IB Margin Call Question

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by mrchuffster, Apr 18, 2009.

  1. Hi,

    I have an account with IB that I don't use anymore, its a Reg T account, and decided to withdraw funds last week (GBP). Bringing the balance close to zero.

    I have no open positions at all, yet I get a margin call on friday telling me they have liquidated my positions and sold £4950 GBP.

    My account is now -£4950. Can anyone tell me why this has happened and what I can do about it? Is this a mistake considering I have no positions open?

    Thanks in Advance.
