Which position? And why not just close the ITM options yourself instead of contacting IB?

Why?

Which position are you referring to? If you had the margin to cover $26,600 worth of SPY why did IB contact you in the first place?

You are getting Options mixed up with Futures. Equity Options are safe and you don't get wiped out with options. Futures are more riskier than equity options and the EURCHF black swan event you described doesn't happen often - maybe once in 10 years. Stick with Equity Options and you will be OK.

$10,000 to open account. $2,000 to trade.

Could also be a negative diff. when the market opens on Monday - SPY lower than $266.

IB was doing you a favor by warning you about your ITM option - they must have closed the position for you. Nothing absurd about preventing you from getting into this situation: Margin Call on an IB IRA account (Need Suggestions)

I assume: The 266.50 Call. Auto-exercise on Saturday - then IB will liquidate the shares on Monday due to lack of funds. The loss or profit will be the difference of $266.50 and the price SPY is sold for on Monday.

The markets might go down tomorrow. Futures don't look good even though AMZN had very good earnings. ES down 5. YM down 51. NQ up only 5.25.

Top 5 QQQ holdings. AAPL 11.64% AMZN 9.28% MSFT 9.21% GOOGL 9.11% FB 5.41% Obviously good earnings will boost the QQQ and NQ.

What color is your parachute is a good book for job hunters. #1 way to find employment is to go directly to the company and know what position you want. Worst way to find employment is to answer an ad in the paper ( I assume that could be updated to craigslist).

Could Have, Should Have, Would Have We all can relate to those missed opportunities.

FB at 160 now. FB $170+ after earnings

Any from the 1980's?

No .... that will be factored in the next day.

They are going to be a penny stock soon.

Who cares about Zacks? I go by when the market reacts - and it is 4:01 PM EST in most cases.

1 minute after market closes in most cases. One exception I know of is AAPL. The market reacts so fast after close it might even be less than a minute. Before market earnings is rare, especially for tech.

And the date of the thread is 420+1. 420 = pot smokers. +1 = like. The OP likes pot smokers.
