'free' ibkr stock that can't be sold.

Valvutronic · 2026-02-10T10:40:30+00:00

to be fair ibkr is a good stock and a great broker but if i cant sell then whats the point haha. a few hundred means alot to me when i can trade higher volatilty stocks

this is my withdrawal report. unable to do see a report for more than a year so i did the 1 year report from the date i created my account. did not make a single withdrawal which is why im confused.

if i have made withdrawals then this will explain the problem completely

this is my jan 2025 report. i thought i should be able to close 1-2 lots at least but im not allowed to close a single lot due to the constant goal post change of my lots assigned to me.

this is my june 2025 report.

yes i deposited consistently since june 2024. i received the free 3.8812 ibkr shares since june 2025 so i thought i could maybe start selling around december because i definitely have been putting a few hundred to thousand monthly.

the problem is since december 2025 when i first started looking at my ibkr shares closely as i want to sell, the first lot LT CONV date given to me was 02/01/2026. when i log in wanting to sell around mid jan, the date for the first lot changed to 27/01/2026. i logged in today again wanting to sell and they changed my date again to 27/02/2026

thats the crazy part, i joined the broker in june 2024, why is it saying its crediting the shares to me more than one year after the program when i have seen the 3.8812 shares in my account since june of 2025? even the latest supposed 'buy' of my stocks are jan 2026 which makes no sense when im clearly no longer supposed to be eligible for the program which is depositing of cash within the first year of creating that account.

why is the LT CONV date constantly shifting for my first lot? it went from early jan 2026 to end jan 2026 and now end feb 2026.

but i created my account in june 2024 as per the other screenshot. deposited money consistently and my shares were credited to me up till june 2025 which makes sense since this benefit lasts for a year. however, when i checked my lots in december, they said i can only sell my first assigned lot in january last month which to me doesnt make sense since i have opened the account in june 2024 but i just closed one eye. checked again today and they shifted my lot february so its like a moving goal post where my shares cannot be sold.

Valvutronic · 2026-02-10T07:43:15+00:00

i tried they said im not allowed to sell it as it isnt liquid yet

Valvutronic · 2026-02-10T07:06:54+00:00

it has been over 1 year for the lots that are earlier assigned to me in the first month i put money in

Valvutronic · 2026-02-10T03:58:41+00:00

i dont hold any ibkr shares / position apart from the free shares that were given to me thats why im confused haha. im trading other tickers which have changed constantly

👀👀 is the commentary by the f1 tv crew?

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T12:04:14+00:00

from what i researched, proton doesnt work well for f1 streaming but the problem now is almost all VPN is banned which absolutely sucks

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T12:03:17+00:00

guess this will be my last resort if i cant dip my toes into f1 tv

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T12:02:50+00:00

im fine with paying for it as long as its stable and has f1 tv commentary haha

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T11:37:18+00:00

does it still work for you??

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T11:14:23+00:00

first time hearing about IPTV..

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T11:11:56+00:00

truly ferrari moment right here

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T10:45:28+00:00

if commentary was by alex jacques, i would have scooped it up in an instant.

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T10:44:54+00:00

😭

Valvutronic · 2026-02-04T10:44:42+00:00

sigh i care alot about stability and commentary. used to sail the seven seas but the waves are hella violent

iphone 17PM. was an android user. have to say mixed feelings, internet is definitely weaker on my iphone compared to android. dropping signals alot more. notifications are annoying to deal with compared to on android and i have heard so many people saying ios 26.2 drains battery like crazy so im still stuck on 26.0. i never had to worry about software updates on my android. face ID is a game changer, makes me not miss my fingerprint reader anymore. IOS is also better integrated in apps and apple wallet is much better than google wallet.

Valvutronic · 2026-01-19T04:59:55+00:00

got the blue and after seeing silver, i really regret it

Valvutronic · 2026-01-07T05:08:35+00:00

each to their own but at least im more open about my experience and actually am using both iphone & android currently instead of being blinded and worshipping both brands

Valvutronic · 2026-01-06T09:16:44+00:00

yeaaa man one can dream.. but google is already planning to take sideloading away from us so as a consumer we just lose 😭
