Reply to poster "Colbalt"So you set your trades and see if you get filled...so Monday afternoon I set two trades: one of 48 contracts @.08, because I hold 4800 shares, I offered all of them to be called away from me if the price is 7.01 or higher...this offer by me expires at the end of Monday....so the computer filled the order, and after costs, $314 was credited to my account,.....but the option itself expires tomorrow...if BTE does not close @ 7.01 or higher, I keep t he e $314...the other trade was my 1000 shares of CPG...I sold 10 contract s. @ 0.19 expiring on Friday as well ..the strike price is 10.00 even...looks like I stand to pocket $482 by the close tomorrow...we shall see...but the decision s were made by the TA of the current situation...which I hope you appreciate!
