Large Volume, Short Positions, and Margin Requirements

Modified on Tue, 5 Mar at 10:28 AM

While no specific contract limitations are in place, we regularly monitor accounts for excessive risk exposure and adherence to margin requirements. 

This scrutiny extends to instances such as frequent trading in low-volume contracts or volumes significantly disproportionate to current market activity. 

This also includes maintaining positions that greatly exceed current open interest and holding positions excessively larger than industry-standard margin requirements. (for example: positions exceeding 4 times the account's cash position).

Engaging in shorting large out-of-the-money options with substantial margin requirements is not allowed, and repeated attempts to do so will result in evaluation failure.
