unless you actually want to get it filled.

might be a charge for it, but I'd imagine ivolatility.com has it

you can use it whenever you want, you just have to realize what happens when you put that qualifier on your order. I personally would only do it in a highly liquid option.

I also should have mentioned that AON orders are not reflected in the current quote, so if you have an AON order that is better than the current best bid/offer it won't be reflected in the quote.

you'll be a lot better off not using AON, especially if you're just trading 10 contracts. putting AON on your order makes it "not held" and worked on a best efforts basis. generally whichever exchange the order was sent to is where it will stay, so unless the size is there at your limit on the...

nah, can't go lower than .05 and yeah sometimes you can sell a long position at the cabinet price

I'd look for a new broker. I'm about 99% sure that it's not the clearing firm that is holding the premium out on you.

the premium received should be available for you to use. are these calls in the money? if so then what they are probably doing is basically pricing your long stock at the short call price. so if your stock is at 10 and you write an $8 call then they may be holding out $200
