Can some soul tell me how to identify if I am using any margin money on Charles Schwab? I have multiple short positions, options contracts (written), and long positions. I have been on call with Schwab for 45 mins and have gotten 3 different answers. Which exact number on the app or website do I look to make sure what’s the margin I am using? Want to make sure I wire the money right away.

I thinks it’s in the Balances section. I believe you technically have to use margin for short positions.

Yup

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month
2) Technology has issues with rates, valuations, and supply chains for chips, so this could be heavy on the indexes
3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place

Option 1: sell puts which protects from further downside but locks my money/caps upside in case we do see recovery?

Option 2: buy shares which doesn't cap my upside in case recovery starts next 2 weeks but risk further downside?

Option 3: ???

A lot of folks, this bowl included, are getting a reality check at the moment, which i think is good for learning experiences. Can’t call yourself an “investor” but the second you see a position fall +20-30% start to question or panic sell. However, if this is you, and your equity position was initiated off a whim or a blind recommendation, I struggle to feel any sympathy lol especially if you were someone buying stocks (MGNI for example) when they were approaching ATH
