How about you trade silver,Ford,ET, and stocks under $30. You wouldn't have to tippie toe around. When I was doing bull put spreads, I never went straight to tesla , microsoft, or even Meta. If you just want to trade, look for high volatility stocks for under $30. You will sleep better at night! Plus, you would now be able to hedge your spreads dynamically!

You placed a day order after hours on Friday. You had until 9:29 and 59 seconds ET on Monday to cancel that order safely. Depending on your brokerage, it says attempting to cancel, but it always cancels.
I believe 5330 pertains to choices or obligations the brokerage has in placing the order, things like Do Not Reduce and pertains specifically to, “day of.” Some of today’s answer reference reasons from overnight that sometimes appear to happen before 7a ET. Although I’ve become fairly convinced something is required, I don’t yet know what that is. Pay date is now a known and mentioned earlier, and “Fact 2” doesn’t really pan out on the charts or data. For me, this is not a contest, there was a hint earlier there’s a SEC rule that I truly hope exists because it’s ok no matter what the answer. I’m just trying to get to the bottom. However, this seems to upset some and I may just end it. Been busy today, this is the first post I’ve read tonight. Somebody may have posted that SEC rule. That’d be great.

The topic is options that go ITM in AH. If ITM at Close, the long option will Exercise by Exception. Once in AH, there is no more Exercise by Exception if the long goes ITM. You have to call your brokerage by 5:30p ET to satisfy the OCC. However, individual brokerages are allowed to make their own time limit rules. My position is that if the amount ITM does not significantly help recover some premium paid, too, or if the option is small, I likely won’t make the necessary phone call within for a small move into ITM in AH. It’s a net loss I’ll accept.
I’m in this for the money. If it’s a net loss no matter what I do, I’m already done. My time is more valuable than a procedural victory for going through the motions compensates. That troubled option is coming up red somewhere soon anyway soon enough. Never seems to fail. Additionally, not all brokerages are the same regarding their rules for AH exercise, the phone call must be made by 5:30p ET to satisfy the OCC. But I’ve seen phone-in cutoffs starting at 4:30p ET, 5, and lastly 5:30p ET. It’s quite possible to want to do something but cannot.
Being automatically exercised is what happens to the ITM longs at 4p, sometimes 4:15p ET on expiry. They are then paired against all the available ITM shorts. When short, that’s assignment whether the shares are removed from or placed in your account. When long, it’s called exercised. The actual linguistic correctness has no place in options and makes this bit of information initially confusing. In options, short always relates to Assignment, any conjugation thereof and in any context. Long always relates to Exercise, any conjugation thereof and in any context … English correctness be damned.
I bought put options, therefore at 4pm ET I was OTM (price above my strike) but at 5:30pm ET I was ITM (price below my strike price). Option trading closes at 4pm, therefore did I get lucky with the after hours price movement?
>A lot of factors would play into this but the biggest one, IMO, is that Net Profit of the long doesn’t start happening until the strike is hit and continues on far enough ITM to earn back the premium spent opening the long. The OCC doesn’t care about premium, that’s between us and our brokerages. Yet it’s a real expense. By agreement, that short can be exercised at any time in the contract. If it still exists OTM at Close on expiry, and stays that way until 5:30p ET, it closed worthiness. Unless there are liquidity issues, an upcoming ex dividend date, or some breaking news that implies big profit potential very soon, fewer corresponding longs will exercise for pennies after 4p but before 5:30p ET because that would require a phone call and effort to lose money. This is such a wad of misinformation and misstatements. Get a clue.
Not usually.

Only ITM shorts are added to the available pool and chosen randomly.
All options that are ITM by .01 or more at expiration will be auto exercised. The exception is if the option buyer gives a do not exercise (DNE) order to their broker and it happens to be the option you sold. The option buyer can tell their broker to exercise up until about 5:30pm ET based on the AH price moves. This means the option may have been OTM and not exercised automatically, but then later and before 5:30pm ET can be exercised if an option holder tells their broker to do so. To avoid all risk of being assigned simply close the option before 4pm ET on expiration date.
Depends on what time the share price went ITM. If the share price of a standard option was OTM at 5:30p ET, it went down in history that way. The answer to your question is, No. You were not at risk for the entirety of AH.
The market is lulling people to sleep so it can rip your face off at 3pm ET

