Notes:
1. Please note that short selling options is only appropriate for experienced option traders because of the extreme risk associated with this trade as potential losses can be unlimited.
2. Please note that the seller of the option faces the risk of being assigned, which occurs when the holder of an option exercises their right to buy (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) the underlying asset. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your account has sufficient underlying stocks or margin/cash available for being assigned or liquidated.
3. Even if you take no other actions after selling the option, the margin requirement may increase due to intensified market volatility during the day or movement in the underlying stock. Therefore, it is important that you always maintain sufficient margin/cash in your account.
