This episode explains option trading assignments, focusing on managing risk. It details the process of assignment on short options positions, including how to handle margin calls and the potential for losses. We differentiate between cash-settled options (like SPX) and those requiring stock delivery (like SPY). Strategies for closing assigned positions using covered stock orders are described, emphasizing the importance of closing both legs simultaneously to maintain defined risk. Finally, we reassure viewers that assignments, while initially appearing daunting, are manageable with proper understanding.
