    I use Etrade and I wanted to know what your margin requirements were.

    TSLA 40%
    ETSY 35%
    SPY 20%
    K 20%

    I'm only asking because I saw a video where a guy in Canada was only paying 15% on naked ETSY options and if I can get a better return on my options and free up some cash, I'd love to do that.

    Schwab:

    TSLA 65%
    ETSY 50%
    SPY 30%
    K 30%

    EDIT: Okay, I misunderstood your question. I re-read the original post, and I see that you are asking about naked options. The data I posted above is maintenance margin for long stock.

    The Canadian broker may be part of a company which operates both in Canada and the US.
