Limitations on trading depend on your brokerage house. My brokerage
makes some comments on my ****tfolio.

A brokerage will look a little at your investing practices to keep
things from getting too weird.

ETFs and stocks that trade on the major exchanges shouldn't be a
problem. Or covered calls should also be OK. Buying calls might be
perceived as being too risky for some brokerages. But selling
uncovered calls are unlikely to be allowed.
