I have been getting these periodically and just got another one overnight. My account had one mutual fund holding and the balance in cash. No other positions. Is this a widespread problem or am I one of the few, the proud, the margin called? Math seems to be a real challenge for IBKR, as...

Yep. Here's my favorite quick glance calendar for significant events: https://www.forexfactory.com/ AM.

Should have stuck with my original short conviction on that one. I took a sizeable (stop) loss on that Friday post-RTH drop. Fortunately, I had bought SPY 415 calls that I wasn't able to bail out of and they brought me back to basically break-even. I legged into spreads by selling the...

Flipped long at 36.75

I shorted this morning prior to RTH at 40, closed out at 26.5. Wanted to go long late, but failed to pull the trigger and missed that end of day missile. Short again at 42.5 now. AM.

Bailed at b/e essentially. Dull market.

S 04. Keep missing my entries. Will exit if we break 10. AM.

Missed my sell limit order by 1 tick. Sometimes I swear "they" watch my screen o_O AM.

Going to try fading this at 9.5. Sadly, I tried to put in a buy at 81 just before the GDP release. For some reason, IB TWS wouldn't do anything when I hit submit. By the time I re-booted TWS, it was too late. Argghhhhh! AM.

Nice! I'll buy 82 again with a tight stop - unless it takes too long.... gotta get out on the bike since no time later today. AM.

Out at 90 for +8. Probably too early, but... AM.

Me too... long at 82. Tried long at 92, went against me, luckily got out at 93 on a fleeting bounce! AM.

Out 94.50. Time to go watch the air show over my house. AM.

Try again long at 85... AM.

Stopped out at 91. She and I had irreconcilable differences about market direction. :) AM.

Long at 96. Was hoping for 93, but was afraid the train might leave the station without me. AM.

Got caught badly on that one and rode it down way too far. Since I was already down, I decided to try riding it out. Fortunately, I just got out at 64 to break even. No need to get greedy. AM.

Went long at 4163.75, so a bit upside down. Managed to scalp out about 20 long points yesterday, which was pretty good considering it was mostly a downtrending day. GLTA, AM.

Flipped long at 23. There's just no selling pressure at the moment. Could grind higher. AM.
