Got a margin warning from IBKR this morning.
Related to 15x 4/2 -900/+700
Anyone with experience at IBKR (
@Drezil - do you still trade on IBKR here in Europe?) here able to offer some not-advice on how IBKR acts with 1 week from expiry? Prefer the expert's opinion here, before calling them.
Also, non-advice appreciated on ideas to fix this, I'm thinking:
1. roll out as far as possible for min. credit on open of trading, keeping 900/700
2. roll out really safe to -700/+500 as far as required, even for a debit?
3. how does buying shitput work in relation to BPS @ iBKR? Also, at what strike should the shot-put be?
Thanks, and apologies for asking here things that might be hidden in the great archive of knowledge that is this thread.
Pretty stressed out. Never had a margin call before.
