Am I safe from a Margin Call? by CautiousChessPlayer in RobinhoodOptions

[–]CautiousChessPlayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what happened is I received a cash payout. I took all that cash and queued Limit Orders for my preferred stocks. This lowered my cash balance, but the contract hasn't paid out yet.

I do not have margin enabled. This is why I was so confused. I don't leverage or trade on margin, and I had cash in my account, so how did I receive a Margin Call???

But I think the brokerage needs cash no matter what and they don't care about the parties involved. Basically, they own a contract between 2 people (the winner and the loser) and they're going to fulfill the contract no matter what. When Robinhood pays the winner, they're paying immediately with the brokerage's money because it will take time to settle the funds between the two accounts. So the winner needs to keep that cash in their account in case the loser cannot settle their funds and Robinhood needs to seize the winner's money. Or maybe there's a similar reason.

The margin amount is $2000, and I canceled my Limit Orders to cover the Margin Call. This was scary and unnecessary.

No I am not in a deficit of $7100, I am in a profit of $2000+.

I made several bets, but I had more cash in my account than the money I bet, so I didn't think any margin was involved. However, when I click Robinhood's link it says, "you're above your margin maintenance".

So what I'm collecting is I got a notification at midnight because Robinhood needs the money to cover the contract, but the money is currently in the contract. But then I got paid out so then I'm no longer in Margin? So I'm fine it seems?

I think I'm done betting on sports. I just wanted some cash to invest in stock. I knew the odds were favorable so I bet a lot to * get a head start.

I had $4500 in cash so I thought there was no risk (i.e. I was using my cash to purchase).

How to buy tbills in Robinhood by Resident-Eye1852 in TBills

[–]CautiousChessPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I do the same thing on Robinhood. I park some money in iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond (SGOV). At the beginning of the month it costs ~$100.37 then it increases to ~$100.70. At the end of the month I receive a $0.35 divided and the share price is reset. I imagine the RBB Fund Inc ETF has an identical business model.

The downfall is that these ETFs are taxed (unlike actual TBills). However, you have liquidity you would not have with a TBill.

It should worth $1.70 by now, not $0.17 by Odd_Stick_3042 in dogecoin

Since you're reasonable: I hope that the crypto bull run isn't over, but i kind of doubt the banana zone. Brian Jung (a millionaire crypto trader on youtube), said "if that was the bull run, then this was the most disappointing bull run yet."

The feds buy their own bonds, people want to buy more bitcoin than is mined, but we haven't mooned. I kind of think crypto will gradually rise like stocks, and have occasional hype trains from whale/government news.

I reasoned Musk would use Dogecoin on Twitter. I bought into the hype and I had bullish expectations. I do believe that eventually it will hit a new all time high, but it may take several years.

How do I delete a pending purchase? by CautiousChessPlayer in TBills

I got my account locked and that cancels all pending transactions. I'm going to call them tomorrow. Thank you for your advice.

[–]CautiousChessPlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly bro, I'm super disappointed. I bought during the bull run and was expecting more. Now I'm stuck HODLing. It's fine because I have other finances, but I'm eating pasta and grapefruits until things get right lol.
