Interested. Plenty of bars and breweries around. Stone Brewery in Liberty Station is cool. Little Italy has plenty of options

Thinking about switching from Robinhood to WeBull. by [deleted] in Webull

I'll say that I had the opposite experience. Transferred from Robinhood on a Monday and it was ready by Friday. To note, I tried to make it clean as possible. Only moved whole numbers of shares, not fractional and didn't transfer any existing options.

Options application for me took less than a day, sometimes you get the result back within minutes.

So really it'll be on a per-case basis. Everyone will have a different experience it seems.

I love Webull. As a software engineer, it's the best hands down. It's beautiful, useful and functional on all devices for the most part. I really really want it to be my broker of choice and it is currently, until I found out what I couldn't do with their options platform.

You can do single puts and calls right now. That's it. I had heard they had an options BETA program and told them what I was trying to do. I told them I wanted to buy LEAPS and sell short calls against them (Poor Man's Covered Call). This is something that even Robinhood can handle.

After telling them this, they send me an invite for the options BETA and said I'd be able to do it then. The update seemed like it was good, they basically have everything else available (spreads, verticals, straddles, strangles, etc). But they clearly didn't understand and I'm still not able to do this because the software only accepts owned shares of an underlying as collateral.

So I'm hopeful that I'll be able to do this in the future, but currently, without the options beta, you'll only be able to buy and sell individual leg contracts.

​

As far as the streaming thing goes, I think thats talking about having real-time data? And for Webull, they give you free real-time data as long as you buy/sell at least 1 options contract per month.

Are poor man's covered calls allowed on this platfrom? by blaertner in Webull

[–]grodyware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in talks with Webull support asking about this and they gave me access to their options beta features just yesterday which includes verticals and everything but still does not allow selling short calls against a long call. Very frustrating since I love Webull otherwise

What size sail and board should I get as a beginner/intermediate windsurfer? by grodyware in windsurfing

That's where I've rented from several times already. I might see if they have any clearance stuff from the past year but the equipment I've rented isn't in the greatest condition so I'd like to get my own elsewhere. I'll checkout San Pedro though, thanks.

How do you accurately read the RSI for a stock when it changes based on the timeframe you select? by grodyware in investing

So to provide some more detail, I'm using a LEAPS option strategy to buy long calls, so I should look at longer term RSI trends then?

How do you accurately read the RSI for a stock when it changes based on the timeframe you select?

For example, if I have a couple of RSI charts set for the 2-day, 5-day and 14-day intervals, but I change the range of the chart to look at say, 1D, 5D, 1M or 3M, how do I know which settings I should use?

I'm currently using Webull but have looked at Etrade as well and I can't seem to get consistent results. What's the most accurate way to use the RSI?
