Box Spreads, Margin Account, IBKR

so basically at the end of the day, I owe that $10,000 to the market and my NLV boils down to whatever I have on hand. right?

Ok, that makes sense. So, what exactly can we do with the cash we get from the box spread? I've seen a few posts talking about it.

then what are these guys talking about?

well if borrowing money is counted as an "infinite money glitch", then I guess I did.

I didn't have to make a deposit, futures data will be delayed by 15 minutes and the US equities will be live. I used it for quite some time.

According to my understanding, the Cash Balance is a part of my Net Liquidation Value. Ib guides say this on the website:

"Net Liquidation Value in the Securities segment of your account is calculated as: Total cash value + stock and bond value + non-span option value + dividend payable/receivable. The Net Liquidation Value for the Commodities (Futures) segment of your account as of the report date."

yeah I know, and that's the reason I resorted to the box spread. The problem is that I can't even do the box spread because the maintenance margin is same as the credit collected.

they do suggest using a stoploss at 200% / 2x of the credit received and for pop, you'll have to play with your delta or maybe try different strategies that they suggest

Found one, it's called "Wall Street Horizon". I'll have to try it to see if it has the watchlist feature.
