Have you ever been threatened by Interactive Brokers ? Yes, we did

Hitman would never insult Americans!

 

intellectually superior in every aspect?

Let's pot it simply. You have been trying to make believe the whole World that you would like to stop the Middle East conflict and you have been supporting Israel for 50 years? You have even supported the Talebans before they crashed on you. And what: you are intellectually superior in every aspect? It is simply ridiculous

 

...because Americans are UNTOUCHABLE.... they have the military power, do they

 

Telling you to close your position is called a margin call. Nothing personal, just business. They have no obligation to let you wait for it to turn into a profit. Your account agreement with IB states that explicitly. You got away with this in the past. You should count yourself lucky, but just because you were lucky in the past doesn't mean that IB is abusing its rights by telling you to close your position. They could have autoliquidated and locked your account without telling you in advance and they would have been within their rights.

This isn't about being nationalisic about brokers it is about managing risk. IB has a responsibility to its other clients to close out your position so that you or some rogue trader doesn't take them down with excessive positions.

 

Mikey, you keep saying you're going to leave but I still smell your cheese-stink. What gives?

 

BF,

Quite true! A valid point.

I wonder if mike-claire even knows who Hitman is...

 

Sorry Mike,

Tripack is right

 

bronks,

Well put. However, I do not feel that we should put down all French just because one of them can't trade. Think of it this way. Every time mike-claire loses a trade, its because I took his money!

 

OK, I am going to bed now. It is late here in Europe.

Sleep tight

 

BullFighter,

you take nothing, stupid bull. You do not even know the French market. Stop it if you do not know what you are talking about
