I am new to options and trying to understand the concepts and also how options work on tiger brokers as mine is a small account. I heard tiger brokers settles stock options in stocks and index options in cash. I just want to understand how things work. Say, I put up a trade with following legs: BUY 1x 395.00 CALL (premium = $ 26.43) SELL 2x 385.00 CALL (premium = $ 30.50) BUY 1x 375.00 CALL (premium = $36.00) At the outset, this will be a - $ 143 (-2643+3050+3050-3600). This is a small amount. My small account can afford this. Q1: Is only 143 taken from the account or is it only settled at expiry or when trade is closed. Q2: Any other margin requirements to put the trade on? If at expiry, the price is $ 370 (below all the strikes), then all calls are worthless and you loose $ 1

Sincen R-squared was mentioned, I am assuming change in interest rate cannot account for all the movement in the stock market.......so it seems any news event is probably an opportunity for big players to move markets to levels they want......more impact in options market as prices may not recover before expiry......

$IFAST CORPORATION LTD.(AIY.SI)$I am basically a struggling forex scalper.......would not look at a monthly chart even if my life depended on it........but this one was technically interesting......bullish? see chart attached.....
$SEMBCORP INDUSTRIES LTD(U96.SI)$Looks like strong up trend......20MA above the 50MA and both slope up.......price is pulling back.......entry could be the 38.2 fib retracement level or can be timed using Stochastic (which I could not add on this platform)..........
$CapitaLandInves(9CI.SI)$3.6 seems to be a key s/r level......it also conicides with the 38.2 retracement level.......there was a strong reaction up from this level in June........will there be a bounce up from 3.6?
