  Unfortunately, you cannot exercise options on Robinhood without having any funds in your account. In order to exercise an option, you need to have enough buying power to cover the cost of the underlying shares. If you don't have sufficient funds, you won't be able to exercise the option. It's important to ensure that you have enough funds in your account before attempting to exercise options on Robinhood.

  Nope, you can't exercise options on Robinhood without having any funds. You need to have enough money in your account to cover the cost of the underlying shares. If you don't have any funds, you won't be able to exercise the option. Make sure you have sufficient funds in your account before trying to exercise options.

  While I can't speak for Robinhood, some other exchanges may allow you to exercise options without having any funds in your account. However, it's important to note that this is not a common practice and may not be available on all platforms. It's always best to check with the specific exchange you are using to see if they offer this option.
