Hi,
Sorry, but, i didn't know who else to ask this ( my brokerage, tradeking, is closed on weekends for customer support), would really appreciate your input.
On friday, while SPY was trading at 204.32, i did a bull put credit spread. To wit, Sold a SPY 204 put and bought a SPY 203 put. At closing, SPY traded to 204.25. So, naturally, i thought that i was safe as both puts would expire worthless, instead, my long put (203 SPY) expired worthless, but, i got assigned on my short put (204 SPY), $20,400 (yikes). How is that possible?, when SPY closed at 204.25 ?
Thanks
