After closing futures position and despite just having cash and some bought calls, I've realized that there's in my account, some current initial margin that it shouldn't be because I don't have any position that requires margin. So, I'm communicating with support to set it right.

Already done, waiting for support, but I wanted to know if other experiences are differents, reasons...etc

I trade often the micro-future MES which has a margin requirement, generally less than $1000; this is in IBUK. I've just checked my account, which was moved from IBUK to IBIE, and I'm seeing that more than $3000 for just 1 MES contract. This doesn't make sense at all, when all are the same...

Yes, you're right. I wrote it fast not thinking carefully about the right financial vocabulary. Besides that, do you have an opinion about what KCalhoun affirms?

While the Fed's balance sheet continues expanding ( You can watch it as the FARBAST index in a bloomberg terminal ) , any correction will last little, however, 3%-7% suddenly corrections might occur. Since 2009, Market cycles have been broken cause the FED, this is the new normal.....so far

One last thing that always works is sending them a Ticker, that private messaging system, hopefully it's not a matter of urgency

I'm just another trader, not a programmer, with some experience developing Algos in Ninjatrader. Despite not being the same platform, here there's some procedure in C# that perhaps may inspire some idea. The basic idea is this: foreach (var instrument in BarsArray) {...

A little bit contradictory according to your nickname, hehehe. Now, seriously, with the FED's liquidity tsunami going on, I believe the big guys know that the logic path is up, but yesterday was a day used to "shake the flees" of this rally. It's possible that the market in the short-term is...

Good call. Still, I believe today is a day to buy looking to sell into Monday bounce. It seems a long shot cause the weekend but technically is possible

Surprisingly markets have come out of the halt like 30 mins ago

They shouldn't do that stupid idea. It would create more havoc for sure. At this moment futures are in halt....going up, once again, squizo markets!

In the beginning, the Coronavirus had a surprisingly temporary effect, after that, even the stock market made new all-time highs as the disease never existed. The problem apparently was when the crisis in China became more serious until the point to disrupt seriously the chain-supply of this...

As long as the FED keeps pumping money into the system, I highly doubt of any long correction. In the past, bubbles always pop cause money come from the private sector. Is this time the same? Whilst QE is alive, markets will continue to show up persistence.

For me it's simple. If your objective is a short-term thing, then buy the option cause you're already setting a stoploss for the position. And of course the contrary if your goal is long-term

Not stopped out, a chain of: Long-Sold-Short-Cover-Long.......

Both, as a perpetual reversing.

I've often seen, backtesting several models, that it's always more profitable a Strategy or Model that always has a position than others that includes Flat positions. Intuitively, it seems a Flat position might be better as a defense mechanism, but the statistic evidence shows otherwise.

As long as World's central banks keep expanding liquidity, the bull will be dominating the markets, only some world wide surprising negative disrupting reason would be able to create a correction as you call, liquidity is the fuel and they keep pumping it. It seems the debt bubble will keep...

Seeing markets in all-time highs is a logical consequence to the world's central banks expanding liquidity like there was no tomorrow. But there are other weird things happening to the Gold and cash, they seem to disappear. All this abnormal behavior keeps me thinking about causes.

Developing an edge for a full automated trading Algo took me several years and in spite of an acceptable statistical consistency, I continue to get it better, cause there are many market quick and aggressive situations that makes hard to take good decisions.
