IB's 4% Intraday Initial Margin Req. for Index Futures

Aug 19 2007 Low of the day 1399 (ES7UG) high 1471 !!!!! in a few minutes it zoomed up almost 60 pts..when the Fed made a pre-opening announcement...

 

Who in the hell are you? Do you work for IB?

 

Damnit is just a crybaby, anytime you have anything negative to say about IB he throws a hissy fit. Dont know why either, its pretty strange.

 

I was thinking of the troll factor after I posted that.

 

Ive never seen someone so attached to their broker before, its a little unheathly

 

although likely most reps not hanging around ET during w/e's, if by chance an IB folk is available and can provide us, concerned clients, with some guidance concerning index futures margins policy it'd be very helpful and very appreciated as i can organize for any eventual course of action ought to be taken early next week.


thanks again

 

Whatever you say boss. You're obviously a big time trader. We could tell right off.

 

Real mature, I didnt realize IB let 12 year old little boys open trading accounts

 

NQ margin's in late 90's were over 10k. Get used to "margin volatility"

 

LOL, I dont HAVE to do anything. You have an unhealthy relationship with your broker that someone else commented on. I've noticed this too and chimed in. Geez Mde2004, dont get so riled up, its bad for your blood pressure
