How is Current Maintenance Margin calculated by Interactive Brokers?

Personal Finance & Money Asked by VHanded on February 13, 2021

I am curious about how Interactive Brokers calculates Current Maintenance Margin and Current Initial Margin. Why do both have the same value?

I have an all-stock account.

One Answer

The reason that I asked about the $25k is that a Pattern Day Trader is allowed 25% margin intraday but must revert to 50% by the EOD for overnight margin.

Margin maintenance is also 25%. For some reason, Interactive Brokers displays both Current Maintenance Margin and Current Initial Margin at 25%. AFAIC, they should display the 50% overnight margin amount.
