I thought you could not short stocks in an Ira, only sell covered calls? Is there some way around this rule?

You can do Level 2 options trading in a IRA.

So you can sell covered puts / calls, or buy puts /calls. Those do not require margin. You cannot sell uncovered calls / puts, which would require margin.

Part of my position was buying $280 weekly puts which were $1.39 each, now $49.5 each ( still haven't sold lol).

Yea sounds like put options, an outright short wouldn’t have gained that much %
