    IB Margin Changes

    I know the answer but as you can see Def has a problem to admit it but he wouldn’t go on the record to deny it as well. By the way Timbar Hill does not have to be on top to get those liquidated shares at distressed prices. Based on the IB agreement Timbar Hill gets a preference, as long as...

    IB Margin Changes

    Yes, I would be much happier if Goldman got the shares, because that would take away the incentive for IB autoliquidate their clients account without at least a short notice, that would also put my interest and the brokers interest at the same page just like it is at any other broker. Right...

    IB Margin Changes

    Def, You keep avoiding answering the question. The question is (for the 5th time) If Timbar Hill has been profiting from these IB auto liquidations, yes or no? I know the answer and that explains a lot of things, but you have a problem admitting it.

    IB Margin Changes

    It makes a hack of a difference, that means there is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST when it comes to setting policy, on margin and auto liquidation. That would also explain why IB is auto liquidating instantly something “no other broker that I am aware of, does” (I called infinity and they say...

    IB Margin Changes

    Def, can you please answer the question... I have asked already the following question already 3 times for some reason it seems that you have a problem admitting that Timbar Hill does indded profit when clients are "forced" to sell at distressed prices (especially when it relates to option in a...

    Can What Happened to MF Happen to IB?

    You can feel safe with IB, they autoliquidates real time when there is a margin deficit, that's somehow makes them the safest broker in the U.S. (MF didn't have an autoliquidation policy...)

    IB Margin Changes

    Def, can you please answer the question... Would you go on the recard stating the Timbar Hill has not been PROFITING from buying options/futures from IB accounts that got liquidated on the bid price or distrased price (however you want to call it) and then selling it back in the marketplace...

    IB Margin Changes

    Corect me if I am wrong, but best means that positions are instantly being sold at the best "bid price" at that second. Bid and ask have bis spreads especially in volatile markets when those liquidations accur (options spreads can be as high as 20-30% when volatility is very high) . Since...

    IB Margin Changes

    Ids, would you go on the recard stating the Timbar Hill has not been profiting from buying options/futures from IB accounts that got liquidated, at distressed prices (bid price) and then selling it back in the marketplace? Hope you will have a straight forward answer.

    IB Margin Changes

    Definetly a gift to market mrakets, they buy everything from your account on a fire sale (you have to buy your shorts at the ask price, and sell your longs at the bid price). The combination of autoliquidation and IB's partnership/routing to timbar hill is proving to be a very effective...

    IB Margin Changes

    Here you go, 3d quarter results is in, as I expected. Timbar hill had its best quarter since 4th quarter of 2008 (lot of auto liquidations. ha?), Timar hills profit was 55% of all the profits in Q3. For me that's the smoking gun, our intrest & IB's are not the same IB makes record money when...

    The dangers of shorting

    Use any broker besides IB & you don't have that problem. By Ib liquidations are done by a computer with 1 minute (not 10 minutes you mentioned), other broker it is done by a human being & usually takes hours or a day. Also when a "person" looks on your postion, they will realize if there is a...
