Only for stocks to my understanding

I thought you traded via a delaware LLC?

Thank you. How do you calculate the percentage?

Can anyone recommend a tool to crash test a portfolio using black swans type what-if scenarios?

I have asked for the same and been told no. I have since cut down significantly the amount I volume I trade. Have you tried that with IB Prime (institutional)?

I like their Excel DDE actually....not so much the ActiveX. It does what it says.

Wait what? How did you pay 2m in comm?

Not so much offense as annoyance. And that was not particularly directed at you! Look I post a specific question to be told "no" and "zero" or "you don't know what you are doing" when I am looking for more experienced to give their opinion on my case only (as I do whenever I see a situation...

An I may add that I actually know how to make money as well. So please, park any advice that does not relate to my questions on the side for now.

Can you find anything else wrong in my GOOG example? I do not care one bit about IV, greeks or vol (honestly). Plenty of people here do. I may add that a lot of people sound sophisticated, when they actually have no clue! (and I have a PhD. in econometric so moderately qualified to make such a...

So here is an example: 1) You own 1000 shares of google @$1,500 (long shares) = $1.5M paid. 2) You write 10 60-day $1,800 OTM calls for a premium of say 2%. Your borrow rate with IB is 1.5% per year, so will eat 0.25%*maintenance margin (let's call that peanuts for now). 3) You sell 10 60-day...
