You need to take no action to come out of this position. The long and short calls will cancel each other out, one getting exercised to meet the other. The margin will be freed up in your account on Monday, and the profit added to you cash account. Such is the wonder of in-the-money-call spreads.
This is the 17th consecutive closing position of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader?s Trade Alert Service. We have three more open positions on the books, taking us to 22. That means I only have four more successful trades until I break last summer?s record of 25 winners in a row.
Here are the expiration values of the options.
Long 22 March, 2013 (SPY) $140 calls at?????$15.83
Short 22 March, 2013 (SPY) $145 calls at..??.??.$10.83
Net Cost:????????????...???..?....$5.00
Profit: $5.00 - $4.33 = $0.67
($0.67 X 100 X 22) = $1,474 ? 1.48% for the notional $100,000 model portfolio.
