Take a look at CLG22 or CLH22 and let me know what margin rate you get with your way?

One thing Biden did badly is his political confrontational style. He could have invited some energy company executives, like from Exxon, Chevron, Shell, Hess, Occidental etc. to White House. Also maybe some energy analysts too. Then Biden could have politely asked them to help to bring down...

You can just set a dummy trade (do not submit), then right click "check margin impact".

I figured this out. Just check margin impact on the new trade. The front and back margins are different. IB only displays the front contract margins at website.

I can only see the margins for each symbols. Just wonder if IB has different margins for the front and back contracts. Say the first two and the 6th or 12th contracts.

Pls stay to the topics....

It seems like CL likes to climb up to $80 again.

Yes. But the total SPR release globally is only 50 MM BBL. This is only one day global oil consumption. One drop oil into the sand. China has been drawing down its own SPR for sometime. So it does not even have much more to draw. If OPEC+ stops to raise more oil output, when will those...

On the news release, CL price jumps $1.86 to $78.65. This is like a slap on the face of his announcement. The total SPR release is 35+15=50MM. The US daily oil consumption is about 18MM per day. So the total SPR release is less than 3 days of US oil consumption. The bigger question is when...

OP received so much expert advice!

Just do not.

you brought up a dead thread.... sadly.

So I guess you are "paying" for margin interest? I thought you want high margin amount or high BP. For low margin interest, you need to go with the real discount brokers for high volume traders. The largest "discount" brokers are actually more like mainstream brokers. They are for general...

Our President is so desperate now after seeing his approval rating plummet.... I remember Biden saying: OPEC+ do not pump more oil and Americans have to pay high gas price. This is not RIGHT. The largest US energy companies are making billions of $$$ and pay high dividends and buy back...

Several things traders need to remember. 1. do not fight the market, period. 2. know your holding horizon. Nowadays, most traders trade for short-term, same day or swing trade for several days. 3. know where your P/L stop loss is. Super important. If you set 15% stop loss, place a hard stop...

Not sure what you meant for "paying too much". Margins and commission are two different things.

Ignored.

Unfortunately option market is not an efficient way to move the market. The bid/ask spread is so wide. Most of the volumes come from the outright market.

You do not have to agree with me. We move on.... End of it. No point to continue so many times to prove who is right or wrong. I do not even want to read what you said... Peace with you.

Not really. Short selling serves a purpose. It makes the market more efficient. But clearly the market is not efficient. Particularly during dot com bubble #1 and now. But again, do not fight the market. Do not be a hero and get burnt. If some traders get burnt by TSLA before it drops...
