Any brokers that don't charge double margin for short options?
I opened an account with TradeStation, and as soon as I started trading short options on futures, my margin requirement was doubled. Does anyone know of any brokers that don't charge double margin for having short options?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Hi, thanks for mentioning us. We would love to have you...we charge exchange minimum margin. So you are not upcharged, and you will receive portfolio margin (you won't be charged margin on both sides of a short strangle, etc.).

For option selling/trading accounts we clear all of our business via Gain Futures (a division of Stonex...previously FCStone).

Decarleytrading sent the request to transfer my Tradestation account on the 14th of October but everything in the account is still with Tradestation. Does anyone know if there is a legal maximum time limit for fulfilling a transfer request?
