TD Ameritrade Account Opening Considerations

Securities account type

TD Ameritrade offers three types of securities accounts: Cash Account, Standard Margin Account, and Advanced Margin Account.。

Opening an account is free and there is no minimum deposit threshold。

Cash Account

Cash Account (Cash Account) can only allow you to use the amount of cash you have to purchase stocks, ETFs, REITs and other securities, and users cannot participate in trading options, futures and other investment products that require financing.。

Standard Margin Account

Margin account (margin account) investors trade margin trading and can create qualified spreads on TD Ameritrade, exchange-traded investment products, including options, futures, sale of covered call options and covered put options。

Covered calls (covered call options) are call options (Call Options) that sell the stock to other investors while the investor holds the stock; Covered puts (covered puts) are put options (Put Options) that sell the stock to other investors while the investor holds the stock.。

Take Covered Call as an example:

You are bullish on a more stable company and choose to hold the stock for the long term。At the same time, you are not optimistic that this stock can rise above the strike price (the nature of the option is that there is a strike price, meaning that if the investor buys a call) (the stock price rises above the strike price to make money), so you can sell the call option while holding the stock, as long as the stock does not rise above the strike price, you get a premium (premium)。

Senior Margin Account

Advanced Margin Account (Advanced Margin Account) has more book-entry trading options than standard margin accounts, and investors can sell unguaranteed call options (naked call options) and unguaranteed put options (naked put options).。

Uncovered options / or naked options (naked options), i.e., investors do not need to hold a stock and can sell a call or put option on that stock.。The strategy for naked selling options is the same as the Covered Call example above, except that naked selling options do not require holding the stock。
