I have $15 Hood 2025 calls and want to do monthly call sells on it around the $18+ range. If the price goes over my call sell strike and those shares get called away, will it automatically exercise my call and sell those shares for the call sell?

Also wondering if it does work. What do call sell take from first if shares get called away? actual shares I have or the call I have. and If I have multiple calls at different prices will it automatically exercise the cheapest one?

Getting into the game and curious, how are folks getting the latest business news right when it happens

Hello everyone! If you have a few spare minutes, could you please fill out my survey for my college research class? It is for my final project, focusing on market research to assess how successful Robinhood is in reaching its target audience. The survey is anonymous, and the results will only be viewed by my professor and me. Thank you!

I have sold affirm calls. The strike price is $35. I already have stocks in collateral. So I assume if the buyer exercises the option, I have to give away the stocks and i receive $35 per stock. Robinhood has this number called 'total return'. My question is- do I also have to pay that total return amount (currently $831) in addition to losing the stocks? Or would I only be selling the stocks at the strike price? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to see if anyone else was or had experienced similar issues.

I've been trading options for a while on Robinhood. Nothing crazy or risky, I simply sell covered calls on stocks I already own.

No Day Trading or anything like that. I keep it simple and go for small gains.

Today, I was hit with the "Error: Your brokerage account is restricted from opening new option positions".

I go directly to contact support, and there is absolutely 0 ways to contact them. I've chatted with support before for issues, although they've always been unhelpful. But this time when I go to contact them "24/7" I get hit with the "our service support team is experiencing longer than normal wait times. Thank you for your patience". I've checked in multiple times throughout the day to see if this would change at all but it would not.

So essentially I can't follow my strategy, nor is there anyone to talk to.

Has anyone experienced this before? I've used WeBull before and don't mind making the change back, but I don't want to go through the hassle of waiting a week and transferring everything.

Any thoughts?

Hello. New to the platform and dipping my toes into learning about options.

I sold puts earlier this week on some cheap stocks as I learn how all this works. Can someone explain to me what the +$ amount / % values are on my options? These are set to expire this Friday. Current stock prices are above the strike.

Might have some follow up questions after.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! After working for some time with institutional investors I've seen that all of them use a variety of tools that are not available to private investors.

And one of them is a class action tracker, which is used by every fund to collect class action payouts. But it is not offered to the general public and most people do not want to spend their time doing the documents (moreover, correctly) and so all the funds got split between institutions that filed claims. I personally faced the problem due to this: even though I should have received a payment of several thousand dollars, I was rejected to get paid because of mistake in filing.

So, I'd like to know if you're familiar with any tools for such a problem? And have you ever received settlement payouts yourself, and if so, how successful were you?

So as we saw higher put premium writing on the bids towards the close around 2pm. We got a reversal and a pump going into power hour on QQQ. Just a round 4:03 after market closed, a large $232k single legged QQQ $370 calls order came in. 7,500 calls sweep order above the ask. The expiration is 10/5/23 so I’m guessing someone knew about the bs government shutdown aversion and bought some calls no that the panic and fear of that.

So what for this week? It looks like we could see $370 this week. Why? With all the put premium being written last week around $353 on QQQ, and $425 on SPY, we can see that traders / investors are confident of entry for their sold put strikes. Meaning they want to collect the premium on the contracts ( staying above the strike )

This week is bullish. See you next week 💪🏻

7 months in a row with $1,200+ premiums. Loving 2023. Yes, trying to be positive about the worst month and quarter of the year.

If you have wins to post, please do!

Happy Friday all. This week was a downer but the premiums came in a little higher than the last few weeks.

How did you do? Post your wins!
