    I think I'll sell a Aug30 20 call tomorrow...IBKR prices wiped but my spreadsheet estimates at 103% IV that it would be worth about .47*1500=$705. My break even would go down to 19.26 from 19.75 and I would get out of MARA and be able to move everything over to IBKR.

  9. I know its a total racket. If I waited to tomorrow it could have cost me -$160 lol. This is why I only sell options typically...buying options is a fools errand.
