New monday, new situation.OK, I paid 60 cents for immediate deposit and the money is already available in IBKR. 21 minutes. Not bad.
With this in margin, I can close the naked sold 790 put without margin deficit message.
Closing both as a strategy still gives me a margin deficit error.
I see no problem with closing the -790 first , since after the -790p is closed, I still own the +900p and can sell it for about 97% of it's value (but I assume this will drop on monday). That ~6K will go back to my cash, and I will have no sold or bought options left, only cash and stock.
TSLA is up in premarket so my margin increased, the -790p is OTM so about 40% green, and the +900p is close to ATM so lost a limited amount of value.
But I’m going to close both, too close for my comfort.
