My agenda is for IB to focus more an avoiding liquidations. I am convinced that IB has more forced liquidations then any other broker an IB does nothing to reduce that(you better keep statistics on that). There is a lot of things IB can do to, if you are interasted I can post a few options or...

If an options is getting liquidated , and TH has a bid of 5.50 on the NYSE while GS has a bid for the same 5.50 on ARCA. Where will the order be routed to??

IBsoft please stop using half truths. 1.)While the system has the capability to use combinations/strategies, it sells every leg seprately not as a spread, creating bigger loss for the clients. That's a simple fact. 2.) Yes you may have circuit-breakers, but they almost never triger a humen...

Based on IB agreement TH would get the order as long as they "matched" the price, giving them a huge edge.

When you see IBsoft on the forum, you know you are getting some answers. But why does IB have a problem with truth? You say that it "designed" to produce profits, but would go on the record saying that timber hill is not profiting from this autoliquidation by buying options for distressed...

It seems you finnally starting to get the point here about the huge edge that TH has by being able to consistently buy option contracts (that’s the most profitable part of TH) at distresses prices when the seller is FORCED to sell for what ever bid is available, and TH only has to match the...

Agree with you 100%

What are you talking about? We are not taking about overflow, we are talking about having the ability to consistently buy option contracts (that’s the most profitable part of TH) at distresses prices. The seller is FORCED to sell for what ever bid is available. And TH only has to match the...

It all comes down to the same point. Every other broker takes the necessary steps to avoid liquidations and to make sure its only done when necessary, because they know that liquidation is bad for them as well as for the costumer. IB makes drastic margin changes more then any other broker, puts...

Then why was IB the only one to implant these changes? The market didn’t change by other brokers??

Sorry, but there is nothing consistent when they increase margin requirements with short notice like they did in September on the small cap stocks (from 25% to 100%). Yes they have the right to do that, (they have the right to change the margin requirements to 100% for ALL stock as well, with...

You hit the nail on the head. I don’t think they do anything they are not allowed to do under the agreement; the agreement gives them the max possible rights on the world, but I think they are probably taking advantage of their ignorant costumers, and as you can see they refuse to come...

So what did Infinity told you how does the liquidation process work? Can you elaborate?

I am glad you are agreeing mostly with the facts that stated (I’m still in middle of completing the rest of the facts). Now my concern is NOT that I was liquidated on a couple of spreads, the loss there was a negligible amount, my concern is that IB has a problem answring questuions straight...

Sice Def is not answering questions (he let's jackr answer for him) so let me answer question with some undisputed facts. 1. The fact is, that there is no manual review before an auto liquidation, so if there is a flash crash, $10 bid/ask spread, you are not protected. I think we can all agree...

Jack, you are an amazing guy... earlier when I asked Infinity clients about Infinty's liquidation policy, you said that I have a problem because I should have called infinity and find out. Now that I followed your advice and called infinity,you say "you don't know how I phrased the question to...

Def, I think IB costumers deserve to know if Timbar Hill has been profiting from these auto liquidations but you keep avoiding to answer... P.S if you are an IB costumer and want to know if Timbar Hill has been making profits on their clients back, post here to encourage "Def" to answer the...

Jack, I followed your advice and called up Infinity to check their liquidation policy, here is what they say. If you are in a margin deficiency you have time to take care until end of the day and they will not liquidate you. If you are in margin deficit overnight they may take action.

In order to manage RISK (and Timbar Hill making a nice profit..?) all orders are done separately.

As you can see Def is dodging the question, I think they should hire Herman Cain to answer this one….. But seriously Def, can you come clean on this one? I will repeat the question for a 6th time. --Would you go on the record stating the Timbar Hill has not been PROFITING from buying...
