5.6.1. Opening an Options Account

Brokerage firms that allow options trading must develop and maintain written procedures that govern the firm’s conduct regarding their options business. These written procedures must describe how a customer’s account will be approved for options trading and who will be responsible in the firm for its compliance with the rules.

Prior to approving a customer for options trading, a firm must exercise due diligence in finding out essential facts about the customer’s objectives and financial situation.

Just passed the series 7 today! Solomon was a huge help, as I used the practice exams exclusively. When preparing for this exam, make sure to allocate ~70% of your time on compliance, opening accounts etc. Looking forward to passing the series 66. I will continue using Solomon!

After a lengthy absence from the securities industry, I again needed to get licensed. With the great help of Solomon, I did the SIE, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 82, in just over 5 months. The materials are comprehensive and I would recommend reading it all at least twice. Have realistic goals and meet them. Don't take too many days off as the quicker you learn the material the less likely your are to forget the initial stuff. I found the "Ask the Professor" feature to be particularly helpful (and responsive!). I hope I don't need further exams any time soon but, if I do, I will use Solomon.

When I was studying Series 7 TOP OFF, I enjoy reading everyone's reviews. It was another way of encouraging me. Thank you Solomon, help me pass my 7 ! I followed the four weeks schedule, didn't do anything more or less. Jeremy contacted me and share me with his strategy. I really appreciated it! Solomon helped me pass 63 two years ago. I am buying my s65 now! Thank you again for all your help!

Just passed the Series 7 on the first attempt! Many questions on the FINRA exam forced me to consider scenarios from a different perspective, and the conceptual understanding the Solomon materials and study plan facilitated allowed me to apply my knowledge appropriately. If I need another license in the future, I'll rely on Solomon to help me prepare.

Solomon Exam Prep helped me pass the Series SIE, 63, 65 and 7 exams. The study materials are easy to understand and practice exams were very helpful, especially with the passing probability to gauge my exam readiness. The instructor for all web classes were really worth it as I could get directly answers for my questions. I couldn't have pass these exams without Solomon's help. Thank you!

Within a few months, I passed the SIE, Series 7, 63, 65, & 79 exams all on the first try using Solomon Exam Prep. This material will prepare you for the actual exam. I will say in many instances the practice exams are more difficult than the actual exam. Solomon and the various tracking metrics will more than help you prepare for the rigors of exam day. I highly recommend the practice exams and ability to dive back in to review weak areas. I will continue to use their products and services in the future.
