I have a USD account with CIBC that I don’t use as frequently, I was thinking of transferring USD from Wealthsimple to CIBC USD account and then onto IBKR to convert to CAD. But this seems annoying and will end up taking several days.
I’ve been doing the same. I hate IBKR’s interface
Tell you you don’t use IBKR without telling me. There are two displays dipshit.
Yeah I mainly stick to Robinhood and IBKR for that reason. All the other brokers tend to be very restrictive
OP’s screenshot is fake, IBKR shows $ value with % gain, not % gain like in the screenshot
Fake screenshot https://preview.redd.it/nzuuodr39lvg1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d6d72473626eeb98e8482497978d83fd93c1501 ? IBKR reports this screen in $ value not in %.
The volume on that 1m shrek candle was so high my IBKR can't show it because it clips out of the volume chart
Great post — deep ITM calendars on SPX are genuinely underexplored and your analysis is already more rigorous than most. Let me add some color on each risk you raised, plus a couple you didn't mention. **On bid-ask spreads** You're right that deep ITM SPX options can have wide markets, but the real killer is *slippage on the diagonal exit*. When you close, you're simultaneously buying back the short and selling the long. In a fast-moving tape, the two legs can move against you independently before your combo order fills. Always use the native SPX combo order on CBOE — never leg in or out. Mid-price on the spread itself is usually achievable in normal conditions; getting cute trying to improve each leg separately will cost you. **On vega risk — this is your most important consideration** Here's the math that matters: deep ITM calls have delta approaching 1.0, which means their vega approaches *zero*. At 30-40% ITM, both legs are essentially trading like synthetic stock. The vega differential you're worried about is real but shrinks dramatically the deeper ITM you go. The sweet spot for your strategy is actually *extreme* depth — 40-50% ITM — where both legs are nearly pure delta and vega barely registers. Paradoxically, the shallower end of your range (30% ITM) carries more vega risk than the deeper end. **On gamma at expiry** Your mitigation (close at 30+ DTE) is correct, and I'd actually tighten that to 45 DTE given how gamma accelerates on SPX. The other thing to know: SPX settles AM on expiration Friday, which means you lose the ability to close the short leg on Thursday afternoon if something weird happens overnight. Roll or close by Thursday close — never hold to AM settlement on a position this size. **On closing-side bid-ask eating profit** Yes, and it's worse than the opening side because you're now a *motivated seller* of the long. The market knows time is running out. Budget 0.3-0.5% of SPX notional for round-trip slippage in your return models — if the trade still works after that haircut, you're good. **On IV and deep ITM** This is where your intuition is mostly right but the nuance matters. For extremely deep ITM (delta 0.90+), IV changes have minimal impact on option price because intrinsic value dominates. Your real exposure is to the *difference* in vega between the two strikes, not absolute IV. Since the 18-month leg has more vega than the 12-month leg, a sharp IV *drop* (like post-earnings calm or a volatility crush) slightly hurts you — the long loses more time premium than the short. A sharp IV *rise* slightly helps. But at true 40-50% ITM depth, these effects are small enough to largely ignore. **Two risks you didn't mention** *Early assignment on the short leg* — SPX is European-settled so this literally cannot happen. This is one of the strongest structural reasons to use SPX over SPY or ES options for this strategy. No assignment risk, period. *Margin/capital treatment* — Depending on your broker, a deep ITM debit calendar may be margined as a naked short position on the short leg until the system recognizes the hedge. Call your broker before putting this on at size. TastyTrade and IBKR are generally good at recognizing the structure; some retail platforms are not. **Your volatility bet angle** Completely valid. Deep ITM calendars as a low-cost long-vega play when VIX is crushed (sub-15) is a legitimate institutional strategy. The position is essentially long the vol term structure spread — if front-month IV rises more than back-month, you win twice. Just be aware the *timing* of that vol expansion matters; you can be right and still bleed theta waiting. **Bottom line on your return target** 12-15% annualized on a structure with \~40% downside barrier is genuinely compelling relative to IG bonds. The main execution risk is slippage; the main structural risk is a fast vol crush on the closing leg. Both are manageable with disciplined entry sizing and a hard rule to close at 45 DTE. The strategy is sound — your analysis got the key risks right.
