cesfx, no I'm not able to due to the EU rule but looking at the rules again, I think I am eligible soon based on number of trades and professional experience but perhaps they are looking at removing the rule? I did not try the option assignment method, but I'm mostly trading so it would be too...

Hey Blink 18, please expand on this, is there something you know about Hungry that's a red flag?
