Back on July 19, 2021, I decided to close all my existing positions with LYNX Broker (Interactive Brokers) and start fresh.  After closing all positions and selling off all stock I was left with little more than EUR 8,000. 165 days later on December 31, 2021, I can report $4,729 options income, which translates to about $28.66 daily.  At the start of 2021, I was looking to take about $40,000 in options income for the whole year of 2021. Well, that didn't happen. Now when looking at 2022 I'…

Looking to find additional funds to deposit to avoid margin calls in my brokerage account. Lately, I've been troubled with too many open options trades. I'm holding short naked…
