XIV margin call at Questrade.......any recourse?

There were some buyers all the way down, even though it is obvious sellers dominated buyers most of the time (1-min bars). There was even a brief mini rally @ 3:33pm CT. There was an opportunity to save a 94% loss +/-.

There was no opportunity. Even if there was a small after hr bid, do you think your theoretical offer was first in line ?? As other have said, move on.

I have not traded stocks, ETFs/ETNs in years, but years ago I did trade after-hours earnings, announcements, indictments, etc.

It is possible to get filled on your limit orders. Only limit orders are accepted, so it only first come-first served at that price. You anticipate where the price will be, not where it is currently.

For example, on 10-15-14: NFLX dropped over $123 at one point on an earnings miss. Some traders specialize in trading those fast, crazy, big moves after hours.

Anyway, good luck in your trading.
