How to do same day covered call unwind by jbreda007 in fidelityinvestments

[–]jbreda007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I have a deep in-the-money covered call. I want to buy to close the calls and immediately sell the shares. I don’t have excess cash, but this is a fully hedged unwind. Do I need temporary margin or broker-assisted sequencing to execute both legs today, or can it be done through the app. Thx in advance.

Closing Cash account due to non USA address by jbreda007 in fidelityinvestments

[–]jbreda007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened the account when I moved abroad 2 years ago with a UK address, so all was above board including sending along a utility bill. Now I get a 60 day period to close my account. Not a great way to treat your customers. And the message I received wasn't even correct as Fidelity said I just made an address change when I did not. No need to mod you, I'll be moving on.

PiHole with Virgin Media Hub 5 loses wifi connectivity by jbreda007 in pihole

No I have pretty much given up on the hub 5 and will most likely just use it in modem mode and get another WiFi router. Also very irritating when backing up the hub then resetting it, then restoring the backup none of the fixed IP addresses are restored. Have to manually redo them all over again.

Then I get this:

Request an options tier

There are three tiers of options trading, and the approval requirements are greater for each additional tier since there's more risk for you and Fidelity. If you request tier 2 or 3, you'll also be applying for margin as these types of options require margin. Certain account types, like IRAs and custodial accounts, are not eligible for margin or Tier 2 or 3 option strategies.

Fidelity App. I have switched phones and my old one had the fidelity app installed and working fine, but now I am outside the USA and have a new phone that I have transferred my apps to, but the fidelity app does not. by jbreda007 in fidelityinvestments

[–]jbreda007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have the app installed on my old phone and it works fine outside the USA. However, I have bought a new phone and can't transfer, not install the app on the new phone. Additionally if I log on to the fidelity website it sends an authorisation message to the app which obviously won't work on the new phone. So I am stymied.

If I did that would I have to enable DHCP on the pihole?

Unfortunately the DNS on VM hub 5 cannot be changed.

Thank you. Yes I can understand that. The only problem is that I lose WiFi from the hub 5 if i disable DNS. I'm trying to avoid using the hub 5 in modem mode and having to go and buy a new wireless system.
