I took on margin loan as an Interactive Brokes client. If "Current available funds" is zero but there are ample cushion on "current excess liquidity", will I get margin liquidation? Is "current excess liquidity" the only field I need to watch to check the risk of margin liquidation? Are there anything else to watch? Thanks.
In TWS, those fields will blink yellow first as a warning (no liquidation even if they do that), then red which means liquidation is imminent.
In TWS is a field called SMA (Special Memorandum Account). If that has a negative value near the end of the trading day will IB start to liquidate positions.
