check your dictionary for troll. You are sneaking up on me since I schooled you on basic futures pnl accounting. And now, please go bang on someone else's door. No interest conversing with you unless its meaningful content. Or else end up on ignore. You have been warned once.

"In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses"

Sounds spot on to me. You post obviously incorrect information, then when someone calls you out you claim to be correct and create an quarrel. Then you bring it up again in other threads and say that you "schooled" them, and "still licking your wounds" (basically "u mad bro" kind of stuff) that can't have any other purpose than provoking. If you aren't trolling intentionally, then be more careful that you don't do it unintentionally because it's indistinguishable from outside of your head.

l'm in a similar situation, -40,726K cash deposit, net liq = +16K, and MTD, month to date interest, was -24.69 yesterday. today it is -29.97, thats an increase of $5.28. l calculate the rate being 4.73% per year. are my calculations correct: 5.28/40726x100 = 0.013% per day. so per year it'd be 365 x 0.013% = 4.73% which is more than double the rate, 1.55% charge shown on https://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/en/index.php?f=1595
being double charged?

This guy has gone through about 10 different usernames here on ET over the space of years, and eventually is either banned or ignored by so many people that he is no longer able to get his jollies off of trolling and has to start fresh with a new username. He's truly pathetic. Best to just block him or talk about him but not actually to him. That infuriates trolls, as you'll see by his response to this in 3, 2, 1....
