Weird, I just opened an account not an hr ago and got lvl 2 options access. I have traded before, own in a Roth IRA, and some smaller stocks, but nothing too serious. I do have a degree in business with focus in econ/investing. But my main degree is a master's in CS, so it might also be because I have a good income?

Exactly. So they’re fine with higher accounts risking money on options but not okay with smaller accounts risking money on options.

Regardless, it’s my money, and if I don’t understand options well it’s my loss. I don’t get what their criteria is. I wanna know how do they decide?
