    1. You need options approval . I am not sure how you could trade outside of a margin account. Trading options involes Buying Power ususally Cash, but could be other securities.

      SELL -1 VERTICAL /GCV24:XCEC 1/100 OCT 24 /OGV24:XCEC 2450/2445 PUT @1.10 LMT

      The above trade Selling a 2450 against a 2445 in GCV24 (Oct24) requires about $332 in Buying Power. Question is do you have approval to Sell Put Verticals AND Future Options.
