QUESTION:
My only question is I want to trade R Option. How much liquid do I need in my account to follow that strategy, would you say $500K?
ANSWER:
The key is to have portfolio margin and to be able to short naked option, for that interactive brokers requires 110k to upgrade to a portfolio margin. At Randbots, there are clients that started with 110k to have Portfolio Margin. If you trade manually you can managed the risk differently.
