i really like IB. it does have some glitches once in a while, but probably all brokers do.

today i had to seriously sh*t my pants because i ended up with a large equity position which i could not hedge with short SPY.

inverse ETFs is a very good idea.

alternative broker does not work 100%. if you exceed margin in IB account, get liquidated and still have your hedge with the other broker.

The trick is figuring out how many inverse ETF shares to hedge your long positions with.