Damn I can literally see your buy on IBKR Volume: 7 You bought 3 of those.
IBKR with an ATH. What an incredible buying opportunity in April 2025 when it was in the $30s.
if youre looking to buy or sell an option then the limit price you see will be the one of the contract, the stock price is the spot price. and the optionals (profit taker and stop loss) are for the contract price. lots of guides on YT btw! but you will enjoy the better fills at IBKR
Could be false economy: RH charges more for margin accounts if over \~200k than IBKR. So IBKR can be cheaper if doing margin, even accounting for the RH bonus.
IBKR is the only platform that works for me. If you’re heavily involved in foreign markets (both stocks and bonds) and use margin there’s not a better option. Look at schwabs fees for both trades on global exchanges and margin, insane. So my options are to open separate accounts for these things and have a bad experience trying to manage and transfer funds or just put it all on IBKR. Fairly new but no issues so far. Everyone says the UI is bad but I find it top notch. Market data isn’t that expensive and you don’t need most of it. If you do it’s much better data than other platforms.
You can trade them on IBKR too.
IBKR UI can be a little tricky at first but it's worth it imo Regardless, we don't have robinhood in UK
Two years of manual tracking is impressive but exhausting. I use Days to Expiry to auto-sync my IBKR covered calls and see true FIFO-matched P&L without spreadsheets. What metric mattered most to you over that period, annualized ROI or total premium collected?
You can trade options in the UK on IBKR (Interactive Brokers). And yep it’s exactly like that, the most he could lose was $8.8k, nothing more. That’s the case when you buy an option (whether a call or put). Your loss is unlimited when you sell an option, however, so if you do venture into options, stay away from selling them.
Decided to try out IBKR for the first time. dear god the UI is atrocious. I'm sure it's useful if you actually know what you're doing, but for a crayon-eating gremlin such as myself it is mind-melting, certainly far more overwhelming than T212.
Allah candle at 3:55 gona close this at $703. But IBKR and Robinhood will close out retail positions at 3:50
0 shares available at IBKR, 280% interest rate.
Interesting. These numbers don't match open interest in options (e.g. [ENPH](https://optioncharts.io/options/ENPH) where call put ratio and oi is bullish/neutral while the list it is a crowded short) nor long/short ration as advertised with IBKR (0.25 short). Are these numbers incorporating future dark pool orders or something like that? What am I missing here? P.s. I just checked 1 stock here
Support is pretty slow in the few cases u need it. But if the interface is what's bothering u can try using mobile app IBKR global trader, as it is designed to be more simple and intuitive
This is my retard account, use IBKR.
I like IBKR, low fees, cheap margin, access to data flows for bid:ask, seamless purchase of foreign equities on their home exchanges (in foreign currency), decent app. I’ve tried robinhood, fidelity, vanguard, and Charles Schwab, and IBKR is my favorite, especially for any investing beyond simple buy and hold of common shares.
As a Canadian I've used TD, Wealthsimple, Questrade, Webull, and IBKR. I'd honestly say IBKR is my favorite, particularly for the ease of purchasing stocks in foreign currencies and converting currency, but I'd agree that reaching customer support is quite difficult / unintuitive. You can actually pretty quickly get into an online chat with an agent during normal business hours, but you have to go through a specific series of steps on the website which I can't recall.
