Since an option on future is a future, I would have to say yes. I mentioned PM, because TDA considers them has "high risk." I tried trading them four years ago on 100K account, and was denied.

I cannot answer that.

Usable margin is margin that is available for you to trade instruments. Usable maintenance margin is overnight margin.

Looks like you are trying to trade options on futures. I cannot speak for other brokers, but with TD Ameritrade, you will need Portfolio Margin ($125k) to trade such an instrument. Well, that was the case back in 2016, when I wanted to trade an option on future.

Laying down fabric and burning holes in it is ingenious.

H&R Block Tax Pro. The service assigns a human tax professional, and you can keep the same one indefinitely.

Dodd-Frank needs to be amended...

I am surprised that CVNA has survived given that 40 million jobs were lost, and the last thing on people's mind is buying a new car.

A few people on Stocktwits actually know what the hell they are talking about. Most add no value. I don't give a shit if someone earned 10000% in an hour. What post that shit. It's pollution.

Alienware came to mind. But before doing that, you should run a performance profile on your computer to determine where the bottleneck is occurring (i.e., is it RAM, CPU, Networking or Disk that is causing the freeze?).

The only thing more obnoxious is that she wasn't thrown in jail for that shit.

One of the most heralded retail traders to sell options was "Karen the Supertrader." She started off with $11,000 (or maybe it was $100,000) and ran it to $41,000,000. Wonder whatever happened to her? :D

You all done run DELTAONE77 away. I was looking forward to learning from him. Those profits were phenomenal. :D

Hmm... one advantage-- Theta works in your favor when you sell options, as opposed to against you when you buy an option. Another advantage, if you plan to hold a stock long term, why not write options for income? It sure beats writing a naked option. Take the above with a grain of salt, I...

Everyone's a "blood sucker" until adversity hits them...

If a simple PING request has a reply that is in the high triple digits (900+ ms), then you have a very slow connection. Keep in mind that practically any connection will suffice. It's not like you are sending a huge amount of data when placing trades.

He's just another pouting billionaire who uses Twitter to spread non-sense and drivel.

You have to be a complete imbecile to not see the hypocrisy in Trump's actions. No emotions, just facts. Let me put it in crayon for you: 1. Trump sought to abridge Kaepernick's freedom of expression. 2. Trump threw an executive tantrum, because Twitter simply labeled (didn't removed) his...

Only an imbecile would attempt to establish a moral equivalency between X-mas lights and a vaccine. Only an imbecile.

I stand corrected. Thinkorswim (TD Ameritrade) is a shitty platform for futures only, because they don't do SPAN margin for spreads, and doesn't offer daytrading margin. It's an acceptable platform for Forex. In fact, if I were trading Forex, it would be my platform of choice, because things...
