I'm not the best person to ask that. I'm not a fan of those props firms. I was in one for a year and was not happy back in 2010. I would stick with a customer account with less leverage or learn futures where there is natural leverage. It sounds self-serving as that is what we offer but it is...

Now to respond to your questions. #1. JBO prop firms don't care but traditional prop want to see a track record or that you have some type of strategy they are interested in, usually with a unique data set or process. They prefer systematic trading. #2. Yes, JBO Prop. #3. Not a question, but...

Hi ronnym789, sorry to hear about your struggle but happy to hear you are better. First, understand that not all prop firms are set up the same and have the same goals or generate profits from the same source. Joint Back Office-JBO-prop-These are broker-dealers that take your money as first loss...

Good morning schizo, You should either speak to your FCM rep or call the CME. If you only trade ES, there is a less expensive lease I think called IOM. I also believe you will not get that Individual Member Rate unless you buy a full seat. Matt responded to your other questions. One other...

Please email or call me for anything I can help with.

Not by my PC, so i’ll Give u a quick response. PM is meant to be a risk based margining system, so the OCC will shock a single stock hedged or not, part of a portfolio or not.

Would you like to re-ask?

His position would be hedged with an ITM call.

My mistake. I thought you wanted to buy stock+buy put. Buy stock and sell ITM put is not a hedge. You would get the dividend on the stock and be at risk on both.

No. Buying a put with stock before a Dividend and then holding until after would create a loss for the option/stock positions that you will get back with the Dividend. If you are long stock and short a DITM call, where the put has little or no value, you get to keep the dividend with no...

These metrics do not apply to all. You will have to develop what works for you based on your strategy and comfort level.

I’m not aware of quarterly options. I expect they are monthly and 9:30am ET. Call the CME or your broker right now and ask to confirm.

There are weeklies, end of the month and the regular monthy. (And Monday, Wednesday)You can see the all here. https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500_contractSpecs_options.html?optionProductId=138&optionExpiration=138-U9#optionProductId=138 The monthly is labeled...

Or use another broker that has risk tool settings.

I understand what you are looking for. I can’t help with that. I suggest another path. Consider future’s. You get a lot of leverage, more than a prop firm. The account is 100% yours. You can trade any hours that fit and you can start with $5000 USD.

Plus tax and tip.

If you do not want to use leverage, see if they can reduce your leverage to 1X. If you do not want to short stocks, have them turn off shorting. No reason to change to cash if your account exceeds $25,000.

No. they are not marginable. What do you mean by "What about with a covered OTM call?"

The general answer is that if the value of the put on the same strike as your ITM call exceeds the values of the dividend including the cost of carrying, you are at risk of an early assignment.

I believe IB has two types of master/sub-accounts. For SMA-Each sub-account is really a master account (Different owners and SS#s) but under one manager-the master for control. For one owner-An LP, LLC, individual account etc, where there is one "owner" but you want to segregate strategies...
