IB's 4% Intraday Initial Margin Req. for Index Futures

Quote from OldTrader:

Gnome:


In order for that to lead to a problem for IB, during that process the ES would have to move in excess of 70 points. Unlikely over the course of a day, let alone over the course of an hour lets say.

Damnit is just a crybaby, anytime you have anything negative to say about IB he throws a hissy fit. Dont know why either, its pretty strange.

Whatever you say boss. You're obviously a big time trader. We could tell right off. :cool:
 
Real mature, I didnt realize IB let 12 year old little boys open trading accounts :D

Exchange minimum "margin" for NQ is $3250/2600, initial/maint. Cat's out of the bag now. :eek:

NQ margin's in late 90's were over 10k. Get used to "margin volatility"

:cool:
 
LOL, I dont HAVE to do anything. You have an unhealthy relationship with your broker that someone else commented on. I've noticed this too and chimed in. Geez Mde2004, dont get so riled up, its bad for your blood pressure :D
