IB is increasing margin requirement by small amounts everyday,now they dont send you an e mail or there is no pop up message. Does anybody know when they will be finished. I have stopped trading till I know what will be the requirement for every trade Does anybody know? Thanks
We did not make increases since November 15. This is fixed now on 14.5% and the whole issue is under consideration.
why get angry ? get even... just deposit the exchange overnight margin requirement, and nobody can touch you !
Easy tiger. 90% of my stuff is short vol so it would be duplicitous to attack vol sellers. While i appreciate the attention you've given to my trading, blowing off all that steam, you seem to have missed my point about leverage.
you are real slick in spinning that i have an agenda regarding your trading and it is more than fleeting concern. i have no steam to blow off as i did very well this year and always behave account wise in a defensive manner. we all have our perceived edges. your point about leverage is of course well placed; and per a previous post of mine, i also see tightening margin (on topic) as a good thing. you just come off as just a little condescending now and then. i am sure you agree.
My available funds and margin requirement now is back to normal levels - before IB started this incremrntal schedule. Anybody knows what is happening . There are no comments from IB as well. Thanks
