Robinhood doesn't allow market orders on options. Why can’t I place market orders on options? | Robinhood

Just saw this was already posted, apologies.

CME is planning to launch Micro Bitcoin Futures starting May 3rd. They will be .1 Bitcoin. CME Group set to launch Micro Bitcoin futures (cointelegraph.com)

I think the problem is how you are entering the order. In your example above, you bought the put spread, you didn't sell it. You bought the 3890 put for .55 and sold the 3885 put for .35, so you paid .20 for it, you didn't sell it.

You would simply take off the position. Sell the stock and buy the calls back. You would want to do this as a spread.

Would the margin be less if you bought a deep in the money April VIX put vs shorting the future? Or do the whole combo in options?

Over $350,000 raised so far.

Although I wasn't familiar with this charity before, it sure looks like they aren't just "protecting gorillas in captivity" Protecting wild gorillas, scientific research, educating local communities, and much more. Seems to be doing a lot of good. I would think these donations would be a very...

It seems the thing to do now on Wallstreetbets is to make a donation and sponsor a Gorilla at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Foundation in the name of GME. The Wallstreetbets reddit page is now filled with pictures of Gorillas that they have sponsored, apparently raising a huge amount of money for the...

You can also buy some deep in the money short dated puts (which will have very little extrinsic value) and exercise them immediately. This way you will get out of your stock position right away instead of waiting for someone else to exercise calls you sell.

If short shares can't be located, you can always trade a synthetic short with the options. This involves buying a put and selling the same strike call. This price you pay will reflect how hard to borrow the stock is. Some brokers will offer a paid locate service, where you pay an upfront fee...

Dear Hidden Hand, After careful review of all your ET posts, we must decline your admission to our High Quality Group.

If you only trade equities and stock options, the CME seat won't help you lower your fees.

Wow, this is crazy. Trading almost 200 now after hours. Vol will be insane tomorrow. Wonder how many firms will restrict trading.

You should also check to see if they have you labeled as a Professional Customer. If that is the case, it would explain the higher commissions.

You most likely are paying for taking liquidity which can add over .80 per contract, depending on the exchange. Remember you can also be paid to add liquidity with IB. You could always switch to a fixed rate.

Look at the offer price of the stock itself (not the last) This is the price whoever buys your put will have to pay for the stock to hedge their position. Are you trying to sell the put under the intrinsic (and by how much) price based on the offer price of the stock? Also, what is the stock...

Just because the quote market is wide, it doesn't mean the "real" market is wide too. Look at the corresponding calls. If they have no value, your put is worth parity. To sell, offer a 1 lot a few cents above parity and if not filled lower it. You can lower the price every few seconds, no...

You're missing the point of what I am saying. Again, you are treating a covered call as something different from a short put of the same strike. You are saying is if you are bullish you should sell a covered call but what you seem to mean is you should sell an out of of the money covered...

Not really an accurate comparison between a cash secured put and a covered call as you are using different strikes. You are comparing selling a 10 put vs a 15 strike covered call. A covered call and a cash secured short put of the same strike are synthetically the same thing. You are not...
