    Hi everybody,

    This maybe a silly question, but I need to ask because I've never been in this situation before and I am a bit nervous.

    I am long 5 YM Sept 07 contracts and short 5 YM Sept 07 call options. I expect all the call options to be exercised if the market doesn't go down much by expiration day next week (Sept 20), and I don't have any problems with that. However, the YM options and the YM itself will expire on the same day. Would that make any difference on how things work? Will my YM long positions will be "called away" at the end of expiration day (as in stock options) and I don't have to worry about delivery/settlement of the YM contracts the following day?

    I've searched the CBOT website but couldn't find any info that can clarify that for me. Anyone with knowledge/experiences please help.

    Thank you very much.
