    Option/Futures SPAN margin calculations

    Correct, but we don't offer retail futures platforms and either do most FCMs and introducing brokers. And, unlike futures margin, option margin changes....as we both know.

    Option/Futures SPAN margin calculations

    I'm asking what you do to follow your SPAN margin requirements during the day, on a futures platfrom that does not do the calculations, which is most. I found a solution I'm doing a demo for in 10 min, that does this live for Wedbush clients. I think it is very rare to do this for a small fee.

    Formula for "Implied Volatility"

    Have you looked at Livevol Pro? You can buy the data and it will be accurate. Why do calculations for past events? I can see if you you want to do the calculations live, but that is not as easy as you think. You need accurate interest and dividend flows. Hard to borrow stocks and stocks with...

    Formula for "Implied Volatility"

    Each trading platforms uses some version of BS to calculate the current IVol including whatever dividend/interest rate flows they pick up. Why do you want to do the calculations yourself? What will you do with the results? They have to use current option prices to do this as it is a require input.

    It is interesting that you choose the broker to do business with that asked for the least amount of work. Once you account is open, the work is done.

    Line of credit from a broker

    I would say no. No broker dealer will provide an unsecured loan, at least not in the USA. It would have to be their banking division.

    Trust companies and futures brokers

    The brokers or FCMs that need this, don't offer whatever services the government requires to custody this accounts. I expect it is because of the cost, but I don't know what they are required to do and what that costs. I do it so I can trade under normal trading rules with Futures.

    Trust companies and futures brokers

    BTW, I had my Roth IRA at TD first. I would never sell naked options or do ratios. It was impossible to trade. Now, I can trade easily. It is worth the fee that Midland charges me.

    Trust companies and futures brokers

    I use Midland IRA for my self directed IRA. That way I can use my IRA like a regular account. My FCM is not an IRA custodian and won't take them directly. A hedge fund can't hold your IRA money or a real estate investment, but through Midland, they can. I need the middleman. I'm happy to provide...

    I don't use Bloomberg, but I expect they would have that.
