Nothing will happen, as I will be able to fullfil the margin requirement. What do you think will happen?

Update: I now even did a trade just to test this out, and it worked as expected by me!
And here's the screenshot. Compare this to the previous screenshot of today: the total credit increased by about $65 (it was just 1 contract):

Yes but margin went down so not a valid test. Does not indicate using collected credit.

Hey, it's you who does not understand the dynamic margin mechanism of IB, because I very well collected an additional credit of about $65, the acct values prove it.

Update:
I even did some more trades. Here's the latest update:

Here are also the trade records:

This thread topic has so many replies :confused::banghead: -- i kind of hate alot of talk.
I equate alot of talk = with alot of bs, or ignorance.

Put up, or shut up. -- Do your thing...and then if it works...feel free to brag about it all you want--so everyone can learn,or be entertained.
But until then, everything is just noise and nonsense.

Completely agree. Now that he is using his live account, there is no longer a need to talk about what can and can't happen, and how anything should work or won't work. The results will speak for themselves.

The Paper Account (Sim-Account) of IB is different from the old Demo account.
The Paper Acct is very realistic.
Since Friday I'm trading live.
And I don't need to talk anything with you, bye!

Demo is demo...if it doesn't matter when you're wrong, then it doesn't matter when you're right.

Again, like the other poster said...put up or shut up...ain't nobody here to talk about your stupid demo account.

I know...I was responding to his previous point about IB demo being better than other demos.

I can't have said that because I don't have used any other paper account but that of IB.

IB has 3 demo account types:
  • Paper account with realtime data (I had used this for 4 weeks long, then I went live since 2016-08-05)
  • Paper account with delayed data
  • (shared?) Demo account with "simulated" data (I guess data from prev. weeks)
