Seeing as the $500 intraday margin brokers all survived and actually increased their clients, IB should abolish the practice of intraday margin...
I once had a phantom Forex trade in my IB account. That was years ago. Took the about 6 weeks to resolve it. By that I mean a few days to confirm...
They just have to update the main margin listing page to reflect that. On another note, now the challenge is to figure out what new VIX...