Those are usd profits, everything is waived over 100k. This is my options account, reg is with IBKR
In IBKR, I split it directly from the option chain, because calls and puts are listed as separate contracts and each one has its own open interest. So I read call OI from the call side, put OI from the put side, but IBKR OI by itself does not show long vs short, since every open contract always has both a long and a short side
That warning usually pops up because IBKR reserves buying power differently than you might expect, even for fully cash-secured puts. It doesn't mean you're on margin, but it can look scary if you're not used to their math. I use Days to Expiry to track my actual cash requirements and wheel positions so I don't have to decode IBKR's margin alerts. Is this your first CSP, or have you seen this warning before on other trades?
CSP means that you have the entire amount of the cash needed to cover the assignment in your account. If subsequently assigned, there's no reason why you should have to deposit additional margin for the short put. It would only make sense that IBKR requested more cash if the short put was naked and your buying power was just above the approximate 20% margin requirement.
I made profit on SMR calls this morning even though I was basically trading blind because IBKR sucks.
IBKR's margin warning on CSPs is about their excess liquidity calculation, not yours. Even with cash fully covering the put, IBKR's risk engine adds a cushion requirement because they calculate worst-case scenarios including overnight gap risk. The "10% additional margin" is their house rule, not a regulation. You're not in danger - they're just being conservative. If it bothers you, keep ~15% cash buffer above the CSP collateral and the warnings stop.
IBKR is the worst brokerage... maybe on par with Schwab. If anything negative happens, they immediately try to save every penny and find a way to screw you.
Yeah them leaving the country definitely would require cashing out before they left (unless using an international broker like IBKR?) but at that point I assumed I would have a better sense of whether I want to continue in the US long term and can take the earnings and start funding my IRA here
It's much easier to make $1000 every day with 200K in a portfolio then trying to make $1000 with a 5K account using 0DTE options. If you use stocks you put up a lot of capital but the risk is not the total amount. Most software like IBKR will calculate 'Value at Risk' VaR which is how much is actually at risk in worst case scenario for that day, based on volatility.
For research I have been sticking with Tradevision lately and it has made a big difference in how I find my plays. I execute through IBKR but I do all my heavy lifting on the analysis side with the tools Tradevision provides. It is very user friendly and provides a lot of clarity on things like volume and price action
that "consider adding" message at IBKR is advisory, not a hard stop -- they only auto-liquidate if you actually breach maintenance margin, not just because the buffer is thin. if you had enough cash to cover the put you probably didnt need to close it. the stress model warning just means youre close enough to the edge that one bad day could trigger real action. sizing down a bit (like 50-60% of capital in CSPs at most) usually makes those warnings go away without switching account types
You sure? I'm on IBKR and I can.
IBKR margin accounts calculate requirements differently even on CSPs. Your cash is there but their risk engine looks at portfolio margin utilization not just cash balance, so a CSP that eats 90%+ of your buying power triggers that warning automatically. It's not saying you can't afford it, it's saying one bad move and you're at maintenance. Switching to a cash account fixes the warnings but you lose the ability to sell spreads which imo is worse. I'd just keep the margin account and size smaller, like never have more than 50-60% of your capital tied up in CSPs at once.
IBKR calculates margin requirements differently than most brokers even on cash secured puts, they use portfolio margin or reg T margin models that can require more buying power than just the strike times 100. Switching to a cash account would solve this cleanly if you have no intention of using margin, you'd just need to make sure settlement times don't create issues if you're trading frequently. Worth calling IBKR directly before your next trade because their margin desk is actually pretty helpful and can explain exactly what triggered that specific warning.
I'm at IBKR too and did the same (although other direction, lol). You need to tick trade outside of RTH.
I opened an account with IBKR. The app is way too confusing and they want to charge commissions on everything I do including reinvesting dividends. I will be canceling.
Yeah, I was in the exact same boat, full-time job, checking positions twice a day, and constantly feeling blind on my overall Greeks. What helped me was splitting “how exposed am I?” from “what should I trade next?” Your broker (TOS or IBKR) has portfolio-level Greeks, but the dashboards are cluttered and slow. I’ve been using saena.ai. Just screenshot your positions and it gives you a clean breakdown in 30 seconds, plus their Options Lab shows HV Rank to help decide whether to sell or buy premium. It’s not for real-time Greeks, but perfect for that twice a day sanity check. I still use my broker for live trading and execution, but saena.ai fills the strategic gap nicely. I hope this helps!
