Post Body

Trying to get clarification on what these amounts indicate when trading naked puts.

If margin cash goes below $0, I assume that I would receive a “house call”. But if I have plenty of “funds available to trade”, I don’t think I would receive a margin call. So, when everything settles the funds in my settlement account “sweep” to eliminate the house call.

Any clarification on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
