That's the convention in the US. Normal dividends doesn't change the strikes but special dividends might. Other countries have sometimes different conventions. https://www.theocc.com/webapps/infomemos?number=42298

I'll definitely give some feedback after I get to use it for a few days.

It's $29.99, I contacted Tradier this morning to get the details.

Oh it might be $30, now that you mention it. Either way it's cheap and 100000% worth it over the web interface.

For ATHM, I agree with @NikTam, the plan should be to watch for a turnaround. It's could be a good opportunity to buy a downtrend into positive momentum.

@NikTam I don't see Mar09 for ATHM EDIT: Never mind... You were talking MRVL...

Being non-US resident I successfully opened an account in Tradier 1-2 weeks ago. So I confirm, it can be done. Just contact their support. I transfered a small amount of money to Tradier the day before the market crashed. I found I personally do not like TradeHawk platform as it uses too much CPU. So decided to wait while ONE creates better Tradier support. Andy told me they are testing a beta version with native Tradier integration (no Internet Explorer anymore). This gives some hope ONE + Tradier becames usable solution soon. For now I returned the money to IB (mostly need more margin there, but now is waiting for ONE to better support Tradier as well).

There seems to be some confusion in this thread regarding how brokers earn part of their revenue. In addition to commissions all brokers/market makers/clearing firms also receive rebates from the exchanges for order flow. This is Tradier’s model. They have extremely limited overhead as they do not provide their own platform (and therefore eliminate all the costs associated with developing and maintaining one). They are a small shop with low expenses so the order flow rebate is enough to make them profitable. The lack of platform is solved by their API and outside developers. This is the reason Tradier is not available in Canada for @Kim and others, because Canadian regulators do not allow rebate for order flow. With regard to safety of assets, Tradier holds nothing. They are simply an Introducing Broker to Apex who is the custodian. Therefore, in addition to SIPC protection one should look at the stability of Apex which is very solid.
