``If your option is in the money and you do not have the funds/shares to cover, Robinhood will place an order to close your position during a risk of exercise/assignment check 60-90 minutes before market close. This check is put in place to protect from unintended exercise/assignment in your account.
Selling to close a position means that you're selling a contract that you own back into the market. Selling to open an options contract means that you're selling the contract to a buyer to collect a premium. You have the obligation to make good on the contract if you're assigned, or you could buy it back in the market.

Closing a long position in a security would entail selling it, while closing a short position in a security would involve buying it back. Taking offsetting positions in swaps is also very common to eliminate exposure prior to maturity. Closing a position is also known as "position squaring."
If your long option is ITM at expiration but your account doesn't have enough money to support the resulting long or short stock position, your broker may, at its discretion, issue a do not exercise (DNE) on your behalf, and any gain you may have realized by exercising the option will be wiped out.
If for any reason we can't sell your contract, and you don't have the necessary buying power or shares to exercise it, we may attempt to submit a DNE request to the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), and your contract should expire worthless.
Your limit order is too aggressive: A limit order may also be rejected if it fails one of our risk checks.

If the stock stays at the strike price or above it, the put is “out of the money” and the option expires worthless. Then the put seller keeps the premium paid for the put while the put buyer loses the entire investment.

The safest place to put $1 million dollars would be in a combination of insured bank accounts and conservative investments, such as bonds and CDs, to ensure a balance of liquidity and stability.
If a brokerage fails, the SIPC steps in and protects investors' money, up to $500,000, of which $250,000 can be cash held for investments.
Chances are you can't withdraw money from Robinhood because your funds are "unsettled." No, we don't mean your money is moody; "unsettled" means it didn't clear Robinhood's books. For instance, if you just sold a stock, you must wait for Robinhood to process and confirm the transaction before it finalizes.
