Congrats on IB for raising the margins

[bali_survivor]

IB has just notified its traders that there will be no reduced intraday margins today due to increased volatility.

Congrats!

PS in the 6 pm news in New Zealand there was talk about an expectation of the US market going down by 6 % overnight (NZ time).

Second that.

All good. Just be sure to undue that in a few days and not 5 weeks later like last year. At most a week is all that is necessary.

Also, nice of them to warn of this early in the morning before US open.

Good think. Don't want too many morons to blow up and take IB with them.
