Sold my December 2017 POST $85 strike puts for $3.10. (Schwab)
When I entered the order, the ask was $3.10 so I used that as the limit and it fill ~20 minutes later.
Would have loved to get $3.60, Weiyu. How did you do that?
Weiyu Liu
Hi, Fo,
I have my account in IB. I am seeing the bid/ask at 3.70/3.90 now. It should be just the price changes.
Fo
Well, you did real well, there.
When I entered the order, the midpoint at Schwab was 3.05. Right now the midpoint is 3.20, so it is moving around.
However, the 3.60 fill is just outstanding. IB does seem to be a champ on order execution. I’ve seen various posts on different Stock Talk discussions and trades that mention good IB fill prices.

Sold at $3.20. The puts on POST were my first options trade with you. Quick in/out with a 51% (after commissions) gain. Waiting to see what happens with PF.
Thank you

Bought at $2.20, sold at $3.18. My net gain was 44% in 16 calendar days. My first trade using PCA advice. Thanks, Linda. Find us one to ride to the sky! Hope the PF puts go parabolic.
