To be able to answer this I'd need to know the number of calls & puts sold, the current market price of the options, and the price of the underlying. Going back to the positions you listed in your first question on this thread you'd have requirements of this: Naked put -40 NVDA 21 puts req = 20,896 (522.40 each) Naked put -20 NVDA 22.5 puts req = 12,488 (624.40 each) Short strangle -10 NVDA 24 puts + -10 NVDA 22.5 calls req= 7,874 (7,504 from puts + 370 mkt price from calls) I paired the calls with the 24 puts because they carried the highest requirement of all the positions (750.40 each) but the calls really could have been paired with 10 of any of the puts you listed because the calls carry the lowest naked requirement of all the positions listed (279.40 each) and as part of a strangle or straddle the market price of $370 would be added on to the naked put requirement. You'd have a total of 41,258 in requirements for these positions. Hope that helps
Never found the Prime Options Calculator online... Thinkor swim is limited to a certain amount of capital OptionsLab wasnt very helpful I think Ive succesfully modeled it into excel, but for complex positions would like to have a place to compare... p.s. what are the requirements like for ADRs and ETFs? Specially leveraged ones? J
