In order to calculate the rate, can you please post the execution date, the execution price, the width of the box and the expiration date? TIA. BTW, mid price implies 1.09% interest for $200k / May.

When filled at the bid price shown in the picture 1977.52, this order implies a 6% interest rate for the $200k box, while when filled at the 1995.22 limit you get a more decent 1.24% interest rate but still almost twice the 3 month t-bill rate. Are there any real chances to actually get a fill...

You are right, it is "Buy order price = Midpoint of the Bid/Ask price - offset amount" indeed. But still doesn't make much sense.

Wondering if anyone has been using Snap to Midpoint Orders with Interactive Brokers https://www.interactivebrokers.ca/en/index.php?f=5934 and maybe they can share their experiences. This is the example: So, basically an IBM buy order, "SNAP MID" with 0.01 offset. With bid = 190.32 ans ask =...

Type the name of the futures contract (ex: ES) and hit <enter>. You will get a list with similar instruments. When you select "futures", you have 6 options. First 3 are "ES MAR", "ES JUN", "ES SEP" and more. At the end of the list you have "Futures Spreads". Use that one.

Just to update you guys. I have placed my order as zero dollar combo order on Jan 31 and I got a fill today. Thank you for your wisdom MrMuppet.

Got it about rolling the position forward. My bad. About "fretting over a tic-or-two", 10 contracts would cost me $500 plus commission for a $1 fill. I am pretty sure that independent sell / buy orders would have slippage as well. But like I said, I am doing this for the first time and I could...

I am supposed to keep some ES contracts a bit longer and I will probably have to roll them forward, from Mar to Jun. I can do a combo order, sell Mar and buy June, at once. I can see the price for the combo -.50 / .75 (bid / ask), and changing one or two ticks. Looking for some input from...

Interesting details on a Canadian forum http://forums.redflagdeals.com/beware-interactive-brokers-margin-call-rrsp-2254541/ The position was liquidated at minimum of the day. I am curious how legal can this be.

The discussion is about "cash" account, not margin account.

I was reading through some of the they legal disclosures documents and when they refer to "cash balance" they never specify currency. I would read this that any currency cash balance is "cash balance" and they should use that to cover fees, before liquidating positions.

Wondering if anyone can share some more information regarding Interactive Brokers' Automatic Liquidation policy, especially how does it work for cash / registered / non-taxable. Here is the formal disclosure document https://www.interactivebrokers.ca/php/legalDocuments/AutoLiq.pdf Since for...

The return is really tiny. I have aprox. quarter of a mil portfolio, loaned out about 40-60% time & value. I got about $35 last year, same the year before. Less than a single malt whiskey bottle :finger:

What makes you believe that?

Got this message a couple of days ago ... but it does not seem to be true as no one is listing such dividend. Does this happen often?

Thank you Sig. How wide would you go today? Like 2100 / 4100?

Thanks. Please keep us updated.

Were you able to capture the federal funds rate? More? Less?

Or in plain English: stock + put = bond + call Wondering if this really works in real life trading. Anyone doing it? What's the best way to implement it? TIA.

Thank you for the link but is does not support you statement nor is related to the discussed topic.