Cash accounts can't sell options with IBKR
IBKR can always cancel your trade if they feel your putting them at risk because ultimately they are responsible as the counterparts, if you lose a million dollars and don't have it IBKR has to pay your counterparty. That said cash accounts also don't allow you to sell options. The simplest answer is to just call them and ask why. I've dealt with them on a few occasions and they were nothing but helpful.
This happens a lot at IBKR – “cash secured” on your end does not necessarily translate into “fully secured” on their risk model They will haircut your collateral + account for volatility, therefore your required margin can sometimes be higher than strike\*100, particularly for a volatile underlying. They will never do something randomly; however, they WILL liquidate your position if there’s little room in your margin . If you really don’t want this hassle, yes, opening a cash account will definitely solve your problem
Yes, you're right — futures can result in physical delivery. But IBKR and most retail brokers will almost always automatically close out the position before the First Notice Day, so physical delivery basically never happens for normal traders. They don't want to deal with arranging oil delivery, and they know you don't either.
Well I use IBKR so I know I would get it for a better price then you would, does it matter for 1 trade, probably not but cumulatively over time retail has had billions stolen from them. Why do you think Robinhood sells your data and orderflow? You are the product...
IBKR does not do physical delivery for retail. They close out the contracts automatically. This is fake AF.
Yeah it's IBKR's questionnaire to unlock leveraged ETFs
Has anyone here tested the IBKR newsfeed to the weekend trickle youd get here? 🤔
By default IBKR will cash settle this.
Thank you for providing the link. I knew Saxo [did it](https://www.home.saxo/en-gb/rates-and-conditions/futures/trading-conditions) but I didn't know for sure for IBKR since I don't use them. Now I do, so thanks.
Eh, there's enough regards out here who qualify for accredited investor status, and has such permissions on their IBKR account. The email is fake, because IBKR requires you to manually submit a Delivery Intent as they will otherwise liquidate, however if you are regarded enough to submit a Delivery Intent for one of the commodities they support (mostly precious metals like gold and silver), then yes, you'll be looking at gold.
IBKR baby it's like giving a shotgun to a toddler
It’s fake. IBKR doesn’t allow physical delivery. Takes a second to search
> Also the broker should show BP as you create the trade (Tasty , Tos do this, and I think IB Yes, IBKR too.
That's fake. IBKR does **not** allow retail clients to take physical delivery of commodities. Full stop.
This is most likely fake. IBKR doesn't allow physical delivery for CL.
Haven't IBKR banned retards from trading physically settled futures after negative oil price debacle ?
IBKR closes the position prior to expiry. Post is fake.
Did IBKR change their policies? I trade a ton of lumber futures and they used to not allow physical delivery, they would force liquidate any unclosed holdings on day of expiry.
OP didn't, it's funny but fake. IBKR does not allow physical delivery.
