Re: How do I find out the margin requirements for a US stock through the TWS API?

I don't think that it is counter-intuitive. Whether an order would go through may depend on many parameters. For example what other positions are already in your portfolio, and how much free cash you have available. Besides the size of the intended order. The margin required is therefore depending on the situation and can only be analyzed by submitting a "what-if order".
yes, and all this information is available before entering the trade, and I should be able to deduct the result myself, without a 'what if' order. ideally for example based on values in accountSummary(), such as?AvailableFunds-S ?
