    best way to backtest option strategies?

    Sorry to burst your bubble: if you have to ask this then you are unlikely ready to trade.

    Largest Military Recall Since 1941?

    No need for a war. Just cut off all support for the US and the US will crumble from within. US cannot survive without the rest of the world. May happen by default when the US dollar becomes junk....

    Interactivebrokers & Citibank

    nah, still two other options: 1) ring up Lloyds and ask what it will cost you to insure your account against IB going under , will give you a good idea what they think about them and 2) you are only worried if you know that you cannot trade it together again.
