The SEC regulation for CPM is $100K. Our minimum is higher. It does not make sense to open an account near $100K and risk conversion to REG-T one morning from a small account draw down. Give me a call and we can discuss it. Bob

Are you asking for the difference between the two exchanges, or how to value a warrant vs an option?

You might want to consider a platform like Instinet TradeSpeed. The platform and data fees all reside at a co-location server with Instinet, and you connect through Citrix. Your internet connection will only slow down what you see, not your trading. Bob

Every broker is different. You'll have to call Monday morning if you don't get any communication of an adjustment, or don't see the position change when you log in monday morning.
