You are likely correct.

Selling the box wil create another margin requirement.

I'm not an expert on Reg-T. Most of my knowledge is of PMA. That said, this is my understanding, keeping in mind that not all securities are marginable and your clearing firm can be more restrictive. At the time of the trade, you have an Initial Margin Requirement 50% collateral or $5000...

Now you are confusing me. No. In this example, you short $5000 in stock. You have not used any of the $30,000 except your buying power is reduced. You have not paid for anything, In fact the short account (Type 3) there is a balance of $5000 (You sold stock you did not own) and your margin...

If you open a margin account with $30,000, we can set you at 1X and you can't use margin. when you sell short over night you may incur fees for the borrow of the shares. If you only DT, you only need a locate, not a borrow.

For accounts that custody at Wedbush (We introduce to IB too), on most of our DMA software, we offer both SMART and DMA for option spreads. Our SMART option orders and spreads go to an exchange, you just can't pick which one. We also offer DMA option spreads on Sterling Trader, Realtick and...

When you say," I don't wanna use any margin,", are you referring to borrowing money? You don't borrow money when you sell short, but you are using margin because you have to deliver stock you don't own. Who is your current broker?

You might need a bios update. It might be corrupted. There are a number of programs that are free that will sync your time on a regular basis.

I would think that if your primary trading is spread trading, you should consider TT (Web Based) Pro $400 monthly minimum +$.30 per contract (Monthly cap of $1800). As rolando87 said, the pro version includes the autospreader. We can offer both TT and CQG QTrader. Bob

CQG has many conditional orders, one of the is called Order-Places-Order (OPO). http://help.cqg.com/qtrader/#!Documents/ordertypessupported.htm A multiple leg Order-Places-Order (OPO). The first leg is an order with any regular order type (main leg). Once that leg is filled or partially filled...

I see it now, I did not scroll down to the bottom.

We can offer PMA for account in Hong Kong with custody at Wedbush Securities. On VIX products, we are more restrictive than the OCC. For risk, we shock -25%/+200%, loss no more than 1X your equity. But we do offer PMA with accounts starting at $175,000 USD.

victorycountry, IMO, you should not set out to do any particular spread, unless your focus is on credit spreads. You should examine each symbol, determine where you thing a stock will trade or not trade over a time period, then choose the best strategy given current options prices that best...
