With options, I would consider an "institutional" account one that trades more than 10K per month. Of course, someone that trades much less can end up with higher returns or a higher profit. But I'm trying to get an idea of what % of readers in this forum trade more than that level. Those traders would fall into my target market as an Introducing Broker that offers CPM.
 
portfolio margining is nice but if you're trading that kind of size and you have a sudden move against your positions, your buying power is eaten up very quickly and your account could become restricted, limiting you to close out positions only. i think you have to be extremely careful with this kind of leverage and i don't think anyone here is trading with that kind of capital.

I understand your concern. However, if you want to be a net seller of options, trading in a Reg-T account is very difficult. Also, PM is risk based, Reg-T is cash based. You can have a large position in PM that is hedged with limited risk and take advantage of the leverage, without having a large amount of risk.

yes i agree the leverage can be used very effectively. i got the pm to use for one particular strategy only. if i didn't have the pm i would not be able to put them on.
