS settings folder
Quit Trader Workstation first. On Windows, press Windows+R, enter %USERPROFILE%, and rename the Jts folder to Jts.old; on macOS, open Finder, choose Go, Home, and rename Jts to Jts.old. Start TWS again, since it will create a fresh settings folder, and move your saved layouts back only if the login and launch problem is gone.

While Interactive Brokers is down: what to use instead

IBKR Mobile Use the app if the website or Client Portal will not load, especially for checking balances or managing an order that is already in the account.
Trader Workstation Open Trader Workstation if the browser session is failing, because the desktop platform may still connect when the site has login or page errors.
Official status page Check the official status page before changing account settings, since Interactive Brokers may post platform or market data notices there.
Another brokerage account Use a separate account at a broker such as Charles Schwab or Fidelity only if you already keep funds or positions there and a trade cannot wait.

About

What happens when Interactive Brokers goes down

Interactive Brokers is a US focused brokerage for people who trade and manage accounts through Client Portal, Trader Workstation, IBKR Mobile, and its trading APIs. An outage can block logins, order entry, account balances, and market data when traders need to watch positions or place trades.

Login trouble often shows up first. You may see Client Portal or the app hang after a password or security prompt, while Trader Workstation keeps reconnecting instead of opening a session. If trading systems are affected, orders may sit pending or reject at submit, and the order ticket may fail to show a clear status. Market data, positions, funding pages, and reports can also lag; problems can be regional, though one platform or product area may be the only part hit.

Questions

Interactive Brokers FAQ

Is Interactive Brokers down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for Interactive Brokers are above their usual level. You can also compare it with the Interactive Brokers official status page: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=en/software/systemStatus.php. If reports look normal, test another site, switch from WiFi to mobile data, restart Trader Workstation or the app, and try Client Portal in a private browser window to see whether the problem stays on one device or connection.

Why can’t I sign in to Client Portal or Trader Workstation?

Check that your username and password work on the website before you keep retrying in Trader Workstation. If the security prompt does not arrive, open IBKR Mobile and confirm that notifications are allowed. One device can be the problem, so try the web login from a different browser before changing account settings.

Why is IBKR Mobile stuck on loading or showing a connection problem?

A bad network handoff can leave the app half connected, especially after switching between WiFi and cellular data. Force close the app, reopen it, and try the other connection type. If Client Portal also fails in a browser, the issue is less likely to be only the phone.

Why are quotes delayed or orders not submitting in Trader Workstation?

First check whether you are logged in with live trading access rather than a read only or paper session. Market data can also look wrong if a subscription, exchange permission, or account setting does not cover the instrument you are viewing. If order tickets fail across several symbols, compare with the official status page before you keep changing order settings.

What should I check when deposits, withdrawals, or account transfer pages do not load?

Open the funding page in Client Portal from a desktop browser if the mobile app stalls. Turn off browser extensions that block scripts, then sign out and sign back in. If only one funding method fails, review the linked bank or transfer instruction instead of assuming the whole brokerage site is down.

How we track Interactive Brokers

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Interactive Brokers, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Interactive Brokers, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Interactive Brokers's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
