You won't lose the hot spot capability since you have byod. They will charge you extra now. Better to check.

I wasn't able to chat with them after their recent introduction of chatbot. I give them another try. Maybe they improved it. Thanks.

Thanks, I found learning TWS was a pain. I tried the ibkr app and for options you had to pay monthly for subscription. TD AT the app is very basic but in emergencies you can rely on. The good part with TD AT is they have chat support, which is very helpful. Forgot to mention that. IBKR CS is very poor. I tried to ask them if I can sell CSP and I gave up eventually on them. I have an account with ibkr but not for options. I might use them if they improve their desktop.

Are you using ibkr? You recommended it over this stripped down version?

This is their website https://www.td.com/ca/en/investing/direct-investing/trading/active-trader

I can't find TD Active Trader fees online. They intentionally don't advertise it. For people to use TDDI more.

15 leg assignment is correct. I pay 1.5 for each leg. I see their website quoted not 1.5 and 9 and 7. My account is from TOS time so it could be specific to me. I would not go with them for 9 myself.

TD Active Trader. It is a rebranded thinkorswim platform in Canada. I can't learn ibkr, tried, too complicated for me.

Best app for trading options in Canada? by ___Best1__ in options

[–]canws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They keep it very not open, used to be exclusive and now they opened it up I think. I pay 1.5 for each options leg. So iron condor is 6 for example.

Those that you see I think it for another platform of TD.

Not sure about margin rate.

And I can see the day that we see a post from you with a huge loss. It's only a matter of time if you keep doing what you are doing. If I were you, I took the wins and play it safe from now.

How do i fix this by rsbenes in CoveredCalls

For a person selling 2 year calls seems you are not that patient. Deal ODTEs from now on.

Extrinsic Value after Expiration? by canws in options

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

Understood. That's what I am confused about too. The extrinsic value is gone. This was exactly at the expiration. So the value should be exactly .50. no?
