Here's what happened. See the attached image from my IB options
list. I was targeting options at about an 0.85 delta. I
was at first going to go with the Aug 16th options (which I
probably should have stayed with), but last second decided to go
with the the Sept 20th options instead. You can see both the
option prices with the 0.85 delta are the Aug 16th 272 call option
and the Sept 20th 266 call option.
So what I did was mistakenly flipped them. I meant the 266
call option for Sept but instead typed the 272 strike for Aug
(because as stated I was at first going to go with Aug).
sorry guys, that's why I hate rushed decisions at end of day as
mistakes like that can happen
Thank you so much for clarifying. I figured it was me not
knowing something that I should. I can completely understand a typo
with options, took me 15 mins to figure out how to even find
them.
not sure what you mean by but not on cell phone, you can post on
the trading community blog from your cell phone, it's a bit janky
but it works. You can't add an image though.
otherwise currently we are working on an IOS/Android app that
you can install on your phone that will allow you to do all of
these things from your phone easily, will still be some time before
that's ready though
Options here's what happened
