IB Margin increases....

Margins tied to VIX, it seems.

 

I want a list of how many dweebs have blown up


Since they never admit it

 

Not many since many have been forced to move to the E-Micro contracts. Much less risk (1/10th).

 

lol, not really

they still prob max out margin. its all relative

 

You tend to trade more conservatively with the Micros.....as the commissions and exchange fees are higher than the standard Eminis. Have you tried them yet ? Prices are very close to the Eminis.

 

I dont buy it, in fact you probably let it go further against you since the net loss is less

No way, Margin 2k is too low .Blow up coming

 

Baloney. It's practically impossible to "blow-up" with the E-Micro's....when you trade the same number of contracts as you would have with the E-mini's.

 

IB is at 22,000 initial margin for YM. Infuriating to say the least.

OK;
but its like- brokers don't want , no money down house flips= forclosure rates way to high that way...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...

 

Man, IB you need to lower your margin requirement. Yours is the highest of everyone out there.
