If you don't have a margin account you're playing on difficult.
Depends on how you utilize margin. If it is for leverage then unless you're a super pro, no. IF it is for settlement, then fine.
I know a lot of traders that blew up their account from leveraging margin. Traders' number 1 job is to manage risk. Margins are essentially too risky.

To be able to short you need a margin account.

Also I believe you need it to do option strategies like verticals ,calendars, IC, etc. (naked - not advised for new people)

My webull cash account (using it for the 5%). I can only sell puts, covered calls, and buy puts/calls. Nothing else.
