Thanks for the reply. Like I stated before, this was my first option contract I had ever done. I trade thru fidelity, so it kind of guides you thru the buying part. I initially was wanting to shrot LCID, however with the amount of shares being shorted, Fidelity wanted to charge me interest to short LCID. I decided to try this option contract instead. I made money, but still am unclear on the whole closing part of it. My only options where ( sell to close, buy to open or roll). I am self taught ( thru a bunch of research) on stocks and am now trying to learn how to option trade. This is my personal account, so no big deal if I lose, I feel like it might be the price of admission at the start. I know when I first started stock trading 10 years ago, I lost for a little bit, but now am profitable every year. At any rate, I chose the sell to close option, and still don't know if I picked the right thing. I made money, but not sure if I left money on the table.
