Sure . In his example let's use AAPL. Stock 224.25. This is long an DITM Put and DITM calls and short the worthless other options on that strike. This 50 point box is worth $50 less the cost of carry if there is no dividend and not hard to borrow.

You need to ask them.

Does TD allow you to use CME Direct?

You are looking at the money in the wrong manner. I sell an options for $2. When I close the position, it determines if I made or lost money. If not cash settled, at settlement, it is either converted to stock or expires worthless. If worthless, then you get to keep it. If converted to stock...
