I have been using a delta-neutral strategy for a while . It has been extremely consistent but not very profitable. My net returns are around 4% p.a. I am now quite confident borrowing to improve the economics, but care to understand the terms in full prior to doing so. I asked the IB helpdesk for detailed terms, etc....they have not shared much. I do not want to be caught off guard with a margin call. Any experience or advice regarding this matter?
IB auto liquidates as far as I know, so I think the answer is yes. But only if you violate margin, so... if you are saying you can't lose at all, then you have a problem.
No one can not loose at all. Have not been exposed to seriois macro shocks yet? What is the best way to risk manage a mrgin. Does IB provide any tools?
