Another self-proclaimed expert then, are we? Do you seriously think that just because you come in here with carefully constructed insult, that you think is so highly intelligent and makes you look smart (it doesn't) that you have some kind of authority in trading? Frankly, when I have a trade that made profit, and then my brokers takes issue with it, I call that suspicious. Anyone pretending that it's not are the foolish ones. Tastytrade in my opinion, are NOT professionals, otherwise they would understand that option spread trades are DEFINED RISK, paid for upfront. And assignment risk on cash-settled options, which is what I was trading, does not exist. So yes, the amount of ignorant people on here never ceases to amaze me. I shall await your no doubt, highly thought-out, well-timed, and remarkably intelligent response.
