Do the margin allowances by IB give one enough rope to swing with, or enough rope to get hanged? So the car self-destructs past the speed limit, yet on the other hand, we are given the freedom to buy sports cars.

...I mean for the survivors.

I propose America be restructured as follows: 1. Cars be manufactured that the instant a person passes the speed limit, the car self-destructs. 2. The moment a pedestrian puts his foot into the street upon a red light, he should instantly be ran over. 3. If a person is found drinking...

Reply to Optioncoach: The size of the spread depends on the liquidaty of the options. Orders placed as spreads tend to get very close to between bid and ask (i.e. for the legs that have a middle increment between bid and ask*) IB is totally entitled to have leverage restrictions, and for...

People's input noted, a couple of good observations, several not-so-good points. All I know is IB said they would respond, and haven't yet. They are capable of responding in public or in private forum, and if/ when they issue a response that makes sense and is reasonable (even without...

That's "winners" whiners is a goal in itself, winners is the result of being proactive.

To Ellokn: ...If I may add, you were not the only one, who tried to join in the middle. Those who understand how it affects THEMSELVES, and those who understand the issues, have given support.

It takes a lot more time to not handle the issues, as it is with a lot of things in life. The points concern fellow Elite Traders, or there would not be over 6,000 views in just a few days. Answers were not yet provided in private or public forum. If IB can have the benefit of automating and...

BTW, does THIS constitute notice to ALL of your customers? Or each trader has a different cutoff date starting with my partner?

Maybe you can translate this into simple English with an example.

Until now IB had some sympathizers.

Are you going to make the change in real-time and liquidate the account?

Let me qualify, if you don't trade volume, that doesn't apply; and if you also trade simple, I am sure IB is more than suitable for your needs.
