Pink, Think about Preferred for reasonable options. They're slick & quick, low commissions. Here's the formula for maintenance requirements [which you referred to as "margin"]: At the-money [option strike = market price]: 20% of market In-the-money [you're winning] DEDUCT $1/share off the 20% down to a floor of 10% of the market price. Out-of-the-money [your losing] ADD $1 for each dollar you're behind. EXAMPLES, assuming market price is $100: 110 put, 20% of 100 = 20 + 10 = 30.00 90 put, 20% of 100 = 20 - 10 = 10.00 The broker holds the premium until the option is closed or expires, but you get interest on that money. I enjoy the way you can drop down an option chart in a trice and trade right off the chart at Preferred. Your maintenance requirement is updated daily too, and you can read it on one of their screens.
