I believe as options vary in value daily, zero margin consequences been there many times options can be purchased with margin money but once purchased, impact to margin is done and over whatever you paid for the margined option, that amount adds to margin balance you essentially borrowed margin cash to purchase option but afterwards, whether the option rises huge, or declines to nothing, the change has no consequence on margin percent and maintainence levels for the account they split shares to the margin ledger they split options to the cash ledger it is like you have two separate stock accounts I am 95% of this separation and margin implication / Jim
