Good day, If someone could take a look at the MReq on EW3V8 2110/1800 -2/+3 put spread?
I am getting $1305.00 which seems 2.5-3 times too high. Credit of $237.50.

Thanks, Ky

That is more inline with my thought process. I need to make a call!

I hope that call is to a new broker because ToS will not lower your margin requirement.

This is strange. When first learning the method. I staged trades to see the impact and the MReq was nothing close to what I am getting today. Another broker it may have to be. I appreciate the feedback!

My TOS showed credit of $217.5 and IM of $1267. Deltas with three decimal point precision were -3 and -1 exactly. Sorry for late reply.

Dilip
