yeah because we need nanny brokers that stop us from using our money the way we want when they think it's not in our best interest. Give me a fucking break. IB will liquidate your position the instant it breaks margin requirements. What does it matter if it's $10k or $1 margin? opm8
will they liquidate your positions even before the end of the trading day before they know what your closing equity percentage is??
lol. That's funny. IB is ruthless in this regard; they'll liquidate you on the tick that causes you to go underwater on your margin.

You assume markets provide infinite liquidity at all times. They don't. Any broker with too many traders making gigantic unhedged short put bets puts their entire existence at risk in the event of a rapid, gigantic gap down. I'm happy IB made the lunatics realize they shoulder rather leave and endanger other brokers. Every little rat that leaves IB makes the ship more sturdy against severe storms.
