Weird P/L last 2 minutes


#1

My Daily Gold buy option was one minute from closing today and showing +36 when suddenly I got a posting of -30 and then -10 at close yet the option was still well ITM. It did pay out and all was well but I am curious to know if anyone else got that eratic and apparent false run down? Has this happened before?


#2

Yes, I saw that happen on some of my trades. Sometimes it corrects if you refresh the page before the strike expires.


#3

It could be from someone putting in an eratic order. I have done it before. Being on the “sell” side and putting in an advanced take profit order for 97, haha not cool.


#4

yeah if someone puts in a weird order it will be a bit off as its calculating P&L based on bid/ask - the last minute goes a bit nuts due to probabilities chanigng so rapidly with 60 seconds left - i just have my charts up and am watching if itm or not
