Hey Don, Quick question. Do you allow your traders to trade equity options? Specifically, in this market environment where volitility is the underlying theme, trading long option straddles and strangles has proven to be very successful for me. Can traders leverage up to a million with option straddles? Thanks in advance.
Momo your lack of vocabulary may be the reason for the language, however you and your "real" traders most likely cuss in public forums due to your anger over enormous drawdowns. Have a nice Thanksgiving
Our traders can certainly buy options (up to 25% of their account balance), and do "one to one" long short positions, sure. Don
your are correct I am a fucking adult who makes my own choices so I should fucking cuss as often as I can fuck it felt good to type cusswords on my keyboard so a bunch of people I may or may not know will now hopefully think I am not a wuss it is one thing to say fuck or shit or whatever, it is another to take your time to type these words
How does this work? If I come to the firm with 50k, I can only be exposed to 12.5k in options? What do you mean by "one to one"? No ratio spreads, etc?
You can spend 25% of your equity buying options if, for some reason, you choose to. We don't allow ratio spreads or excess short options at this time. Don
