A small posiblilty but I would be out by noon Friday at the latest
-
You are deep ITM so yes you will be assigned friday for sure but you have very little theta because intrinsic value so your hope is it reverses

I like to have quotes window open but my main window for constructing trades is option trader window plus I like to have pending trades open as well
-
But like someone said earlier there are many times I get a credit for some trades making it difficult to compare apples to apples but i do believe overall I am better off commissions wise with IB than at TOS, I have an account at TOS as well and I do think my fills are better on IB.

I think I average under a 1.00 for RUT and about 1.20 for SPX
-
there are several ways to manage these trades: (1 Roll 1 short in the direction of the move when your deltas get out of hand(2.you can sell half position and open another fly giving you a double fly(3. you can roll longs up or down to manage deltas. The secret is to manage deltas. The only thing I might change would be to widen my longs out to allow yourself more room but allow more adjustments as well if it goes against you.
