Hey, how did you survive this recent market turbulence? :)

My situation this morning was thus.  Though not a record for me, 'tis not every day you find an unwanted $6.9mil of assets in your account....needing quick but synchronized disposal...yikes!

Trying to buy anything:  (Just deposit only nearly $7,000,000!! )

Some relevant holdings:

The stock which I got assigned, AliBABA:

Terrified owner of 32000 extra shares:

Only less than half of my retrospective, overnight assignments.  The other 22000 don't even show up due to typical Robinhood (App/system?) glitches:

While the stock sunk, the PUTs rose in tandem the previous day:
(These 220 I also need to sell off quickly, but mindfully to my corresponding stock sells! Or get burned badly)

And 100 of these, too:

Random view from balcony, rare sunshine during stormy grey days:

Fire sell-off commencing!  10 options worth more than $77K:

Hours later into the morning market session:

Almost done!  Whew!  10K left to go is nothing compared to owing 7M:
image.png





I managed to get out alive, and even earn a few K in the process.
It was a careful, unnerving balance of releasing the PUTs vs. 100x shares in small increments, each cycle trying to go slightly above break-even, though sometimes slipping below:

Please do not exercise nor sell any BABA stocks nor options until 1-2 hours before close, if any margin requirement has not been met by then.

I am carefully liquidating these positions from my account, following the unwanted assignment overnight.  

Thank you.

Immediate Action Required
Hi YOU,

You were issued a $3399327.08 margin call because you ended the trading day below your margin maintenance. Deposit funds or sell stock immediately to cover your margin call. 

You can't buy stocks until you resolve your margin call, so we've canceled your open buy orders. In order to fully resolve your margin call, you must close a trading day with a portfolio value above your margin maintenance. 

Your margin call amount may change throughout the trading day. You can find your current margin maintenance on your one-day chart in the form of a red, dotted line, and in the Gold Health section of your account screen. 



If you do not take action, we will sell a portion of your stocks to bring your portfolio value above your margin maintenance. If you have any questions, please visit ourHelp Center. 

Sincerely,
The Robinhood Team
