Thanks for the explanation. I forgot to say it was a call contract. It was just a hypothetical example to understand the inner workings of this particular options trade. I was a vendor here indeed. I run a trading journal tool called trademetria.

got it. same pnl when assigned right?

i see. I am almost getting it. I'd like to know how the pnl stands. so if i bot 1 call at 400 at $1, got exercised 1 call at 400 at $0, i lose $100, but get stock at $400. if I sell it at 401, my pnl would be flat in this case correct. how would the blotter of a trade look like? options pnl =...

Hi Robert, Thank you for your reply. I understand better now. So by "minus the cost of the options", you mean the $100 invested or the transaction fees? If I sell my stock at 401, I'll gross profit $100 total then. $0 from my options trade and $100 from the stock trade. I used to be a...

Hi everyone! I have a question related to exercising options and I hope someone can help me here. Let's say I long 1 contract of MSFT paying $1 for the contract with a strike of $400. My cost is $100. Let's say I get exercised. How much money did I make on my options trade? From what I...

Ahh that's too bad. You can check tradier or alpaca. They offer API trading and they must offer historical data for traders to execute algo trades.

Try https://trademetria.com, it should match your pnl perfectly, if not reach out to us.

Your post would go a long way if you could share the benefits of joining your firm and who you'll be clearing with. Lots of scams out there.

You will want to track both per points and per points taking into account quantity. Here is how Trademetria does it: Shows total points and total points taking into account the number of contracts. It also lets you see points per trade You can also view trades in aggregate mode.

Yes, they are legit. I think the guy from the video is the risk manager and the partner is very active on twitter always helping people out.

Lol, yes I was and always been a cashcow for brokers. However, I managed to increase my volume by 10x while my commission dropped by 90% over the years. Capital preservation is your first goal during your first months. I was way ahead and already making some money.
