For european instruments, Saxo bank is a good replacement. Maybe also for american instruments, but I did not check.
I think traders are more calculated so they phase out and look for a new broker rather then just emotionally closing positions. The same way, good...
You can use this tool: http://twsstart.free.fr/index.html However, still you need to log in TWS for the random code (or turn that off).
You will get charged, only on the stress test, you can only see it one day later..... It's a simple calculation, that's why it takes so long to...
Most people will do that to compensate for the additional cost. So the only winner is IB, while for all traders the risk incraeses
I think they will still charge you the fee because you still have the obligation and thus exposure regardless the daily settlement. It is all...
You are of course right, but IB imposed this fee with only a week notice. Need some time to close the positions. This fee is totally ridiculous...
No fee on the report does not mean no fee. The fee is sometimes added later. It is important to see if you have a number in the 30% scenario on...
This is hard to calculate as it depends on how much your options are OTM from the start. I guess that you have to keep your margin level for the...

You can use the risk analysis tool. You should add a column in the equity tab: insert column > 'plot data column' > select custom and make it...
I'm also a LT client with several accounts. I just do not want to be naive and sit too long.
I understand his problem. IB just changes things onesided without full information and no proper pre consultation or investigation. It is similar...
Yes, the fee is exponential. It 'doubles' for each additional million, roughly.
It is not really a good deal (I assume you also see that). You cannot buy a house for it. You just that have a stable situation and then someone...
I understand you reasoning, but do not expect IB to have any extra risk 'pot'. They will just comply with the regulations just like any other...
I fully agree. If it to reduce risk, change the margin requirements. With the auto close option of positions at IB, the risks should be very...
This is totally new and a fee that will be introduced as per the end of next week. One more remark on it. IB suggest that you can add money to...
You might like the extra fee. I do not. It is calculated very arbitrary. the 30% is just a guess and they can change it tomorrow. The...
