If you short a stock but the stock price rises above what you are keeping in the margin to cover, you get a margin call for more collateral but what if you also have a call option so the cash you have in margin is still enough to cover by exercising the call option. Do you still get a margin call? Can you still be forced to cover?

Is there any exchange where you can trade “mini” options contracts; that is, contracts that involve fewer than 100 shares? For example, sites like Sharebuilder allow you purchase partial shares of expensive stocks like Google? I am interested in writing covered calls but don’t necessarily want to invest tens of thousands of dollars into a particular stock in order to do so.
I am referring to selling, not buying, calls.

If I buy a call option on natural gas futures (NG) for March, will I be long the March futures contract or the April contract if it exercises.

Basically, I want to do a covered call strategy on NG. I want to buy the nat gas future and sell a deep in the money call.

Thanks!

Ok so I finally applied for options trading on my TD ameritrade account and I was approved for “Level 1″ which is…

“Write covered calls;
write cash-secured puts”

What does that mean? Does that mean I can start buying stock option contracts for any company I want?

I sold an out the money cover call and now it is in the money. Do I have a choice to let it expire in the money this Sat without buying it back (buy to close)? Thanks.

Jay B asked:


I am doing this for a project in school. I sold calls back at the beginning of the school year for corn. I sold 350 Dec calls for 6.75 cents. They currently are trading well over 20 cents. December corn is currently above my 350 strike price.

If Dec corn prices continue to rise, how would I take advantage of this the best I could without buying back my 350 Dec calls for a huge loss? Should I look into 380-400 December puts?
