Hi
Many thanks

I will look at the instructions to set this up.


1) Is naked selling of options allowed ? For eg- Shorting only puts and Calls?

2) Do I have to sell a put or a call option along with a Future ?

1. Through AMP, the answer is no.

2. Check with your broker on this.

I am going to trade using a separate broker for options as Amp doesnt allow shorting options.

1) So can I please clarify that to trade options through CQG as trading platform service, I first will have to open a broker account with CQG and then follow the steps from your first message ?

2)Other alternative is to find another broker who allows options selling via CQG trading platform ? Can you please suggest some if you are aware of any ?

Thanks

1. You can trade futures options through CQG, Rithmic or Interactive Brokers. All of these services are supported by Sierra Chart.

2. We do not know what brokers support this.
