When adding positions you do need to be careful to not step on your previous ones. The end position is the same, it is just harder to visualize what you now hold. You wanted to hold 3x 7000/7010 bear call and 4x 6990/7000 bear call. What you have is 1x 6990/7000 bear call and 3x 6990/7010 bear call. Did IBKR group the second one as a -3x bull call? That is very odd.

IBKR is the only platform you should be considering. But, you definitely have to know what you're doing, it's not for newbies. Lowest commissions, exchange fees can be rebated, interest paid on your long positions borrowed for short trades (great for enhancing covered calls), no commission on assignments, highest interest paid on cash and lowest interest charged on debit positions, can easily place covered calls, bull/bear spreads, Condors, Butterflys, etc. and can see your % success instantly with their charting software. You can ever set up a paper trading account to check them out. If you don't understand any of the above stay with the higher fee, handholding platforms.

The bank probably buys normal calls in US in the background, then just collects the difference. Though I'm not sure why he does it this way, when EU brokers normally offer US options market. I have Saxo and IBKR and both do, one only needs to pass some BS questionnaire (retail "protection").

If you’re coming from crypto and just want to start buying stocks, I’d keep it straightforward. I personally use Interactive Brokers (IBKR) because fees are low and you get access to pretty much any US stock (and international ones too), but I’ll admit the platform has a learning curve. If you want something more traditional and hands-off, Schwab or Fidelity are both solid, well-established choices with good customer support and simple setups. Or, if you're outside the US, if you want IBKR-level market access but a bit more support, Mexem is also worth a look since it runs on IBKR’s infrastructure but feels a bit more approachable.

If I need a sizable chunk of cash, then I can always take out a margin loan against my BRK and VOO positions and carry forward the taxable deduction from the interest payments to offset future capital gains. If I wanted to be fancy, then I could do a carry trade with the Swiss franc and pay sub-1%/year in interest through IBKR for a margin loan at today's rates. Using a margin loan for index-based equities is often more advantageous than an income-based portfolio. Foremost, I control when I realize capital gains. I can thus wait for a time, like this year, when tax rates are lower than normal to sell shares and pay off that loan. I can, alternatively, just keep rolling the loan as long as brokerage and FINRA thresholds are met. My beneficiaries can take advantage of the stepped-up basis for the equities to pay off the loan without realizing any taxable event for capital gains. With an income-based portfolio, there's no such option, since the dividends are directly realized each time that they are paid. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the annualized gains provided by indexes, like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100, often outperform the gains and dividends for income-based portfolios. So, this incentivizes just buying, holding, and borrowing against shares in the long term.

Mentions:#API#IBKR

I mostly use TOS for trading options and equities but I have a few things that I automate with IBKR. I found it quite a bit less painful than the other platforms to use their API, but maybe that’s just me. If you’re using an agent to build this, though, should be pretty easy. Codex 5.2 or Opus could probably one shot this with natural language.

CSP Question: Why does it seem to be so difficult to get approval for -cash secured- puts? When I started, I had fidelity and E-Trade. Fidelity approved my level for CSPs, E-Trade did not and continues to deny it (even after being approved for a margin account). I opened an IBKR account and they too will not allow me to sell puts. I'm just curious as to why? Why can I buy a stock and sell a call, but not sell a put to potentially buy a stock?

Mentions:#IBKR

> If it matters, I'm in IBKR, and I'm building my spreads manually, not by selling a combo. That's the cause. Also, is the account RegT or PM? If it's PM, that would also explain why the initial margin requirement on the short put varies. What's the margin requirement on a short put typically, as a percentage of the full assignment value? For example, if the 6900p requires 69k in initial margin and the account is RegT, that would be a 10% initial margin requirement. Compared to what you are seeing now?

