IB increases Over night Initial margin for ES

It was around 6800 some days back now it is 7318.15
Not sure why they keep on increasing this lol. Most other brokers charge less.

 

Gotta' love it. Here's the required margin as per CME.

Add 10% for initial as a retailer.

 

Can't believe people deal with IBs BS.

 

Can't believe which other broker than IB people on the retail side would be dealing with as alternative.

 

Yeah, which broker on the retail side is better than IB? For world-wide access...

Anyway on topic... maybe something is brewing in the volatility soup!

 

Not sure....Don't need worldwide, cme is enough for me.

 

Nuff said

 

Why is that?

 

Then why are you bitching about IB. You should compare apples with apples. Compare some pure futures brokers/FCMs then who may not even develop their own frontends. Many of those clowns don't even clear themselves.

IB is playing in a completely different league.

 

What @Zzzz1 says...

You only do CME, I don't.... and therefore I'm with IB. And I don't need max leverage, since that's generally for gamblers that only have 5k in their account.
