If approved for Option Level 1, and you have enough cash in your account for the net, A buy-write is certainly allowed in both an individual account and an IRA. I’m not sure why you think this is a tax question or why you would certainly lose money.

When I had my own BD, I had a profit-sharing plan. I shut down that BD when I was 50 years old. I went through a number of years with materially lower income in my transition to sales. During those years, I would move blocks of cash to my Roth IRA, paying a very low tax rate. Today I'm 60 years...

Using NASDAQ or ARCA, your order is live from 4am to 8pm. We do not stage orders on these routes for later execution. Give me a call or send me an email if I'm not clear.

I will let others rate us, but on Lightspeed Trader you can use ARCA and NASDAQ from 4am to 8pm ET. You can take money out of your account through a request for a Wire, ACH or Check. We are known for fast order entry and fast execution.
