Look for stocks that have news after the close like earnings. Any website that lists upcoming earning reports and shows am or pm will help. Here is one from a friend of mine that is an X-market maker. https://marketchameleon.com/Reports/AfterHoursTrading...

SPAN margin is what the CME requires. IB can use whatever they want, but not less. http://www.cmegroup.com/clearing/risk-management/span-overview.html

Here are some helpful links. For entity creation, I have used: IRS to get your EIN: https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp Blumberg Excelsior Corporate Services for entity formation: https://www.blumberg.com/corporate_services/nationwide.html You will also need an LLC...

Who is your broker? You should ask them what they require. SPAN margin on what you describe should be less than $20K but they might want a buffer.

If you qualify for Portfolio Margin and the symbol is marginable, the requirement would be lower. Typical would be the loss from a 15% move for margin and more for risk. 25% is typical for risk but for highly concentrated portfolios, it will be more. We go up to 40%.

Depends on the scope of the order flow vs what they can hedge with other options vs the underlying. Everyone has a risk manager or clearing house to say enough, and prices have to move.

I have no issues with knowledgeable traders doing buy-writes or selling puts in broad based indexes, country ETFs or sector ETFs, when the goal is to take advantage of the expectation that they are unlikely to drop and vol is high. My problem is with the single stock risk on a security that...

I can't say that as I have no expectation of the future price movement.

NVDA earning were May 9th. It is not uncommon for demand to decline without any events pending. Not to say that is right or wrong, just common.

The question should be is the current IVOL higher or lower than the expected uncertainty or even the recent past? Looks like for now, IVOL is higher than nearterm movement but lower than the past.

Or, you can open a second account at another broker so you always have access to trade.

Mine is smaller, about 60". I put it together myself. Box is really heavy. You will need help or a hand truck.

Not that much weight. I have this with two draws on the left side. Not a wood desk, but hard wood would be over $2K.

Yes they can, but they need a reason to add the addition risk and margin with the equity vs the option. Typically, 2 reasons for early assignment are hard to borrow stocks and high dividends. It would be based on your expectation of where the stock will trade. Way to complicated to get answer...

IMO, when you get material news from earnings or the FDA, I can make a case for old resistance levels being on a different stock and they won' t apply. Just my opinion. Bob

Is the CPA for taxes, audit etc? What do you need them to do? Do they have to be local? Email me directly and I'll try and get you a name that you can contact.

It is any process or data set that you can use to statistically put the odds of a favorable outcome at better than 50/50 including all fixed and variable costs. Technically, edge does not factor in risk/reward. That would be a factored in as another tool or process.

Agreed that the tax advantage is great, but making money in general is better. And, all cash settled index and VIX symbols on the CBOE are 1256 too.
