  1. You know, I spent about five minutes on your website, and when I clicked demo it just took me to a bot that wanted my email address. The site is pretty cluttered, too. Just a FYI.

  4. I had some trouble finding out how to get margin on ES options spreads, but before I get to that, I have to ask: no VIX options? If not, that's a deal killer.

    Hi @SoCalOptionsWriter , VIX options are considered to be on the "equity side" and are not traded as future options but rather as equity options, hence we don't offer VIX options. Happy to assist with the ES option spreads and margins if you are still interested.

  6. What about VIX futures? Margin on a short M1 long M2 spread?

    yes on VIX futures.
    Here is a margin example with two different sets. The front month spreads are usually higher margin:

  8. I like the margin on that spread, I'll admit. But I'm having some trouble getting over you size and Boca Raton location. The town's rep is, well, you know. (Btw, I used to live there.) Let me ponder.
