    Destriero - Butterfly Trades

    deltaf0rce-Portfolio margin relies on the OCC TIMS method. It segregates positions into product classes. Having one position in say AAPL will not get an offset from a broad-based index where AAPL is highly correlated. You can go to the OCC website and load any position and see what the OCC...

    Petition to the NFA to reduce high tax/fees micros

    Wow-I did not provide my opinion, just facts. Each asset class has regulatory fees. That is just a fact, not my opinion. As I stated early, you can avoid the NFA fee with a membership on the CME and get lower clearing fees too.

    Petition to the NFA to reduce high tax/fees micros

    I understand you feel that way but it is consistent with equity and option trades that incur the SEC Section 31 and TAF fee which support the SEC and FINRA budget.

    Petition to the NFA to reduce high tax/fees micros

    If you are doing a lot of volume, you can reduce your clearing fee by leasing a seat on the CME. When you lease or own membership, you are also exempt from the NFA regulatory fee.

    Broker Comparisions?

    MidKnight-Sorry but no. We can only offer what Wedbush Futures offers. And, on those exchanges, only liquid symbols with enough open interest to meet WBF's risk requirements.

    Portfolio Margin Risk Disclosure Understanding

    I wish I could be of more help, but the Language that they’re using it’s above my pay grade. Every broker has disclosure documents. We have additional disclosure documents for PMA. I have never read more than a few lines of either one. I accept them as necessary to open an account anywhere.

Because a PMA provides more leverage and a lower margin on naked options, it has more risk in what you can do, not more from your broker. The PM disclosure is required to...

    Borrows Fees and Short Availability on LightSpeed

    When the broker I worked for back in early 2016 was shutting down, I basically wanted a job. I was 56 years old and figured where ever I ended up, I would start anywhere and work my way up. I applied for a number of jobs at a few clearing brokers and IB was one. I applied for about 6 roles, all...

    What are some techniques to get over the fear of making trades.

    I agree with formikatrading-start small, really small. Make decisions like the trades are larger.

    Why is ABNB not trading?

    Might be soon. I see an indication of 145. Keeps changing.

    Why is ABNB not trading?

    It means it is a new issue listed on NASDAQ and they are waiting to open the stock. This is common. No stocks start at 9:30 am on the IPO day.
