I had crazy liquidation by IB too. That was mostly in 2008. I had a small account and didn't do much about it. I had options spreads that the max loss was limited, but it seems that IB software those days might not looked at both legs of the spread.

Interesting hippie... you should have done something about it. Interactive Brokers is a bunch of first class idiots. For example, looking at one of my portfolios they force liquidated I was holding credit spreads where my maximum loss would have been $8,380... I was only a little more than half margined.... they force liquidated me and instead made me incur a loss of $11,761...well in excess of my previous max loss. Then they have the nerve to tell me i'm wreckless... I am furious.
