I don't know if the API will be able to calculate what you're looking for.? It doesn't seem like a good sign if you are unsure about your margin/buying power while trying to open multiple stk/opt positions at once... Do all of these positions need to be opened simultaneously?? If done sequentially IB will tell you exactly what your margin requirements are for each trade.? I wonder if you might consider rethinking your strategy...

yes exactly.? For example closing the short call on a covered call position is actually increasing margin.? ?I can see the information with what-if window in TWS or from margin report, but so far I am not sure how to get the programatically.
