They have a promotion for a $200,000k deposit, which sounds like free (appx) 2% money (annualized) to me. Anyone do this promotion? Caveats?
they were used as a hedge on a short position of UVXY, which I have not closed?
I'm running about a half a million in a taxable account in California, mostly selling short-term option premium, about half of which is Sec. 1256,...
Trying to judge by return on a Yen option position, and I've always wondered if I should use initial margin, or cheat a little, by using...

Long UVXY? Not my jam.

Ok, first off I know there are a lot of haters for this trade, but I reallly don’t need to hear from them. I’m short about 20% of my account, most...
