rick 49 Report post Posted December 8, 2018 Because I only trade the last 2-3 hours of the day, i havnt been able to be filled at or near the SO prices on some trades plus prices of the underlyings have been moving around a lot. So I’ve been taking fills at strikes nearest to current price of the underlying at the time (often different strikes from the trade alert strikes) either on the same day as the trade alert, or next day ie choosing different strikes than the alert but at similar distance away from the price of the underlying as the original trade alert strike was. Is it OK to do it this? Are there some particular trades, like the shorter term hold earnings plays, where I should not do this eg hedged straddles or others?