One way is to use the tiered fee structure on IBKR pro (if available) and buy/sell short term bond funds like sgov, outright bonds, etc (margin approach). Why? IBKR interest rates aren't "good"; they're just less bad than most others. With Treasury bill rates around 3.9%, a 50k IBKR account holding $25k USD in the securities segment earns 0.942% pa. In fact, IBKR has this exact example on their public web page as of today, 2026-01-25: * https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/pricing-interest-rates.php If taking a nearly 300 bps penalty were acceptable (out of 390!), then it wouldn't make sense to ask the question at all, so "just use IBKR's great interest rates" isn't an acceptable answer. It's also helpful to sidestep the issue as much as possible by learning how to use the market to manage cash (eg, covered calls versus cash secured puts, box spreads, etc), so then you are getting close to the market rate on nearly all of your account value all the time in how the trades are structured

New to options. I've been selling SPX 0DTEs put credit spreads for the last couple of months, but I'm starting to worry that I might not have been assessing my risks properly. In normal time, the margin requirements are less or equal to my credit spread's max loss. Considering it is a European option, is it still possible that the margin requirements during stressed times will somehow exceed the max loss? If it matters, I'm in IBKR, and I'm building my spreads manually, not by selling a combo. Thanks a lot

It is a smart move to look for ways to protect your savings in a more stable environment. Using a US LLC for investment purposes is a common strategy, though it does add a few layers of paperwork compared to a personal account. Since you already have the LLC and a Chase bank account, you have already cleared the hardest hurdles. Here is the ELI5 (Explain Like I'm Five) process for moving into the stock market. 1. ⁠The Correct Process (Step-by-Step) Step A: Choose an Entity Account When you sign up for a brokerage, you must not select a Personal or Individual account. You must select Entity, Organizational, or Corporate account. Why? The account must be in the name of your LLC, not your name. The brokerage will ask for the LLC’s Employer Identification Number (EIN). Step B: Prepare Your Golden Documents Brokerages are very strict with foreign-owned companies because of Know Your Customer (KYC) laws. You will need: Articles of Organization: The paper from the state where you formed the LLC. Operating Agreement: This is crucial. It must clearly state that you are the Authorized Signer or Manager with the power to trade stocks. EIN Confirmation Letter (CP 575): The letter the IRS sent when you got your tax ID. W-8BEN-E Form: This is the tax form for foreign entities. It tells the IRS that your LLC is owned by a foreigner so they apply the correct tax rules (and avoid double taxing you if a treaty exists). Step C: Link the Bank Account Once approved, you will link your Chase Business account. Most brokers use ACH transfers (which are free and take 1–3 days) or Wires (which are instant but usually cost $20–$30). 2. Recommended Brokerages for Foreign-Owned LLCs Not all brokers like working with foreign-owned LLCs. Some (like Robinhood or Vanguard) often require the owners to be US residents. Here are the big three for your situation: Interactive Brokers (IBKR): Generally considered the best choice for international users. They have the most experience with foreign entities and offer access to global markets (London, Tokyo, etc.), not just the US. Charles Schwab: Very reputable and has a dedicated Schwab One International division. They provide excellent service but the application for an LLC is usually a paper/PDF form rather than a 5-minute online click. J.P. Morgan Self-Directed (Chase): Since you already bank with Chase, you can open an investment account directly through them. It is convenient because you can see your bank balance and stocks in the same app. 3. Common Pitfalls to Avoid The Form 5472 Trap: This is the most dangerous part. Even if your LLC makes zero profit, as a foreign-owned LLC, you must file Form 5472 and Form 1120 with the IRS every year. The penalty for forgetting this starts at $25,000. Estate Taxes: If a non-US person dies owning more than $60,000 in US assets directly (or through a disregarded LLC), the US can take up to 40% in Death Taxes. Many people use a Blocker Corporation or specific insurance to avoid this. Withholding on Dividends: The US will automatically take 30% of any dividends your stocks pay out. If your country has a tax treaty with the US, you can lower this to 15% or 0% by (NOT financial advice just my opinion of what I would do in your shoes.

So I don't really buy bonds myself, but I know with IBKR you need to apply to have trading pensions permissions for bonds. So it'll depend on your broker. So if you have bond trading permissions, you can search through a vast amount of available bonds, prices, and yields. In tradingview I found Brazilian 10 yr bond BR10Y which has a yield of 13.783% right now. So, step 1 would be to get trading permissions from your broker to buy bonds or transfer to one that allows it, and step 2 would be to find the bond you're looking for and purchase it. Call your broker if you need specific help on how to do it.

