It has to be a unpopular certain segment that can be gotten around. Why would you 1: get portfolio margin, 2: reduce margin req on indices if you’re going to make people hold for 30 days. there has to be more to the story

I spoke to them today. No public list. Requires a case by case inquiry.

What?? TD doesn’t margin Ishare ETFs for 30 Days?

Fido does a great job can’t argue there. Leaves a ton to be desired in the active space but they get the order done no doubt.

Co-signed. I wonder jsut on curiosity if you need to jump on the phone to get any real size done.

Also I only needed about 25% of net liquidity to execute this but that’s obviously variable depending on the beta of the basket.

An update if anyone following: this morning I traded a random diversified basket of 7 names on paper trade with PM. I left about 50% net liquidity available on the portfolio because single names offer no PnL relief for PM margin I got short requisite amount of SPY delta (2x ATM Puts Feb) on...

what I’m essentially trying to do is get long a name, and for risk management have a backdoor way to stop it out. Thought some synthetics on the spy for instance may offer that when done on beta FYI They definitely watch, I held a single name once for less than the holding period and I got an...

Anyone who is held to holding periods understands this issue. I have to hold any position for 30 days except broad indices, etfs on the list, options on said indices, also allowed is spot currency. Futures absolutely not permitted. If you trade an option on a single name it needs to pre clear...

It crossed my mind. So if you want true cross margin, you need to drop 500k (realistically larger I’m sure) with a prime broker - not to mention incorporate as a trading business I would imagine - and lastly find somewhere that would take the arrangement. On the bright side with a prime broker...

Better than Reg T but certainly leaves something to be desired. Time to treat sophisticated investors like adults.

That’s annoying to a certain degree. If you want to maintain a long book and periodically short against it you should get a certain degree of relief. I am surprised to see that only indices can carry partial relief to each other.

Long story short, does PM free up margin for beta Hedging? Not getting the impression that it does.

@.sigma question... does portfolio margin give you any margin relief for beta hedging a portfolio with the requisite amount of an delta position on an index ... ie portfolio beta is 315 delta to spx therefore I opened a ticket to paper trade 7 atm 19 Jan SPC puts and I had full cash outlay as...

Remember when we met Bobby over the summer, he had a stock and showed his risk model on TD and had like 8 puts strikes decorated on his model like a god damn Christmas tree

The type of people who shit on posters like Dest are the same type of people who sign up for a Timothy Sykes trading course

Someone been keeping notes. Nice post

Good morning; I’m allowed to use a limited set so I wanted to get feedback; TD Think or Swim seems to be the obvious favorite but thought I’d ask on E Trade. ETrade has a 25k lower requirement for portfolio margin as well anyone have any major reasons why ETrade would not deliver high...

She sounds like she may not be the sharpest tool in the shed.

recent regulatory filing suggests that Resolute Investment Managers—ARK funds’ U.S. distributor—plans to take control of the company early next year. It turns out that when Resolute acquired a minority stake in ARK in 2016, the deal also included an option that allows Resolute to purchase a...
