if you account is under 100k.. I wouldn't recommend it.
THey will fill anything at any price when there is a margin
call. I can tell you for a fact that in 2008 I
sold a bunch of 10.00 spreads spx credit spreads for 14.00
because Ib wanted to get them filled. that's a profit
of 4.00 bucks for getting filled... they didn't care.. they were
liquidating everyone
