Help with a mistake

[mushinseeker]

At least it is in 1 lots. I remember years back creating a Sterling API on 500 shares.. about 20 stocks.... bad quotes loaded ... instant execution on about 8 stocks at the opening.. instant RED all over the screen.. funny thing (not so funny then) was I had a "ka-ching" sound upon execution... well,.. it was the right sound except the money flow was the wrong way

Thank you all for the advice! I managed to untangle the mess and escape with minimal losses! Lesson learned from now on.

It's not that messy really...

c X p
- 330
+ 335
340 +
345 -
480 +
- 485 -
+ 490

That's a 340/345/485/490 IC

And a 330/335/480/485 IC, but then long via the in-the-money's, since:

- 330
+ 335
480 +
485 -

is the same as:

330 -
335 +
+ 480
- 485

So... depending on what you wanted to do initially, to me it looks like in effect you only did a long IC (via ITM's) instead of a short IC...
