Instant Settled Cash for Options - No more T+1

[John_O_Dwyer]

I would like to propose a feature request that gives instant settled cash for options trading. Instead of waiting T+1 after a trade so that a cash-covered put can be sold right after a trade is made.

Reasoning, when selling options with short days to expiry (say 5 days), one day is a very long time. Waiting a day to trade an option in this scenario can cost 20% of returns.

Alpaca cant change it. Only Securities and Exchange Commission can change it to T+0
