Markus Heitkoetter sued the youtuber and as part of the defamation suit the youtuber got the judge to force Markus to send him the financial statements. (it's mentioned in the youtube video)

Did you continue your strategy in 2022 and how did it fare during the down market? What was your net PnL over the past 12 months as a percentage?

Is there a primer on the purpose of exchange seats and how they affect options commissions? I trade only equities and stock options - no futures, commodities, etc. My basic understanding is that you can lease a seat on CME for example and then send your info to Interactive Brokers to get your...

Is anyone familiar with a broker that offers Rithmic API and has a CFE gateway?

Hi, is there a way to create a custom report that would allow me to benchmark against a specific stock rather than in index? I tried searching for single stock names in the benchmark but it's not enabled so I'm wondering how this can be done.

If you have shares then why not? The equity issuance gives reason to an outsized move in Tesla share price

I don't think people that are directionally correct yet unprofitable are the intelligent traders. Probably closer to redditors like me a few months ago before I started learning about options - aka dumb retail.

Your thread title asks about liquidity to the economy but your post asks about how it helps the stock market. I think they're two separate issues - that is the fed can improve liquidity directly and indirectly in the economy. The fed has some direct (they own some special purpose vehicles or...

And IB just liquidated my call? WTF I still had excess margin. Post liquidation I sold my other tesla position at market instead of holding for max profit. edit: thinking about it - maybe they were afraid that I wouldn't sell the options before close and I don't have sufficient cash in my...

One TSLA long call with a market value of $7,229 has a margin maintenance of 80-90k - why does this happen and what can I do to fix it in the future? I used the "show margin impact". I'm trying to get an understanding of why this is happening as this isn't the first time. Anyone have any...

nijshar28 is the one trading stocks

What I did was talk to them live. They can see your account and I showed them to check the portfolio margin on some of my calls. They could see that the margin on the calls was too high and the margin on the sold calls was also wrong.

Unfortunately not - I finally got IB on livechat and they reviewed my account and confirmed that this is a bug. They've got the team reviewing the issue.

IB has a function where if you click advanced before you trade it tells you what the effect of the trade will be on your margin. Similarly, after you have the position you can check the margin change of closing the position. The long position is most definitely not 660 only. I've sent a message...

Right but I own those 220 BA calls so I make money when they're ITM.

Thanks. I don't hold any shares but I know that Reg T applies to equity options. I'm not sure how it works in my case. I discovered that if I sell naked calls, let's say for a 100 credit, I get 1k in maintenance margin returned to me. I'll illustrate why it seems like a bug: BUY BA 220 strike...

According to IBs website on how they calculate maintenance, call options have a maintenance margin that should be the same as the your cost. That makes sense since you can't lose more than you put in. However, when I actually purchase call options, the maintenance margin is 5x the cost basis. So...

I'm not holding cash covered puts, I'm holding spreads. Thanks on the second point.

Question about the mechanics of interactive brokers maintenance margin and excess liquidity End of day yesterday: I had 60k excess liquidity Today: my account shows under 9k excess liquidity Reason: maintenance margin on bullish credit spreads on Boeing (210/205 and 210/190) expiring June 12...
