yeah actually thought they were OTM since at 4:02 ish they were under. didn't check exact closing price by the time I made this topic. But they were ITM at 3:59:59 PM ET.
I already bought with my buying power shots to correlate if something happens in next 4-ish hours to market. But the 1.7M incoming execs are heavily gonna override that if QQQ goes to 650 but at least got some damage control with all the money I can afford with IBKR BP.

661P was ITM at 4 pm ET, right? I would expect them to be exercised.
Personally, I'd probably buy a futures call to hedge. Actually the puts were long options, so if I'm reasonably confident about the 4pm close price and the exercise it can just be a purchase of shares instead of the option.

Yes, by 4pm ET for auto exercise. Brokerage won’t look at after hour price. Next time set a lime price to sell once you bought when you scalping.

Yes, 4pm ET

Following the US market today from 2-3p ET, KOSPI doing the “nah jk we dump” trick

QQQ ended the day at 661.73 so it’s ITM by 4pm ET, market close time. The broker could auto exercise it. Do you have $1.7mil in BP? If you do, then most likely it did l exercise.

So minor mistake hehe. been trading options several years and never got into this situation.
IForgot to lapse 25x QQQ calls at 661 when they were OTM, bought them at final 20 min for like 5$ a piece and tried to pull fast one and sell them at 2-5x in last minutes.

They were OTM by 5:30 ET at lapse instructions, now they're ITM by +5.5.

Am I getting exercised by 1 AM et if they're OTM and am I getting like 25x100x667$ worth QQQ on my acc?
Kinda worried getting 1.7M$ worth QQQ coz obviously if after hours goes down by -1.5% at overnight trading, I'd be getting hit by -0.5%\*1.7M$.

If current QQQ value stands, do they execute and I have 1.7M$ QQQ which will be margin called and auto sold around 1 AM ET which still will be yielding me a lot of money?

I have like 30k$ on acc so its not gonna stand like 1.7M$ execution. Was supposed to lapse them at 5:25 ET DL by IBKR but did stuff and forgot about it.

Or do I only get assigned by amount that margin withstands and the rest is auto cash settlement?

Or does everything expire at OTM instructions as QQQ wasn't ITM at 5:30 ET?

Let me translate what Kevin said to all the retards here…
During the press conference, that began at 2:30 PM ET on July 29, 2026 Kevin Waaarsh, the New federal reserve chair, very clearly illustrated that he does not give a flying fuck about inflation that is impacting 300+ million Americans and that until he sees significant impacts to the economy, which is being reported on by one person after the firing of 10s of thousands, they will not lift a finger in terms of policy to help stabilize prices. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I've been searching around and would like to get the asks for every minute on certain SPXW options during after market hours (8:15pm-9:25am ET). Is anyone else doing this and what service are you using? I already asked Massive and they unfortunately don't have it. Wasn't able to query it with Databento either. Thanks!
