cash settled versus physical

  1. Several months back I had an Iron condor in QQQ. One morning I suddenly found IB had sold stock and I was short QQQ stock.

    What would have happened if instead of QQQ there was an cash settled index?

    Thanks for guidance.

    I assume you saying you were early assigned on an ITM call. If you are trading a Cash indexes that allow early exercise, you would have no position the next morning on that leg. Most don't allow it. So just stick to those.
