Why the hell you are expecting to withdraw >$2X? You have $X million in various stocks, no cash. The most you can withdraw is $X, that is to liquidate all your position and withdraw everything. If you withdraw $0.8X without liquidating, what is remaining would be $0.2X controlling $X position...

you can withdraw an amount equal to "equity with loan value" minus "initial margin".

TWS shows min order size in the level 2 quote, why do you cut that out?

Minimum activity fee is waived and free US market data so targeting people with <USD100k

Rather than a bloomberg terminal what other softwares are available that provide information such as future fair value, richness, dividend analysis and global companies info?

You can do some programming and Monte Carlo it. Don't even need the equation.

Basically you are saying the market markers' models are wrong and yours is right. If you want to get paid taking risk go long that stupid ES instead, or long some other options with higher delta and longer duration.

If they are that patriotic China wouldn't need to restrict capital outflow.

put call parity just means you can construct a call with a put and underlying and vice versa, it doesn't mean risk and carrying cost does not need to be priced in. Kind of silly to say put call parity does not hold if an option is priced differently because of the dividend.

ex sit and go pro here Well, playing poker makes you question more about your edge. What is your goddamn edge? Besides that it is easier for you to swallow the swings. I had -50k swings last year and this year. ICM models and game theory is not very useful for trading, perhaps I just don't know...

IB have a fx swap program but you have to make a minimum bet of 10MM to enroll in it. https://ibkr.info/article/2815

My main issue is this. Do I really need to comb through the statement and sum up the margin, and leave enough cash so that IB don't charge me interest?

I am with IB HK. For each future contract there is a margin requirement. Questions: Is this margin requirement need to be in cash or is it just an increase in the account initial/maintenance margin? For example if I have 100k ELV but 0 cash, will I be charged interest due to the margin...

Imagine the US leaking the same info on the officials in China, like whose sons and daughters are studying abroad in the UK or US, with address and photos. That would mean war.

I suppose this is elite trader, not elite socialist, it is not even me who is jerking off index levels in the first place. And gtfo of with your insults and presumption, I am not even an American.

Yet The almighty CSI index 100/200/300 are still far below their all time high, especially the 100 which has not yet recovered from the 2008 crash. The Chinese indexes deliver poor return as their central bank interest rate and inflation is far above that of the US.

Inflation is mostly due to skyrocketing real estate price, you can't really blame it on wages as people bid up the rent themselves. You can blame why the good jobs are clustered in a small area.

The catch is: Their debit-credit spread is quite wide from the trader perspective, (other retails just rip you off more) They make a lot of money in this. Market data fee and monthly activity fee. I think this is the best deal for most retail though.

You can see how SPX is calculated in the wiki Read the whole page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500_Index#Calculation

Well you just insulted a whole profession without being a software guy yourself. Just like the people who praise the dev for a piece of sw that works fine but blame QA when shit happens.
