Options Selling Margin in the Simulated Environment
Market Rush uses a simplified portfolio-based margin model for short options. Margin is calculated based on the underlying, expiry, option type, strike structure, and whether your short positions are hedged by valid long options.
Defined-risk structures such as valid vertical spreads may receive lower margin treatment, while naked short options generally require higher margin. Margin requirements may also increase on expiry day due to elevated risk conditions.
This is a simulation-specific risk model designed to reflect realistic intraday option selling behavior. It may not exactly match live broker, exchange, or SPAN margin calculations.
