Post Expiration Margin deficit

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by IBRex&me user, Oct 3, 2023.

  1. can fellow elite traders give suggestions to get out this post excess margin deficit while minimising losing ? l know its this naked 14830p. l had rolled it out from oct3 to oct6 thinking it would avoid this post expiry margin deficit, l tried to buy a put spread just above it 14860 14840p to lessen it, it did buy minimum. any suggestions other than buying it back outright?
    thanks!

    You'd have to buy a put under it the same tenor or later. IBKR will liquidate it at 3:45 today.
     
  3. %%
    DONT know exactly, i did look @ your position;
    NQ MAR is a 72% sell \QQQ is 24% buy[64% sell] ;
    TQQQ[8% buy rated by barchart.com ]+ TECL bottom fish did work so well so scale out.SH [less leverage] profits worked well .TQQQ did put in a good day yesterday
    Too many way to get goofed with leverage, even though TQQQ + TECL looks like a weekly bottom, but got burned too much with time stops only...........................................
     
  4. yes, had considered that, thing is the puts are so expensive, is this the most effective way? luckily l had some long stock, sold them, and it did bring my post expiry margin positive again, also l was significantly in cash debit, even though net liq was positive to almost same amount as the -ve debit. because of this -ve debit l was paying interest to ib everyday :(, well not now.
