    New feature request for one of the IB reps here. Can submit to IB if someone can provide a link...

    I trade weekly options and like to monitor my trading progress by reviewing the account statements. Although equity options are assigned / expired on Friday afternoon / night, the activity statements are not updated until the following Monday evening. The exception is after the monthly option expiration, the statements are updated by Saturday morning. Could IB simply extend the statement update for weekly options too?
     
    FSU and lindq like this.

    Are you saying you can't tell if you were assigned on a weekly option (expiring Friday) until Monday with IB?

    In a related request, it would be helpful if IB would keep expired weeklies on the option chains at least during the weekend after they expire.

    No, I can tell if I was assigned or not by looking at my portfolio or order history anytime after Friday night. The statement is simply not up to date until Monday evening with the exception of the weekend after monthly equity option expiration.

    Wow, that is surprising, especially now that there are Monday, Wednesday and Friday expirations. I would want those updated statements as well.
