Ok, I'm not in their typical demographic (by age or assets), but I was trying to find a downside in their 3% matching offer for Roth IRAs. Can I really roll a 100K Roth into Robinhood, stuff it with SPY and write far OTM calls monthly or weekly to pay fees and commissions and let it sit for five...

If so, how is the best way, brokers, etc? Use ETC? I think IB offers physical gold addition to GC. Just doing some noobie research. Thanks.

I wonder why IB doesn't do outside RTH for futures options.

For options on futures, too?

When I tried checking the outside of RTH button after I hit the little clock it would not take. Was trading NQ. CME.

Occasionally, I do a class-share arb, and I leg in and out of each side. Is there a broker, who treats this like a spread trade, and I can like sell at, like, 1.25 and buy back for, like, just an example, 0.75, instead of going long and short on the equity positions. Just looking for equity not...

I looked at this last on Friday and it was a Dec. 19 call @ 40.

Any reason why the deltas are so high on way OTM calls? I mean like 0.07 for a 40 strike with a short time to go? Is the back of the envelope use of delta as a probability finishing ITM estimate useless for VIX options or OTM or both?

What non-equity ETFs have options on them that unequivocally, in the eyes if the IRS, qualify for Sec. 1256 treatment. Anyone have a list?

Does it make sense to borrow from a solo 401k (in today's environment) to fund a taxable trading account that employs an options strategy no solo 401k, that I know of, allows? I can grind out 8 or 9% percent a year writing options, and if I am borrowing at say at 6% and the interest goes back...

Just selling naked calls on ES

I’m wondering if there is any difference between E*trade and TradeStation with regard to cost and fees or SPAN if selling naked ES calls. Tks. (I’m asking because Schwab is hitting me for 2.50 a contract and IB which is cheap but is laying 200% of SPAN on me.)

Trade stocks, ETFs, options futures at Schwab. Looked at Tradelog but it doesn’t run natively on a Mac.

Gotcha.

Question: when they expire do they automatically roll up (or down) to the next contract, or does one roll manually?

And the futures? They stay at that level no matter what?

Education. Learn better live than with paper.

I guess today this should be a positive change in my favor, unless the sky falls.

Not sure if that boilerplate answers my question about why the contract is still listed in my account at 12:30 PM after expiration. Maybe that's a Schwab issue.

When does the December contract expire? At what time? If it is past expiration time but not yet settled (and thus not tradable even though it shows in my account) am I liable for any changes?
