Re: IB Intraday Margin's Gone for a Few Days.

Do you know I can't remember to be honest Last I looked it was better than I could get in a 'regular' bank deposit account. Again I would imagine it is based on account size, as I too don't have that much in the account I never pay it too much attention. I have only hit margin troubles on the DAX where they used to switch to full overnight margin at 4.30 European time (even though the DAX is still open then).

Good to hear that OEC give interest - more brokers should imo it might not amount to much but beer and burgers one a month is better than nothing!

I honestly don't know. Haven't traded the DAX through IB for a while. Could always shoot them a message through the platform if you have an account or it's probably on the website somwhere.

I would consider infinity if you offered more markets Tom. Finding an alternate broker for Asia (in my case Tokyo and Osaka) has been impossible.

Other then IB I haven't come across many brokers that let you trade the asian markets. IB and Sonray are the only brokers I've found that let you trade the SPI.
