    Why do you care about the quality of his posts? More important it draws people out and many of the responses are informative+ are adding new info.

    Baron needs to find a way to hide the threads of people we have on ignore. This idiot starts tons of threads about useless drivel and then argues with a few that don't know about him. It would be one thing if he were actually trying to learn something, but he's not interested and probably not capable.

  6. Yes, right. And I'm of course already in contact with them via the ticket system (webmails).
    I just asked them a final question and will then summarize here.
    Yes, I can confirm that there are also some nullingers among them who have no clue of their job.

  7. You can! That result comes from the Requirements formula for CashCoveredPut at TradeStation (for Cash Accounts the rightmost column).

    The key to getting a good answer is to know how to ask a question.

  9. Right. I try to be very exact, but unfortunately most people don't know even basic maths... :mad:
    For example in this case the real question is: what is the invested basis amount for PnL% calculation? Ie. the buying power requirement.
    Is it the StrikePrice or "StrikePrice minus PremiumReceived"? I think it has to be the second, but almost all people seem to believe it must be the first...
