Options pricing is non-linear, so per-contract fees dominate the P&L on small trades, while assignment handling and Greeks display dominate the experience on multi-leg strategies. The brokers here are reviewed on strategy builder, multi-leg execution speed, real-time delta, gamma, vega, theta, and rho, and the workflow when a position approaches assignment. Margin treatment variesโportfolio margin reduces capital requirements for hedged positions, while standard rules impose stricter limitsโso the right broker is the one whose margin model matches the strategies you actually trade.
