“realized profit/loss” is after the trade is closed.
Going live on the first of June
Yeah but if it goes up from 2700 to 2725 I will have a loss anyway
don't
“realized profit/loss” is after the trade is closed.
"unrealized profit/loss" if the trade is still open.
You are not ready, and will destroy your capital.
Don't do it.
LOTS to learn! Decide on your wage, and then EVERY DAY, make yourself a goal:
"Did I learn my wage's worth today??"
If you didn't, keep working.
If you did, go find yourself a beer, come back, and continue working late.
DO NOT go live on June 1.

There is, I think, great wisdom in having a Ready! Fire! Aim! approach to life -- the same sort of thing that observes,
"Don't let the Perfect become the enemy of the Pretty Good."
But the first term there, is "Ready" -- and you ain't. Not by a long shot. NO offense intended, but you've asked about brokers/funding, about the impact of exercised options, and here, about the ramifications of a near-the-money call, two weeks from expiration, and hell -- it's paper, too.
IF YOU PUT REAL MONEY INTO THIS, it will be gone in a whisper. Not even a ripple to mark it's passing. Not even Internet crickets to mark the time....
GONE.
Take the next bunch-of-months, CONTINUE to paper-trade!!!
Your big lesson will be in the kinds of questions you come up with later that don't even occur to you now. TRUST THIS.