This is a high-stakes "oops," but it is solvable if you act aggressively starting **Monday morning**. Since today is Saturday and the markets/offices are closed, you have 48 hours to prep your "strike team." Here is the summary of the steps you need to take to clear this obligation by the **April 13th deadline**. ### 1. The "EFP" Hail Mary (Monday 6:00 AM CT) Your first and best option is to have **Interactive Brokers (IBKR)** fix this internally via an **Exchange for Physical (EFP)**. * **Action:** Call the IBKR Trade Desk immediately when they open. Do not talk to general support; ask for **Futures/Commodities Delivery**. * **The Script:** *"I have an accidental physical delivery obligation for 2,000 barrels of WTI (CLJ26) at Cushing Tank Farm 7. I need to execute an EFP or EFS to offset this position. Can IBKR facilitate a cash settlement with a commercial counterparty?"* * **Why this works:** IBKR technically "forbids" physical delivery for retail clients, so they are incentivized to help you make this go away (for a fee). ### 2. The "In-Tank Sale" (Monday 8:00 AM CT) If IBKR can't/won't facilitate the EFP, you must sell the oil to a physical marketer in Cushing. You aren't "moving" the oil; you are doing a **Book Transfer**. * **Action:** Contact commercial crude marketers who operate in Cushing. * **CP Energy (Cushing Desk):** Known for handling smaller-lot logistics in Oklahoma. * **Enterprise Products or Enbridge:** They likely operate the "Tank Farm 7" mentioned in your notice. * **The Script:** *"I have 2,000 barrels of WTI Light Sweet Crude staged at Tank Farm 7, Bay 14. I am looking for an immediate 'in-tank' purchase. I need to transfer the title by the April 13th 17:00 deadline."* * **Why this works:** These companies have the "EPA certifications" and "carrier licenses" the notice says you lack. They will buy your oil at a discount (maybe $2–$4 below market) and take over the obligation. ### 3. Financial Settlement Once you find a buyer (either through IBKR or a physical marketer): * **Documentation:** You will receive a **Transfer of Title** or a **Bill of Lading**. * **Confirmation:** You must send this document to Interactive Brokers immediately to prove the "collection" has been handled by a licensed carrier. ### Summary Checklist | Step | Contact | Goal | |---|---|---| | **Priority 1** | **IBKR Trade Desk** | Ask for an **EFP** (Exchange for Physical). | | **Priority 2** | **Cushing Marketers** | Sell the oil **"In-Tank"** at a discount. | | **Final Step** | **Compliance** | Provide IBKR with the **Transfer of Title** docs. | **Critical Warning:** Do **NOT** ignore the 17:00 CT deadline on Monday. If you don't have a confirmed buyer or transfer by then, you will be in "Default of Delivery," and the exchange (NYMEX) can levy fines that dwarf the value of the oil itself. **Would you like me to look up the direct phone numbers for the physical marketing desks in Cushing so you have them ready for Monday morning?**
I didn't know there is such possible options in IBKR 👀
When you click too many "I know what I'm doing" boxes at IBKR.
[Here](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/futures-close-out.php) IBKR does not allow the making or taking delivery of certain futures contracts settled by physical delivery of the underlying commodity.
Probably fake. IBKR doesn't allow physical delivery except certain currency contracts. They would have closed the contract about 2 days before expiration.
Op, i thought IBKR dont allow this?
Google AI says......If a trader holding this position is unable to take physical delivery, they face serious financial and legal consequences as they are responsible for defaulting on their contract. \[1\] The notice shown is an official notification of a **physical delivery obligation** assigned after a long position in WTI Crude Oil Futures (CLJ26) was held through expiration. # What Happens if Delivery Fails? If the account holder does not arrange collection by the April 13, 2026 deadline, the following typically occurs: * **Legal & Exchange Penalties:** The exchange (NYMEX) considers this a default on a legal obligation. They may assign significant penalties and start formal proceedings against the account holder. * **Forced Liquidation:** The broker or clearinghouse may liquidate the position at the current market price to fulfill the obligation, often at the most unfavorable price possible. * **Secondary Costs:** Even if the commodity stays at the storage facility, the holder is billed for **storage fees**. If these bills go unpaid, the facility can sell the commodity to cover costs, returning only the remaining balance (if any) to the trader. * **Broker Liability:** Clearing members (like Interactive Brokers) are responsible for costs incurred when a customer fails to accept delivery. The broker will pass all these costs, including market price differences and documentation fees, directly to the customer. \[1, 2, 3, 4\] # Why This is Unusual for Retail Traders Most retail brokers, including Interactive Brokers, generally do not allow customers to make or take physical delivery of commodities like oil. Under standard policy, IBKR usually **automatically liquidates** such positions during a "close-out period" before expiration to prevent this exact situation. \[5, 6, 7\] The reddit post likely highlights a rare case where a trader bypassed these protections or held a specific type of account intended for physical delivery. \[2, 8\]
No, it’s not how it works. IBKR sends you a notice like 10 days before expiry with an assignment letter. This letter was sent to someone that has the means to be able to take physical delivery….