Idk I give HOOD a forward PE of 37.5, assuming it can average its EPS to 0.70 a quarter (yes this month may come shy of that). The average analyst forecast is putting Hood at $2.46 annual eps for 2026, so its not an giant leap to $2.80 considering HOOD has a history of beating estimates. However, 37.5 is still high if you’re benchmarking a traditional bank, and still not “cheap” versus something like IBKR. But HOOD isn’t a pure bank or a pure broker, it’s kind of the best of both, plus they’re layering in new surfaces like prediction markets. Which I think is going to be huge in the next two earnings reports since NFL, NBA, and UFC are pretty jam-packed right now. Additionally, their mobile first approach and brand recognition has made them widely popular among anyone under 30. Sure if we removed all those positives, then we should give the younger IBKR competitor (HOOD) a lower forward PE, likely near 25-28.

It's solid DD Full disclosure I entered at $11.41 Here's the basics of why I'm in it. Has predictable daily volume of 1.3-1.6million shares with no high volume days in last 30 days. Anomalous ownership per IBKR: 6.7% (5% Is Pfizer) Strategic ownership 107% Institutional ownership, not including the recent ownership increase from 3.6 mill - 5.4 mill shares by Blackrock on their 13G filed today so 110%ish 3. Insider accumulation: 1,557,500 shares on Jan 6th 4. Shorted shares: 21,469,843, days to cover 14, percentage of float shorted 33.75%, price at time of report $8.18 5. Massive cup with handle materialized at open 4 days ago on a dark horse run up, catching the short sellers off guard. 6. With no regular retail panic sellers or profit takers they have not been able to escape, with only 263,361 shortable shares left to fight with. 7. For the last 4 days shorts have thrown practically everything but the kitchen sink at the SP trying to contain it. Meanwhile the institutional investors just buy back the shares they lent them back and hold them. Short volume for the last 4 trading days. Friday 68.6% Monday 57.8% Tuesday 61.47% Today 37.52% 8. Fully funded through 2028, no open dilution in place, with 2 phase 3 assets providing data readouts between now and then. I feel this stock could quickly meet its median price target of $21 per share and could (with the appropriate investors providing the right leverage) run for a multiple day multi bagger

**Institutional background here (14 years).** You are correct on the filing (SR-FINRA-2025-017), but I need to temper your expectations on the "Monday Feb 23rd" date. In the regulatory world, there is a massive difference between **Approval Date** and **Implementation Date.** Here is the "Fine Print" that retail traders are missing: **1. The "Intraday Margin" Catch** They aren't just "deleting" the PDT rule; they are replacing it with a **"Real-Time Intraday Margin"** standard. * **Old Way:** "Do you have $25k? Yes? Okay, trade whatever you want." (Lazy Risk Management). * **New Way:** "Does this specific trade exceed your real-time buying power based on the volatility of the asset?" (Active Risk Management). * **The Implication:** This requires brokers to run sophisticated real-time risk engines. The big boys (IBKR, Schwab) can do this. The discount brokers might struggle. **2. The "House Rule" Loophole** Just because FINRA *removes* the $25k requirement doesn't mean your broker *has* to. * Brokers are allowed to set "House Rules" that are stricter than FINRA. * Many brokers might keep the $25k minimum for another 6-12 months simply because they don't want to spend the money upgrading their risk engine to calculate intraday margin for $2,000 accounts. **3. The Timeline Reality** * **Feb 23 (Target):** This is just the deadline for the SEC to *approve* the rule change. * **Implementation Period:** Once approved, FINRA usually gives member firms **180 days** to update their systems. **My Prediction:** The rule passes in February, but you won't see the $25k limit actually disappear from your app until **Q3 or Q4 2026.** Great news for the long term, but don't quit your day job on Feb 24th expecting to day trade with $500.

IBKR is arguably the best broker, unless you value the gamification of stocks that Robinhood has popularized and many other services have copied.
