Some traders like the volatility and find they need that to make money,

What you are looking for is rare. If someone had it, why would they share it with you? If you have the assets and can handle the risk, I suggest you consider managed futures or a hedge fund. That is what I have done with my savings as I have no time to trade anymore. I'm working with a CTA right...

I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or a real request where you expect a response that will provide you with that? If this is a real question, I suggest you consider an allaoction toward a CTA.

It is my understanding that in general, the SEC investigates “customers” and the SRO, or self regulatory body that the BD or manager that regulates the manager or BD investigates those businesses. That is often FINRA. It can start with a complaint or a red flag during a typical exam.

FYI. I spoke to the CFE. In addition to other questions, I asked about options. They told me that they do plan to add options on the future, not an index on the CBOE. The option will trade on the CFE and settle with the future. No date yet.

I'm not aware of any clearing firm or broker that will execute a buy-in from a margin call before the markets open. They will either allow you time to liquidate that stock or execute a MOO order to get rid of the call. If you are concerned, you should ask for their procedure in an email so you...

You got me there. You just don't have the mindset to play small. If you can't "play big," you are not interested. My expectation are lower than yours.

That is only an IB issue. An option MM trading Bitcoin options will not clear at IB.

Why is that more of a concern than a short call count?

Already has.....18,050.

I would have, back in the day, I would just have played small.

We do at 2X exchange margin.

There is no talk of adding options in the near term.
