Hello, on friday i bought 5 call options on SOXL with a strike price of $9. I executed the options at the same day, so i bought 500 SOXL at $9 =$4,500. But on TWS i see an average price of $9.28 which i not understand because i should have paid 500x $9 and not 500x $9,28, regardless if the price was higher at the time of execution. Or do i miss here something? Thanks
Strike isn't option price / premium. The 9$ strike can have a bid / ask of 190 / 210 Did you buy the SOXL 9$ CALL with a limit @ 9 or market ? I use TWS also and commissions usually show up on the close. Commission should be at worst min(USD 1, USD 0.65/contract) 3.25$ + 3rd party fees not 280$ * 5 = 1400$ I believe you didn't buy with a limit order. Therefore you paid what the market gave you.
strike price = 9 assume you paid 28 cents premium including costs you exercise the calls so pay 9x500 but your cost basis (ie. where you base your pnl) is 9x500+9x.28
Thanks for your replies. What has happened if i hadn“t executed the options but let them be assigned? Would i have had paid the exact strike price of $ 9?
To the OP, no offense but your questions are so basic and badly formulated (and lacking context and details!) that you should start at the beginning: https://www.optionseducation.org/
