Yes, it did appear in the daily statement, and furthermore I was logged into TWS about to make the same trade (liquidation) myself but the risk...
I received the bulletin, both in TWS and by email. I will share one observation that has occurred over the past few days – and for context my...
I’m a bit more proactive, you take what you get – even if not ideal. The last few market days, including today has been a nice change.
Hey Robert, My positions are largely credit spreads and a very low number of naked shorts. I find myself purchasing low cost (in actual dollar...
Thanks, it’s going to be something I’ll just have to build into my routine.
I’ve done some researching; both here and from previously released IB account margin webinar notes and can’t find anything related to what I’m...
