Actually, one more question. Margin requirement for trading is $2000, so theoretically one can open account with 10000 and then withdraw 8000 (or less) and that would be ok and enough for trading, is that right?
So, is minimum amount 5000 or $10000??? Opening account page claims 5000 as well as IB representative here, but info page on the IB website says 10000. Which on is right?:?:
