  2. I don't know about IB, but from a programmer's perspective this is easy to implement.
    I think long ago I saw a public web tool that was using IBs formulas for margin calcs. I think it was just for Reg T. Sorry, don't have a link anymore.

    Reg-T is straight-forward. Portfolio Margin is impossible because they don't tell you how they come up with their margin requirements. They only very loosely describe qualitatively how it works. But not enough to reverse engineer their algo.

    Sorry, I didn't actually specify PM in my original post. I should have mentioned that.
