Well, I may end up switching to Lightspeed if IBKR continues to treat me the way they are treating me. IBKR uses GFIS for data, are you saying I should submit a copy of the form to GFIS? or better send it directly to IBKR?

Thank you Robert, this is very helpful. I was planning in fact to contact the exchanges and see if they could help with my case. One question, since you seem more familiar than me with this, on the form it says: "Subscribers who qualify as Non-Professionals should sign below and return this...

Good morning Robert, my issue is with US Futures data (including US Futures options)

Well, just to be clear: the account I am talking about was opened as a Individual, Non Professional account, in my personal name, AFTER I closed the fund account, which was in fact an LLC. I had no more relationship whatsoever with that Professional Account. I find it ridiculous that just...

Good morning to everyone, I am writing to see if any of you has encountered a similar problem as mine with Interactive Brokers and what the solution could be. I have been a Professional Investor until 2 years ago, I was registered with the NFA, but my fund did not launch and so we closed down...

Thank you guys.

Hello, this may have been asked before but I was not able to find a similar thread in the forum. I am looking for an "app" or script that downloads stocks and futures option prices via API from IB TWS into a .csv file or into Excel. I just need a "snapshot" at a precise time of the day, e.g...

thanks ffs1001, when you say "enormous liquidity" do you mean through Bid/Ask refills? because units posted ATM or around there are usually 20 to 100...

Hi everybody, I am working with an Options Vertical Spread strategy that requires holding positions until expiry. There is a risk that at Fixing/Close time the price of the underlying falls between the two strikes, example: BearCALL 3400 SHORT 3405 LONG Fixing at expiry = 3402 In this...

Anyway, I have been thinking about this and I think what Interactive Brokers is correct and it does address a potential issue with Vertical Spreads: if the Fixing/Closing price falls between the Strikes, only one leg is assigned and it is not covered/offset by the assignment of the other leg...

@stochastix when you say: "you can reduce your margin requirements by buying out of the money calls" do you mean something like a temporary purchase? just to cover the expiry time window and satisfy IB's margin requirement an avoid forced liquidation? and then sell them back? @Option_Attack...

Hi guys, I am new to the forum and I was not sure where to post this question, if here, or in the Brokers forum or in the Options Forum or in the Interactive Brokers forum... I hope here is OK but feel free to re-direct me if I posted in the wrong place. I have an issue with an...
