HeyBlazin , what kind of a price target are you looking at for your IWM play? Just looking at it in the last 2+Y, the August '22 high was ~200, the March/April high was ~210, and the Jan high was ~225. I'm guessing you're not targeting the ATH of ~243 in Nov 21...
I'll stay with it as long as the chart stays in a bullish configuration, but would be looking for at least 210

If I stressed over my trades because I sold before the peak I would have blown my brains out a long time ago. If you made money, be happy. The opposite sucks.
That being said, if you sold too early, examine the trade and see if you made a mistake and learn from it.

I will say this with 100% seriousness. Ignore every single thing you see on social media/discord in terms of "stock tips".
You are absolutely better off listening to most people in this thread. 100%. I'm not saying advice here will always work out for a win (hello to you MTTR), but the idea is that no one here is actively trying to fuck you over when they give advice. I am pretty sure every one of the swinging dicks who said gogo MTTR owned shares and sank with the rest of us.

Will fidelity automatically exercise a call a option in a sell to cover method if the account does not have the cash to support a full exercise?
Note: I am not advocating for this as opposed to flat out selling the option. I just can't find an answer anywhere on Fidelity. It just states that anything ITM by .01 will be auto-exercised

I'm not sure what you mean by sell to cover, but Fidelity will exercise all options in the money by no matter how little.

Yes, fidelity will auto-exercise any ITM option by .01 according to their website. However, what if *bought* calls are ITM and the account does not have a cash position to cover? Basically an Exercise & Sell to Cover.
Example:
I know this is a somewhat silly question, but I cannot find an answer anywhere on fidelity. Obviously I can just sell the call options and take the money and obviously I can sell a portion of the call options to provide me with the proper balance to execute the rest, but I was wondering what the default behavior would be.
Example:
- 500 Call Options for ABC @ 1.00
- Current price: 2.00
- Stock is ITM by 1.00
- Total Exercise Price = 50,000$(correct?)
- Account has: 25,000$ in cash. There is not enough liquid to fully execute. If I were to let them expire as opposed to selling them would it:
- Put me in some type of margin deficit and tell me I have X days to sell/correct it(which should be easy in our imaginary situation)
- Or would it automatically execute, costing me 50,000$ and then automatically sell 12,500 shares, amounting in 25,000$, the difference between the account balance and the cost to exercise. Leaving me with only only 37,500 shares

Billionaire Charlie Munger's Advice: 'It's A B***h, But You Gotta Do It. Find A Way To Get Your Hands On $100,000' – Why Earning Your First $100,000 Is Key If You Want To Be Rich
The significance of amassing your first $100,000 cannot be underestimated when it comes to building long-term wealth. As Charlie Munger, esteemed investor and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., aptly stated during a shareholder meeting in the late 1990s, "The first $100,000 is a b***h...

Looks like this is your answer.
Just curious if they are ITM why you would not sell them prior to expiry and make money if you lack the cash to exercise.
Edit: forgot the quote.
"If your call is exercised at expiration and you don't have enough money to covered assignment, you have incurred a freeriding violation and your account will be restricted. Some brokers will automatically close such options just before the close on the day of expiration."
Buying call options without enough money to exercise
I'm starting to dabble with options and I bought the March 20 AAPL 330 call option for $5. AAPL is currently trading around $324 today. If I sell the call option today I will make a small profit on...
