    IBKR options margins

    I had the same thing happen many years ago when they tagged Alibaba as "risky". In the middle of the day, they set that symbol to 2.5X base margin. When I called and asked why they also did that to a long vertical spread, they told me that is how their systems works.

    Agent- they send your order out as your agent for execution. The alternative is principle. That means you traded with your broker as the counterparty.

    What it means when your brokers show all stock " HARD TO BORROW"

    IMO, in answer to that question, I would say Lightspeed Trader is the one I would choose for fast order entry, hotkeys and hot buttons. It also costs the least as we offset the cost with commissions on just that software. I would only choose Realtick if I "NEED" tick charts and conditional orders.

    Price improvements

    You're getting price improvement, not because someone wants to give you a gift of a lower price but to internalize your order and step in front of a public order at the full price. They will do what they have to to make the sale.
