yup found a source and was looking at it .. and it was up 14% again somewhere very near to that looks like - around 14th or so ..

Thank you Amahrix This means if we have the capital required to take assignment or exercise, then it won't be liquidated but rather assigned or exercised - is that right ? Or do they still liquidate it even if there is sufficient capital required ? I did not know that short options can be...

Would they do it with a market order ? !

Thank you Amahrix. At what price does it get liquidatef to the market ? Also, if the long position was a covered position using the underlying - example long put and long underlying, I guess it would close the underlying position along with the long put option by doing an exercise correct ?

Hi guys, If a long option is ITM, what happens if I do not take any action on the last day of validity ? i.e. if I neither sell the option nor exercise it ? Does it get automatically result in an exercise or sale ? Or neither (resulting in a loss of the value of the option purchase price when...

Hi Hobbytrading, Thank you for the reply. I am a bit confused about "initial margin" and "margin requirements" in your message. What is the definition of these terms ? Sound identical to me .. Do you mean that Left and right hand column show what the margin would be if the margins on the...

Thank you Amahrix, How does a short option short term and long option long term combo make money ? I presume it will initially a debit ? and then the Long option needs get ITM for the spread to make money ?

Thank you Amahrix. Does the put definitely protect the long position on the underlying ? I mean if the underlying goes below the put strike price, can I exercise (if I so choose) and the underlying position gets closed at the strike price of the put ?

The underlying is ES - $3014

I am not sure what a naked spread is - but I have posted the trade example above.
