Hi Yes, but I want to make an observation. If the dividend is not known, how can the puts be based on the ex-dividend price? At most it's one approach. And it could be a play here. But no for ones who like a non risk strategy. http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/spy/dividend-history So, nobody knows...

Hi I have found this thread and I liked very much, very interesting. Next month it will be the first time that the ex dividend date will be in the middle of my strategy. I began trading spy two months ago. So a I have Many doubts about how it's going to be. _With calls it seems not possible...

Hi I sent an email to Trade alert but they didn't response. Also sent an email to the Option clearing House. They answered very quikly. That was they said “It has been nearly 10 years since I was associated with any effort to provide historical early exercise data, but it was a specific and...

Hi I Would like to ask if it possible to see the Spy options statistics for the last monthly expiration, March. I mainly want to see how many options were exercited prior to expiration and their strikes and the day it was done. Maybe it is possible to see that kind of information but don't know...

Hi wou, I don't know if you are being ironical, hopefully not. Do you mean 200 every day or every ex-dividend day? :) I have to know some answers before I realize if I have discovered something. What I am thinkink of doesn't look bad. But it seems to me that not going to discover anything...

Hi I would like to experiment selling Spy deep itm call options. So I want to understand what it's going to happen when ex dividend date is approaching. The next ex-dividend date is 06-16 and it is also the option expiration date. The itm strikes has low liquidity so I don't Know if i will be...

Hi Some information I have found. In case there is someone interested. 1_If the assigned call writer buys the stock in the market for delivery, the writer only needs the cash in his brokerage account to pay for the difference between what the stock cost and the strike price of the call...

Hello I would like to ask you a few questions about how the assignment mechanism works, and how the broker does, and what are the implications on the required margin. Again a non experinced questions, sorry. Let's say it is a multileg SPY strategy, American style options, so could be early...

Thank you all for your resposes. I know Spy and Spx are different things, but no very different things. I mean the two have the same underlying, 500 stock prices. Yes Spy accumulates dividends during 3 months ant then pays at once, and Spx is paying little by little. Then let's see the ES. Yes...

Hi As I said I'm in the begining of the way to understand options and futures and the relation between them and de underlying. So I appologise if some question is absurd or out of place. Now I'm focused on the relationship between Spy Spx and /Es If we watch a grafic of SPY*100-SPX we can...

Thank you You are right, the correct way to say it is below the intrinsec value. But it seems more clear to me if it is sayed in the other way, and it's easyest to write. _Of course don't want to sell below the intrinsec value, but maybe want to buy. Want to ask you what would you mean by saying...

Thank you I also thought I might have something to do with the call put parity. If we buy a Spx synthetic future with options, buying call and selling put same strike , the resulting price has to be the same as the price of the futures. And it seems to happen in the Spx. Maybe that's why the...

Hi Thank you for the response. Yes, deep itm options have low liquidity. But someone buys and sells them. Spx call 1000 May19 has an open interest of 3.100, and the strike 2.000 also has 3.100. _Agree with you that exit the strategy could be very difficult. The strategy I am thinking let the...

Hi I've just started getting interested in the options. Absolutely newbie, never placed a trade in real market. And i have found this site. The amount of information in this forum is incredible. _I Would like to ask to the participants a question. I have observed that the Spx deep itm calls...
