    I'm very confused by something I'm seeing on ONE. VIX is up today about 7.44%, but ONE is reporting SPY IV Chg as -25%. Is anyone else seeing this discrepancy between the VIX and what ONE is reporting for SPY?

    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!

    Ahh, Ok. So I can not make a catch-all statement that "all debit positions do not have margin impact."

    I am curious as to the mechanics of charge to capital given debit strategies. Is it safe to say that no matter how complex a multi-leg option strategy is (even across expiration dates), that as long as it is a debit strategy, the charge to capital / margin requirement is only that debit? Please let me know if this question is unclear.
