As far as I know, only retail platforms do those calculations. The professional platforms don't want the responsibility to make the calculations, because margin can change.

The dividends are priced into the options. You don't have to do anything.

That would depend on the country. If we're allowed, yes. Shot me an e-mail with some information about your firm and I'll give you a call tomorrow midday (EST). Bob rmorse@victorsecurities.com
