I actually asked them that and they said even if it was say a short 40 put and a long 41 put ON THE SAME MONTH, then because FOPs do not have equity with loan value, then they do not count toward margin requirements. So if the short option became ITM an extra 2k and the long option increased in...

IB call centers closed... Why did IB liquidate my account? I had a net liquidation value above the maintenance margin! I had a calendar spread where both options were increasing in value and then out of nowhere they buy back the front month short options at a huge loss...WTF!?!? I'm assuming...
