Consider Tastyworks as well. Their commission schedule is better than most. I tested options execution (5+
contract spreads) on some of the heavly traded stocks and every time their execution happened sooner or
TOS never did execute. I do not use IB or Decarley. I believe Tastyworks is getting ready to offer futures options and portfolio margin based on the email reply from them recently.
Can you help answer these questions

Thanks for the reply Skidboot. I did sign up with Tastyworks. They don't allow foreigners to trade futures (yet). They offer limited futures products too.

Has anyone had experience with shorting options via R.J. O'Brien, either directly or through an introducing broker?

That happened to me, but probably was because I shorted options with an expiration greater than 1 year away.

If you don't mind my asking, how much of a quantity limit did they impose on you relative to your account size?

Been struggling to find brokers that allow Option on Futures trading with retirement account. TOS does not.