Fake post. IBKR doesn't allow physical delivery on any futures besides some precious metals, and will always close out positions before expiration. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/futures-close-out.php
I read the T&C's when I opened my IBKR account, and they do indeed force closure of positions before physical delivery would be obligated. Pretty sure this is fake.
IBKR doesn't allow retail traders to take delivery on commodities the contract would have been automatically closed before the roll, funny post but unfortunately it's not real.
It's fake. IBKR does not allow physical delivery and closes positions in advance.
Literally all 4 of those are totally fucked. The past never included Claude since it didn’t exist. Now it does. Gotta throw the past out completely. NOW is still at like 55 trailing PE or whatever, while things like IBKR aren’t even half of that with way bigger moats. Saying it’s hard to imagine a world where ADBE isn’t a great investment is like someone in 2005 saying it’s hard to imagine Blockbuster not being one. Careful out there man.
Hello. I have no excperience in trading but have placed a lottery bet on 3 legs of GCZ26 gold futures options 15000/20000 December 2026 via CME / IBKR. It now show 12000 dollar in maintance margin. If Gold should be close to 20000 near end of November will my maintance margin the same or will it rise a lot. Rgds Terje

Bro, they don’t even support largest brokerage which is IBKR.
Reddit and market movers list. Then looking through it using IBKR, Simply Wall St, and Claude + Gemini.
The IBKR shows PnL, but its super clunky. And I hate the Ui. Plus it does not strip out the extrinsic value remaining in each position. I like to know what remains so I know if I should roll, or cash it in. So I got the Ai to make me a html file I can open in the browser, and it connects to the API of the broker via a python script file I dbl click on, and it opens and connects via windows terminal, and the html tool is connected. Updates all my positions, I can put rolled profit in there and continue a ongoing combo, and see exactly what it has generated, plus the extrinsic value remaining in everything. Literally took 10min to make
The IBKR platform doesn't already show you a PnL? Not sure I follow.
Nice stuff. how good is Ai these days. Today, with some spare time I built an API plug in to track my trades from the IBKR platform. Mainly so it can show me extrinsic remaining in each position. But it even fetches live prices and can give me a rough PnL when i am not connected, but updates when i connect it to live Greeks and PnL. What a world we live in now. Good stuff Sir
Ya you’re prob fucked, also if you’re swinging spx at least use IBKR

Feel the same about IBKR
DO NOT TRADE ON TOS WEB. It has bugs, isnt cleaned up and fixed and is wrong with greeks and everything. Custoner support should tell you that. use their main trading platform on the desktop, ThinkorSwim. Even with ThinkorSwim, it may be laggy. I would say for performance LightSpeed since those platform has less crap on it. IBKR might be alright as well, a lot of funds use that platform.
the real issue here is you're dealing with complex order routing that most retail platforms handle poorly. butterflies require all legs to fill simultaneously and exchanges prioritize simpler orders. some traders leg out manually but thats risky. tastytrade handles complex orders slightly better than TOS in my experience. for perps [markets.xyz](http://markets.xyz) avoids this entirely since theres no multi-leg routing, but thats a different instrument obviously. IBKR's smart routing is probably your best bet for options specifically.
Same. I laughed after I saw my IBKR order where I panic sold 100 for .20 yesterday lmaooo
Phenomenal patent. It reminds me of UAMY in the disruptive tech stakes. Where do you buy it? It's not on Trading212; I'll check Saxo, II, and IBKR in the morning.