Sorry for the self-reply. I found this: [https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/dtc/2012/34-66919.pdf](https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/dtc/2012/34-66919.pdf) The Maturity Presentment processing for money market instruments (“MMIs”) is initiated automatically by DTC each morning for all of the MMIs maturing that day.3 The automatic process electronically sweeps all maturing positions of MMI CUSIPs from a participant’s accounts and credits the participant’s account with the amount of the payments to be received with respect to such presentments. The matured MMIs are delivered to the account of the applicable issuing or paying agent (“IPA”),4 also a DTC participant, and the IPA's account is debited for the amount of the maturity proceeds. The debited amount will be included in the IPA’s net settlement amount. Similarly, the credits of participants that presented maturing MMIs will be included in those participants’ net settlement amount. MMI issuers and IPAs commonly view the primary source of funding for payments of MMI maturity presentments as flowing from new issuances of MMIs in the same program by that MMI issuer on that day. When the MMI issuer issues more new MMIs than the number of MMIs maturing, the MMI issuer would have no net funds payment due to the IPA on that day. When an issuer has more maturing MMIs than new issuances, it would have an obligation to pay to the IPA the net amount of the MMIs maturing that day over the new issuance. When net maturity presentments exceed issuances on a day, IPAs at their discretion may provide significant intraday credit to issuers for the excess. However, the IPA as an agent of an issuer is not obligated to fund the presentments at DTC unless it receives payment from the issuer. The business relationships between IPAs and their MMI issuers play a key role in determining if an IPA will execute a refusal to pay at DTC with respect to presentment of an MMI issuance for which the IPA has not received funds from the MMI issuer. Because maturity presentments of an issuer’s MMIs for which the IPA acts are processed automatically and The business relationships between IPAs and their MMI issuers play a key role in determining if an IPA will execute a refusal to pay at DTC with respect to presentment of an MMI issuance for which the IPA has not received funds from the MMI issuer. Because maturity presentments of an issuer’s MMIs for which the IPA acts are processed automatically and randomly against the IPA’s account, an IPA is permitted to refuse to pay for all of an issuer’s maturities in an MMI program.5 An IPA that refuses payment on an MMI maturity must communicate its intention to DTC using the DTC Participant Terminal/Browser Service (PTS/PBS) MMRP function. This function allows the IPA to enter a refusal to pay instruction for a particular issuer, referred to as an Issuer Failure/Refusal to Pay (“RTP”), up to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) on the date of the relevant maturity presentment. Such an instruction causes DTC to reverse all transactions related to the relevant maturity presentment. An IPA RTP may have a significant market impact on the issuer’s reputation and credit standing.
That particular statistic doesn't help you much. Yes, only about 10% of options make it to expiration. The corresponding longs ITM at \~4p ET on expiration will be automatically exercised and the shorts where the underlying is taken are randomly chosen from a pool of ITM shorts calls. If ITM, count on being assigned, but it'll occasionally not happen. You won't know until after expiration and all brokerages tend to notify a bit differently.
Wednesday 2PM ET and J.Powell will speak at 2:30PM ET.
The dollar is the reserve currency. The total amount of global dollar-denominated invoicing exceeds U.S. imports by a factor of more than two. There's lots of dollar invoicing where the U.S. isn't even involved. So I don't understand how you can equate an American company's need for Euros with a German company's need for dollars. For volume, if you look at the U.S. 10 year continuous contract over the last few days, the volume is miniscule from about 9 pm ET to about 3 am ET and then it ramps up significantly. The ramp up at 3 am is consistent with when Europe opens. I am totally open to being corrected, I just don't understand your point here. How can **everybody** be hedged so perfectly that the rising dollar isn't a net balance sheet drain on the E.U. and net balance sheet plus in the U.S.?

