  1. Lots of big trades from Timber Hill.

    I have noticed them today, I don't usually see them this active :)

    They are probably auto-liquidating their clients. I have had it happen several times to me. It's a good risk management safety net, so i don't mind :)
     
  3. Where can you see that data? Is Timber Hill the buyer when IB liquidates?
     
  4. Sir, you have a call on line one, he says his name is margin.

    Div_Arb,

    Were you under Reg T or Portfolio Margin when they reduced your risk for you?
