    SPY close 468.26 (how do I see how many of the 468 SPY puts were assigned tomorrow)

    The SPY close was 468.26. After hours was trading below 468, during the 15 or 30 minutes options still traded, and the 468P expiring today 12/20/23 were trading at 0.50, and I closed out to not risk assignment. Is there a way to see tomorrow how many people exercised their 12/20/23, 468 puts?

    streetsmart edge will be discontinued as far as I can tell streetsmart edge was nice because it was easy to use. thinkorswim is more robust but it is not as intuitive and takes a little more time to learn (as there are more features)

    I currently just enter straddles at my discretion, when I think it is a sideways day. (mostly selling strangles) I was just wondering what would the results be if it was done every day for a long time.
