Tried to buy some AMZN calls today via a net order at Dreyfus, on a limit, to play a possible bounce. Got the message that my order was rejected, and I'd have to place it with a real broker (due to "AMZN option volatility"), and that only "two CFO's per order would be allowed". Not sure what a CFO is in in this context - maybe it means two tickets .... which might mean that their traders are having trouble keeping up, and are missing trades. Been doing this for a while, and haven't seen this before.