The option holder has until 5:30pm ET to exercise an option which can be based on the stock price moves after the market closes. Any holder can exercise anytime they wish even if the option is OTM so this can happen and there does not need to be a reason.
The ITM/OTM is determined on 4pm ET closing price on the primary exchange. However since most equities trade after hours, if you are within the area of pin risk, if there is a move after hours, the long holder can exercise and place an offsetting trade to lock in their P/L and remain net neutral overnight. And you are left holding the bag. Don’t get pinned. Just close it out before 4pm ET. No position equals impossible to get assigned under any circumstance.
Thank you for posting...here is the email we got: We're reaching out because you currently hold put options spreads in SVB Financial Group (SIVB) that expire this Friday, March 17, 2023. Options trading on this symbol has been halted by exchanges. You can review additional information about trading halts through the Securities and Exchange Commission's website or through our Help Center. Due to the trading halt, the OCC has announced that SIVB contracts will not be automatically exercised. This is because the price of SIVB cannot be determined. The OCC may change their decision if the trading halt is lifted prior to the expiration date (Friday, March 17, 2023). You can learn more about the OCC’s decision and their automatic exercise process in their latest memo regarding SIVB. If trading in SIVB has not resumed prior to the expiration date, Robinhood will exercise the long legs of your spreads on your behalf to offset potential assignment on all of the short legs. If you receive assignments on some, but not all of your short legs, then Robinhood’s decision to exercise your long legs may result in a short stock position in your account. If this occurs, Robinhood will move the resulting short stock position in SIVB out of your account, which will eliminate any potential monetary upside or downside from holding a short stock position in SIVB. You may also request to maintain the short stock position in SIVB until either trading resumes or the redemption value of the shares is determined. If trading on SIVB resumes, we may attempt to close the short stock position on your behalf. Keep in mind, we cannot determine the price at which SIVB may begin to trade if trading resumes. If SIVB resumes trading and Robinhood closes your short stock position at a price above which you sold short the shares (i.e. the strike price of your exercised put options), this may result in monetary losses. If you would like to pursue this option, you must connect with one of our representatives by 5 PM ET on Monday, March 20, 2023. You can tap the button below to do this. Note that representative availability is limited outside of market hours.
My dude. You have much to learn if you don’t understand that as an option seller you have no rights, only an obligation to deliver if a long holder decides to exercise. They aren’t bound by ITM. The OCC will automatically exercise any contract ITM by a penny or more. However the long holder can contact their broker (before 530pm ET…some firms have an earlier cutoff to facilitate communication to OCC before 530pm ET) to enter a contrary instruction (exercise OTM or do not exercise ITM). Even if the contract(s) are OTM by ANY amount be it a penny or any other amount they can choose to exercise for any reason. Simple as that.

0DTEs are fun, but just know that with accelerated time decay, you’re like Frosty the Snowman venturing out on a warm spring day. If you’re wrong about direction, the longer you wait to cut your position, the longer you’re waiting in the warm sunshine while you’re extrinsic value melts away faster than your optimism. Tick chart with VOLUME is your friend here. Not to mix metaphors, but you’ve got 30 minutes to make it to the safe and steal the contents. If it goes the wrong way, get out. If you’re long and see spikes in volume on pops, that’s a good reason to stay in the trade longer. Same thing on the short side, if you’re seeing volume on dips, stay in. And if you’re still holding a shitload of OTM options by 3:30 ET, then it’s highly unlikely (but not impossible) that you will either make money or get blown out by your broker.
Sun’s still up at 1800 ET  Love to see it

Yes, but not for that reason. The 11:59pn time is mainly to have an official/legal time for the contract to expire and the very last minute of expiration day is as good as any. In terms of practical impacts, the 5:30pm ET cutoff time to submit a notice to exercise is the last word. Since the options market closes before that time (4:00-4:15pm in most cases, barring the handful of contracts that have extended-hours trading) there is a window of time where price action on the underlying can impact exercise and assignment. Here is a historical example of what happened when TSLA stock price dropped precipitously after the options market closed on a Friday, but before TSLA stopped trading. It wasn't pretty: https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/ipqkua/fridays_tsla_lesson_close_positions_before/

“Member,” for retail means our brokerage. Notification times are allowed to vary as long as fundamentally fair to all participants at that brokerage. But AH exercise request times differ between brokerages. Essentially, brokerages have until 5:30p ET, and we have what our brokerage says we have. I’ve heard this rule being anywhere from 4:30p to 5:30p and generally done by phone. That last one is simply allowing what is possible but will obviously fail at 5:30p.
What happened to Reddit today between 3 and 8 pm ET 
/u/convalytics already replied with the deadline for exercise that defines the practical cutoff time, but to answer the literal question in the title of your post, expiration for equity options, which includes QQQ, is **11:59pm (ET) on expiration day**. https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/occ/2013/34-69772.pdf If you just google search for the expiration time, you'll find lots of articles and official memos that have a *Saturday 11:59 AM* expiration time. That was the expiration time *prior* to the rules chance linked above. So basically a lot of stuff on the internet about expiration time is out-of-date, even pretty official stuff like the [NASDAQ glossary](https://www.nasdaq.com/glossary/e/expiration-time) and the [Investopedia article about option expiration](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/expiration-time.asp).

Via FINRA: FINRA reminds members that option holders who hold expiring options have until 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the day of expiration to make a final exercise decision to exercise or not exercise the option.1 Members may establish an earlier time to accept exercise instructions for customer or non-customer accounts but may not accept instructions after 5:30 p.m. ET.2 Members should ensure customers are aware of the cut-off time to exercise expiring options. 1 See FINRA Rule 2360(b)(23)(A) regarding the procedure for the exercise of option contracts. In particular, Rule 2360(b)(23)(A)(iii) provides that option holders have until 5:30 p.m. ET on the business day of expiration, or, in the case of a standardized equity option expiring on a day that is not a business day, on the business day immediately prior to the expiration date to make a final exercise decision to exercise or not exercise an expiring option.
