I tried to buy some calls with Interactive Brokers. Horrible UX. These were some of the obstacles in order:

1. It complained I wasn't authorized to trade options.
2. I had no USD (I deposited EUR)
3. Tried to convert 1k EUR to USD, it failed; quoted wrong and I was 2€ short. 4. Authorized and USD balance. I try to purchase the calls, but apparently the EUR<>USD trade needs to be settled.

I guess I have to wait for the 1k trade to settle, because the credit risk is just too high for them to take.

I'm going back to crypto.
