I get what you're saying but I think the idea is that you have some downside protection plus you take in a small profit. Say on weekly options...
I'm looking at an ITM covered call but can't figure out the profitability: Luckin Coffee Inc. LK 42.22 2020 21-FEB call strike 41.0 1.7 mid If I...
Whilst I agree with that, it's also unlikely someone is going to get funded 50:50 from a prop firm.
I get what you're saying. It's not really a 50k account, it's more like a 5k account. I mean you could do that... Get the profit and leave. You...
