Euronext published a daily statistics file today which included the 16 DEC series. All series, in- at- or out-of-the-money, had an OI of zero. Contrary to the OCC, they seem to use your definition, i.e. there can't be any open interest after expiry regardless of whether an option was assigned...

Yeah, that might be the case. It was Euronext.

I got a message from IB telling me the series had "expired" (which is the message you get when your option is not exercised, opposed to "assigned" when it is). I guess they could have misplaced the assignment notice, I'll see tomorrow.

Thanks all. Some more searching and I can answer my own question: for US options the OCC has data on their website: https://www.theocc.com/market-data/market-data-reports/series-and-trading-data/series-search.

well, you were kind of asking for it when you supplied us with your budget down to your netflix sub. you don't need to respond to everyone here you know. if you really don't want to discuss anything else than a CPA reference, try ignoring everyone talking about other issues.

if you're really as good a trader as you claim to be, why not learn from your past mistakes, literally live on bread and water for a few years and resume your trading? If your past success is real, you should be up and running again (and paying off the IRS easy) in no time.

yeah. full day monday, closed tuesday, full day wednesday

tomorrow's hike is fully priced in. the fed would be crazy not to pull the plug. they might just spook the markets into thinking we're heading for big trouble, instead of having the opposite effect. seem like the most sensible thing to do for the fed is raise rates, but make a few comments here...

thanks for the info!

quick question: qualcomm was scheduled be ex-dividend on the 5th of december. however, as we now know, on the 5th of december the markets will be closed. does anyone know what will happen: will the ex-dividend date be moved to the 4th, or to the 6th? thanks!

did you actually get yours approved? i've send them in, but have been waiting for ages. edit: never mind, i see yours were approved

Not everyone here is a noob. Anyway, back OT, any broker names are still most welcome.
