Im fairly new to trading. I use TD AMERITRADE.. I want to buy 50 shares of CHK but when I review order it gives me a message “Please be aware that this security has special margin requirements” What happens if I place the order with those margin requirements?

If I write a sell to open option what is the fees? Is it just the $9.99 commission rates or more or less? Thanks
I wasn’t talking about ***** options. I’m talking about if I hold shares and write a call option on them. Also, it doesn’t show any fees on the TD Ameritrade website for the fees so I was wondering if anybody knows. If anyone knows the fees for any other broker, please tell me thanks.

I use MB Trading, a direct-access broker that only charges $0.01 per share (minimum of $1 per trade) and offers pretty comprehensive services, but I’m interested in seeing who other people trade with. Please don’t answer Scottrade or Ameritrade or any other company that charges more than $5 per trade.

I want to do investing online. Are there any good alternatives to TD Ameritrade, assuming I live in Canada? I haven’t seen any online trading like this with Scotia McLeod, etc.

Thanks to those who answer!

Tesoro asked:


“The last day to trade equity option contracts expiring on Saturday, 01/20/2007 is Friday, 01/19/2007. If you do not have sufficient funds/buying power to cover potential exercises or assignments, please deposit funds or close out your position before close of market on 01/19/2007. Please be aware that TD AMERITRADE reserves the right to close out any option positions at any time on the final trading day prior to expiration that would pose risk if exercised or assigned. Any equity option that is in-the-money by $0.05 or more at expiration will be automatically exercised.”

I UNDERSTAND the entire message except for the last line. Why would any equity option that is in the money by $.05 or more be automatically exercised??? I don’t understand that at all.

Thank you.
