Hello:

Is anyone using Portfolio Margin on their account? I have done some research, and know that technically, "Individual stock and option positions are tested with +/- 15% price changes" according to broker web sites.

But, as we all know - IV also changes with price changes, and therefore option premiums will change as well. The question then becomes, how are margin requirements for option strategies calculated in a portfolio margin account.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Been a while since I looked at it, but I am pretty sure that ThinkOrSwim looks at the -20% price slice.
