35% WM is a 100% of course.

i'm not claiming anything, it's a fact. here is what's on one actual account. you can see size,rating,etc. notice buying power. i also don't understand, why those bonds are in stock column(market value row) and why unrealized PnL is just a sum of them. IB is saying that they change this during...

here is another angle-

ok..go head and try that,before you suggest( use RFQ on bonds)

i'm not sure,why it's so obvious..why i can't place sell order at my price and just sit and wait for buyer to come? is it a must for used car dealership to have buyers in place, and only then they can show them the price of the car? or they can post the prices in newspaper and wait for buyers to...

incorporate :) but this is disturbing- so-if i have $500 in some bank outside of US-i'm guilty..use to be 10K and above

in a product section -there is 10511 bonds listed in valuebond exchange(the biggest one) and there is 11325 bonds listed on special margin bond page. so-it would be safe to say that there is ALL bonds are on this "special margin" list,where 100% INITIAL margin rate is applied to ALL new or...

Jack-if you click on that margin page and then-go to bonds, you will see, there is link for "special margin requirements". ALL corp bonds are in it. regardless to rating,liquidity,size,exchange etc.. and once again- i did not understand, why IB is applying INITIAL MARGIN to existing, old...

100% agree. as you can see on my screen shoot -it is a good account,with 40K on it. But because all 40K are in the bonds -i can't borow from IB. in the end we both loose-i can't trade, IB is also loosing comissions from me and interest, that they can charge on borrowed funds. i really don't...

according to latest info on this issue from IB-they did applied some changes back in august of 2008 regarding those corp bonds. basically according to those "new rules" pretty much ALL corporate bonds are not marginable anymore. that is-you cannot borrow a dime against ANY long bond...

not even a single word on tv about it. but..i learn a lot about anal cancer yesterday, right on the middle of the dinner

wtf? why not 100%? it's a nice round number :p

JackR-thank you for info. i did take a look on this report,but there is nothing new. maintenance margin is 35% on all those bonds. once again-i did not understand,why IB applying initial margin to old, open positions, that i'm holding for years? i did talk to them few times, not once- they...

they don't. maintenance margin depends on rating and it's on IB's page. once again-for some "reason" IB applying INITIAL MARGIN on existing positions instead of maintenance margin. and it only applies to bonds.

OldTrader-it wasn't like this before and i don't believe that ALL bonds on my accounts are not marginable. i have several accounts and over 100 bond positions on them. they all looks like this. before IB start messing with margin it use to be very simple(i'm with IB for almost a decade and...

here is another problem with IB i'm having for months(on top of incorrect sizes,slow charts and buggy TWS)- take a look at screenshot. total value of account is 47K. 44K are corp bonds, most of them AA-A1 rated. all investment grade. any one see a problem? i talk with IB CS few times-they...

3k i paid.. and it's working fine, just like new

i agree, it's wrong..but for 2002 it isn't a best shit..best shit back then is plasma..but.. the cost was like x2 more than DLP. and i'm sure you know about average bulb life when you bought it. it's a part of the deal.that's why the price of DLP is much lower than plasma for example. can car...
