Yes, we do and most FCMs do.

Yes, the assignment would close your short stock.

Short Stock + Short Put + Long Call on the same strike and expiration is a reversal. After you put it on, if short term, your only risk is pin risk. Your expenses are borrow costs and any possible dividends.

OK. You done your research. This is your best pick. Why limit you upside for a small amount of Premium? Why not look to have winners to offset the times your picks do not work out?

Yes. the net long and net short options affect your balance, not your equity. You can call me if you have other questions. You earn no interest with Lightspeed/Wedbush on those.

When a customer SELLS an option the proceeds of the transaction would become part of the cash balance of the account.

I do not quite understand why anyone would look at the options for a stock trading under $1, but here are the closing markets from today on Lightspeed Trader.

This is the latest margin file. We use this.

This is my 2 cents from what I know about Futures accounts. When you buy or sell a future, cash does not leave the account like when you do that with stocks. If your account has $100,000, and you want to buy a T-bill for $90,000 to get interest you can. You want to avoid your equity dropping to...

I understand how this works with equity options and index options, but I did not think it would work with a futures account. A BOX spread is an UDS but I would not find them on CQG. CME Direct has RFQ so you can send whatever you want.

What is the benefit of a box spread in an option on a future? CME Direct which very few brokers offer allows any spreads, even outside User Defined Spreads (UDS).

I'd be more than happy to discuss that directly, but if excessive margin is your number one concern, Cannon Trading offered lower margin above.

Not us. We top out at 50% using CQG.

Good thing I don't have a farm. :rolleyes:

You can request that your broker contact the option exchange and request adding strikes. That is not an RFQ. I'm not aware of any Equity/option software today that sends RFQs and if they did, it would enter an option dark pool and get responses from participates. I know NITE before they went out...

Yes I can.

The post's question was not, should I invest in HFs or and PE. The question was when to exit. Just because someone is an Accredited Investor, it does not make them all knowing about risk/returns, estate planning, taxes etc. It certainly does not tell them when they were wrong to invest in...
