Our platforms have some type of risk manager. On one "page" you can view your Greeks per position and see totals. This is very common.

I guess free services offer just a taste. You'll have to call the company for more data pricing.

Really, I just looked at Citibank (C), and they went back to 1999.

Unfortunately, time is against you. Trading actively with $2K will move many traders to gamble as you look to gain trading assets. My advise is to find a paying job next to an active trader. Not easy to find. But you'll need a mentor willing to help you. Hopefully down the line, you'll either...

Yes, excellent service. A little expensive but worth it for full time option traders.

OK, so the answer is that you can't open an account because your an employee of a Bank or Broker dealer that deals in securities and your restricted from trading?

If you don't mind asking, why not?

I was let go December 31, 1985 at 4:15, 3 months after I was married, 24 years old. Happy New Year! I was a broker on the floor of the AMEX. My intention was to trade, but for someone else, not myself. I couldn't not find a job, so in February, I borrowed the minimum back then to open a market...
