Selling Puts - limitless?

Jonjay posted a question in IG Trading Support - Dealing Questions

Hi guys, completely new to the site, but traded Options in the 90s for a while and trying to get back into it now on my IG demo account. Please bear with me for stupid newbie question! If I decide I want to sell Puts, which are in theory limitless with their potential loss, does the account automatically trade you out of the position if you reach the margin? or is this manual and you could end up with a negative account value that you have to then repay? Thanks guys

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
