what the heck? I tried to buy 1 NQ and it said I need $28K+ in one of my IRA acct at IB! IB IRA margins are ridiculous! Did they just raised the margins overnight? The RTH margins are probably lower. Now that I know how to trade and make consistent money, I think I should look at a broker with a lower margins.

Caixin worst on record, second death in US, and now a case in NYC. Take 'er down another 3-4% tomorrow.
