IB used to revert to overnight margins on the Globex futures at 3:45pm ET. Last 2 days that hasn't happend - is this something new or a glitch related to the daylight time changeover?
It was done because our clients asked for it. It was supposed to be mentioned in the communique, but we might have forgotten to do that.
yup... big thanks to IB for being the best!! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=916539&highlight=kicking#post916539
I have an account at IB and just opened a new account at another firm to initiate an ES day trading strategy due to IB's high intraday margin requirements (1/2 the overnight).
