Do I need a margin account in order to trade options? Feels frustrating I just want to be able to start trading options not guess their requirements. How am I supposed to be good at options without starting somewhere, so bizarre.

"The financial information, investment experience and/or investment objectives you have listed in your account profile do not meet the eligibility requirements set forth to trade the Options Level you are requesting."

What can I do for solve this issue? I have deposited money and I have a margin account but I'm stucked. I need options but I can't use that yet (regardless of the level of options)

Please help me, I want to cry
