This is huge. More opportunities for the skilled ones.
By the way this could lead to another crash. It might be years into the future, but it probably will come. If people only knew how not effective and overlooked banks risk policies toward large traders/hedge funds are, they would not be sleeping well. LTCM and Armanath showed it clearly. The bank will band their rules to accommodate large clients. Imagine 10-20 LTCMs happening at the same time joined by retail crowd with obscenely marinated positions.
If it does happen, I hope I will be capitalized enough to profit from it in a big way.

Crash? What are you smoking today?
This is about relaxing ridiculously out-dated margin on Retail Accounts...
Offshore hedge funds have never even been in the Regulatory Loop.
IB will be the last to adopt...Quote from just21:
IB said they were introducing portfolio margining in November. Unfortunately they did not specify a year!
The IB Religion teaches...
That you maximize growth by treating professional traders like irresponsible idiots...
But, imho, it severely limits their growth.
IB is still 1% the size of Merrill Lynch... and alway will be 1% the size of Merrill Lynch..

Youâll be surprised by how much retail traders/investors can swing the boat these days.
I mentioned funds in relation to bank regulations and risk management.
did something change, do the reasons reg T was initiated following the 1929 crash no longer apply?

Everything has changed. Every nook and cranny of this gigantic English Muffin that we call Trading has been arb'd, what-if'd, stat-mined, spread, re-packaged and regurgitated. There's nothing left to generate outsized returns. Traders have peaked as a skilled group. So, bump the leverage; more dollar power for all. Just wait until some mega-watt vol rips into the market, boy howdy.
