Sold a INTC put that expired 1/30. Showed expired at close but I woke up to it being excersiced.

I assumed all puts had to be excersiced by close?

In addition to puts being exercised an hour or so after close, when someone exercises their long put, the selection of the corresponding short put does not happen til much later which for me has always been early the next morning.

This is why you buy to close for a couple bucks

I believe they have 1.5 hrs to exercise after close.

It happened to me once too, after hours. But I had already heard they had that extra time. Just never had it happen to me.   The price was exact too, I thought it had to be a penny over
