Consider the following questions to help narrow down the source of your MobileTrader problem before you call Customer Service:
Do I only have this problem with MobileTrader?
If you're having trouble logging into your MobileTrader account, or
performing a specific trading action, log out and try the same action
with another of IB's trading platforms such as TWS or WebTrader. This
will help you better describe your problem when you speak with customer
service.
Is the problem only with my device, or do other devices have this problem?
The protocols used with MobileTrader are the same as those for any
basic web browser. You can log in and try to perform the same functions
using Firefox or Internet Explorer.
If the problem is with my device, are there any settings I should check?
Mobile devices have a limited number of settings, but you could try the following:
- Clear the browser cache (this empties all stored pages).
- Clear the cookies (empties session properties).
- Ensure that https (secure web) is supported.
Something has changed with my service or device. Where can I go to resolve this issue?
Check with your service provider. A local store with an in-house
technician may be the best source of information since they deal with
customer issues on a daily basis. Call the store and ask to speak to a
technician - they may be able to resolve your issue over the phone.
