    Uh not really sure that is appropriate. You have never posted before. Mind if I ask who you are, generally speaking: how much $, experience, knowledge of the OCC's TIMS haircut system, etc?

  5. Well you did offer to answer in a previous post..I have 25 years experience in trading stocks and options but my option activity got caught short after I got divorced so I am a little rusty but so far I have made money and I made a lot of money trading stocks..I also own a mortgage company so my time for studying the fine points of this stuff is limited..I am in sunny and hot Boca Raton Florida ..where are messaging from opt

    TOS is very good for a retail broker. I just want to make sure you understand the leverage provided by Portfolio Margin. It can be extremely dangerous if you don't know what you are getting into. Your margin will be calculated in a very arcane way by the OCC and it can change dramatically from day to day for seemingly no apparent reason depending on what position you have. I think most people agree the test is stupid, I will send you a p.m.
