So I profited 820 dollars on a deep ITM options spread and received this email from Tastytrade

Would you care to meet in person and talk about my family that way, right in front of me?
If you do please send me a PM and we'll arrange a meeting.

 

I think my dog has an ear infection. He woke me up at 3:15 local (creepy time if you watch horror).

 

I'm 6'3" 240. PM incoming.

Edit: sent. Google my info.

 

Brokers don’t take the other sides of trades. They facilitate orders and take some settlement and default risk. Brokers will mitigate the settlement and default risk. They don’t care if the trade makes or loses money.

I bet my broker wouldn’t have a problem if I traded this but I could carry the positions naked and so settlement annd default isn’t an issue. If I tried to do it with a million contracts they would because I would be a massive settlement risk.

 

Ugh. My dog had so many we had to get her ear canal removed.

 

It's euro, cash settled. Sure there is pin risk.

 

lol!

 

let's try again:

why is OP allowed to trade then?
Shouldn't that trade have been blocked in the first place if it was against the broker's policy?

 

bc HIS dad didn't pull out.
