    IB increases Over night Initial margin for ES

    Lies, lies and more lies. I've made exactly one post about IB. I simply explained their rationale for raising margins, listed the reasons why OTHERS dislike IB. Now, if you continue with this troll behavior, I'll also report it to Magna.

    IB increases Over night Initial margin for ES

    Opened an account with them in 1998. How much are you willing to wager on it? My bad, 18 years.

    IB increases Over night Initial margin for ES

    Personally, I never come close to using max leverage, however there are traders who might look up margin requirements on an intra-market spread, put in the order and find that it's some multiple of that margin. You can find numerous examples of their capricious margining, this isn't some sort...

    IB increases Over night Initial margin for ES

    Give us the entire rundown of all of their maintenance margins across the entire spectrum of asset classes. Then tell me it's 10% above the exchange mandated one. You seem like the perfect fade on every topic. What a tremendous commodity you are.

    A good deal of nostalgia looking at those old charts. Sorry to hear about the sad news.

    IB increases Over night Initial margin for ES

    It's pretty clear that "they know something"...i.e. this market "transitions" from a low vol to high vol environment in a day (or maybe two), just as this market has reversed sharp sell-offs (Brexit, Trump, Italy referendum) in hours to days. August 19-24, 2015 saw the greatest percentage...

    How about Tony Romo and dem Dallas Cowboys?

    Dak Prescott is the future, no reason to keep Romo around.

    Entry price to all of those assets is still important

    Surviving super low implied volatility markets (ES/FTSE)

    Just to clarify, are you putting on the BWB's all at once (and targeting a max debit of .40 cents)? I can understand that with the shorter duration, you are paying up for the closer to-the-money strike while your short strike won't bring in as much (or perhaps you are playing these a bit...

    Start the music forum...I'd enjoy that more than the Politics forum.

    Russell 2000

    Why not just trade the EMD (midcap 400) that is already on CME.

    Oh, Look! Here's Trump looking out for the little guy

    Derivatives grew during each Presidency, so let's cut the b.s. that this is somehow partisan.

    Oh, Look! Here's Trump looking out for the little guy

    In other words, it had BI-partisan support. If you'll agree that both the R's and the D's are/were in favor of the same Wall Street interests we can move on. Even BHO in 2008 talked tough on the topic and essentially did nothing to clean it up. There is no possibility of putting the genie...

    Oh, Look! Here's Trump looking out for the little guy

    I agree with you. It's an issue that doesn't have an (R) or a (D) in front of it as both sides are bought and paid for.

    Oh, Look! Here's Trump looking out for the little guy

    And I wont forget that Goldman and Morgan Stanley conveniently became depositor institutions during the height of the financial crises. In other words, FDIC had some potential problems going forward.

    Companies Engage In Orgy Of Virtue Signaling

    Exactly right. Piezoe loves to present himself as some "centrist", but it's nothing more than a ploy to make these "nuanced" but "verbose" arguments that are heavily biased. On occasion, he will show his "true colors" and drop the pretense.

    Companies Engage In Orgy Of Virtue Signaling

    In other words, you spent a hundred words contradicting your opening statement.

    Oh, Look! Here's Trump looking out for the little guy

    That's why Piezoe is an unabashed fraud. If he truly were a libertarian, he wouldn't put forth so much effort to ALWAYS place the blame on the Republicans. I've watched the video testimony of Greenspan, Rubin and Summers all conspiring to push Brooksley Born out and move forward with their...
