  1. "If your account is 250K or more..."
    Then it was,
    "If your account is 500K or more..."
    Now it's,
    "If your account is 1M$ or more..."

    "Oh the times,
    they are a changin'..."

    The only way to place a trade was to phone your broker.

  3. There are no retail brokers with minimums that high (even $250K). In fact, mimimums have been coming down or eliminated for years. IBKR did away with their minimum over a decade ago.

    Link us to your BS claim. No retail broker offering portfolio margin requires those minimums.

    You're FOS. .
