i'm going to call IB beg them to take me of PDT restriction.. if not i'm going to call TOS get the ticket charge dropped and wire some money in.. i think..

Tradestation .. Anyone?



The PDT restriction has nothing to do with IB. It's an SEC provision. IB simply executes the policy. Begging won't help.

Would TOS be your recommendation for portfolio margin trading of options?

how much volume do you have to trade before they will take off the ticket charge?

right now i use IB for execution, but I don't want to pay the monthly subscription fees for the market feeds so i keep a few bucks with TDA and use their TOS platform for real time data and analytics.

but if they were to take off the ticket price then I'd be much more inclined to just use TOS for everything.
