Yeah absolutely retarded way of running a margin system. IB seriously needs to get its act together and stop it with this nonsense. They obviously dislike something about options, counterparties, and the potential one couldn't close out the option I guess. The way they're handling things is...

To be fair to Autodidact (amusing seeing as its a one way street), I merely said *one possibility* was a double top. I'm slightly surprised myself to see it having played out fairly straightforward which is almost unheard of in ES.

Top-notch post mate.

BTW: Did you guys see that move in the Bund today? Just shy of a month of rallying slayed in a single session:

Best site (IMO, hands down) for econ events (albeit, not every single extremely minor one is listed) is http://www.forexfactory.com - including the past history charts and descriptions of what a particular piece of news is about and what it means. Well designed and intuitive calendar.

Wonder how much of this is tied to low liquidity combined with pro rata order size games where traders size up larger than they want to be to actually get filled due to pro rata rules.

CADUSD pretty heavily. http://www.mrci.com/special/corr180.php
