    dest's vol-arb and modeling journal

    I think it would be interesting to have the ability to provide a journal or commentary on the market where the member can turn off all other members from comment. Maybe that ability should require approval from Baron.

    Interactive Brokers Requiring Full Margin For Vertical Spreads?

    I can't speak for them, but that is what I expect all brokers require. When you sell $10,000 credit spread for $10,000, the requirement is $10,000, but the account credit from selling fills that. If you sold the same spread for $9000, $9000 comes from the credit and $1000 from you for margin.

You can't use their value to trade and the CD is on...

    You need to separate a traditional Prop firm from the JBO type Prop firm. The Traditional prop firm hires traders of all types an makes an allocation toward that strategy. 100% of the risk is on the prop firm and their owners. The JBO type prop firm generally takes first loss deposits from its...
