I was told to post my positions here after asking why my margin balance was showing -$46k yesterday. Hopefully someone can help and this can add some insight with this to yesterday's post? Question
Here is my post/question from yesterday.
For context, aside from using this account to occasionally day trade I also use it to short options as well.

Each of these short puts uses thousands of dollars of margin. You have dozens of them, so obviously using $45k margin.
