Whoever invented options on futures....

 

Lol. True pekolo, true.

 

Isn't it how funds make money? Gamble with investors' funds?

 

And what would be the alternative according to you?
Every shareholder of the fund to trade on its own? And does it then also count as gambling? And what if he/she isn't a trader, hasn't time for trading?...

 

No alternative, that's the smartest way to profit from randomness, aka run a casino.

 

Yes. And as pointed out numerous times you cannot use collected premium as margin until the trade is over. Expiration or offset.

 

BTW, unfortunately live fills are much less attractive on IB.

 

What do you mean by that? Can you give an example?
