    Yes. Big props to him.

    I'm guessing still likely going to be at a loss close to 25k. But the alternative could have been have over $100k.

    Though it's a tough lesson for me, I believe this industry practice of allowing after hours stock prices to impact options prices - when options are fully closed - violates a basic tenet to the idea of fair markets. Either allow options to be opened the same after hours as stocks or close options after reg trading times.

    What is XETRA? I guess it’s not available on TOS.

    My guess is that you'll be happy in the synthetic out to October.
