Thanks again! It's clear now. I immediately got a list of european style optionable indexes. That's really safer :)

Thank you very much for the reply. I am not able to understand how can be assigned an option on an index. Only by cash I think but I hardly understand it in live trading. Maybe, if assigned, I can be forced to buy the sold position because who bought wants to cash it? Thanks again.

Hi all! I am studying options strategies since a few months and paper-trading with good success on vertical spreads, iron condors, calendar and butterfly. The problem while paper-trading is that I do not risk to be assigned on sold positions. I am thinking to go live but want to be sure never...

Here is the trade: BUY 3 PUTS SEPT @18 SELL 1 PUT JUNE @22.5 Thanks!

Sorry! Not CALLS but PUTS!

Sorry! It is the contrary! Buy 3 Sept Put and sell 1 June put.

Another question. What about using this strategy on Vix? I mean buy 3 sept. calls and sell 1 June. It is impossible to be assigned with Vix. Loss is only between 2 BE. Is there any possible problem I do not see? Backtest on TOS works well but as often, live trading is different. Thanks very much.

I know I can be naive but what could happen placing this trade? The short call would be immediately assigned? Thanks.
