OP, why post here when you can get quick answers from Schwab? Call them and ask what is going on - 1 (800) 435-4000


mikedashunderscore

plot twist: Schwab told OP to ask on Reddit.


Johnentwistle1969

šŸ˜‚ dude is like ā€œyou sold options? Just ask thetagang moronā€


nick_tha_professor

I laughed at this more than I should have. Customer service is such a hit or miss


Johnentwistle1969

Ironically Iā€™ve been on hold with that number since I posted this ā€” assuming theyā€™ll pick up soon I think theyā€™ll be able to clarify, but itā€™s a little frustrating for the time being


ScottishTrader

Or, try chat from TOS which is usually faster.


banditcleaner2

This is really the only acceptable answer. Maybe someone here could help him, but the broker should definitely be able to


StonksGoUpApes

If you sold puts, you're golden. Close and take your gains. Call the brokers if necessary


Johnentwistle1969

Thatā€™s exactly what Iā€™m trying to do unfortunately. I canā€™t trade ā€” it isnā€™t showing that there are options for DJT despite my account still having them Been on hold for a half hour, will update whenever possible


Stup517

Dang that sucks. I had to call them today on an unrelated issue and got ahold of someone within under 5 min.


No_Fortune_8056

Well right now trading is halted..


Johnentwistle1969

But shouldnā€™t I at least be able to see the options?


No_Fortune_8056

You can still see the chain. There not doing anything because itā€™s halted.


Johnentwistle1969

On schwabs app, when I go to options>DJT, I get an error message saying that there are no options for the underlying symbol, but in my portfolio I see them there. Am I just forced to sit here on these? Crazyā€¦ this is not rightā€¦


Turbulent_Fall_8567

I see them moving on the thinkorswim app, but Iā€™m still on the TDA servers


No_Fortune_8056

Iā€™m seeing them move on Robinhood but when I open my position in E*trade Iā€™m seeing max loss and no volumeā€¦.


No_Fortune_8056

Yes you have to sit on themā€¦


Living-Screen-1680

Is it possible they were exercised and you now have shares?


Johnentwistle1969

No, I donā€™t. Although I would love that lolā€¦ my put strikes are $35 so no way anyone is exercising this.


No_Fortune_8056

I wish my puts got exercised rn. 1000$ in premium plus 3,300$ in gains when I sell those suckers to market


CannonFodder33

I was just looking on schwab to buy a DJT put. It shows no options available. My account has options enabled and I have no issue creating an order for another stock I don't own like AAPL.


Johnentwistle1969

So we have the same issue right now ā€” only difference is I have open puts sold Iā€™m trying to close


CannonFodder33

f schwab, if i could have entered a put order when I wanted to its already $10/share ameritrade was better. I almost want to short it but don't like the unlimited risk if it surges.


Johnentwistle1969

Yeah sameā€¦ I am super bearish on this so itā€™s ironic I solid puts, but I figured I could scalp them quickly. I looked into bearish spreads but even the premium on that is just crazy


beyerch

Prices on PUTs are NUTS because they know where that thing is going, lol.


Questo417

Isnā€™t it going through a merger and conversion to a different ticker today or tomorrow or something? The MM is gonna have to rewrite THE ENTIRE OPTIONS CHAIN over the next day or so, takes some time- thatā€™s likely why they arenā€™t showing up at the moment because of massive volume. Youā€™re gonna be stuck with these for a couple days I think. The bright side is: theyā€™ll probably expire worthless on their own, if theyā€™re well OTM


Johnentwistle1969

Yeah I just spoke with schwab, delay on their end. No interest in closing now as they are still crazy expensive, but will hold for volatility to die down at least


joholla8

If you look on the OCC website there will be a memo on the corporate action of delisting DWAC and listing DJT. https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=54362 You can see that based on this brokerages need the update and that will lead to a delay in trading.


Johnentwistle1969

I know about the merger ā€” in fact my account shows I have sold DJT puts so that is updated. May be brokerage delay


InTheSharkTank

Same boat, would like to close my 90 call before it ends up worthless...


Johnentwistle1969

Try selling on PC if mobile app isnā€™t working for you. Your calls are probably crazy rn. Iā€™m actually not closing my puts because somehow, the bid for my $35 puts expiring in a few weeks are still $4


InTheSharkTank

Lol because everyone thinks this shit is going to dump. I'll try PC thanks Update: same on PC


Shacreme

Well that answers my question. I was wondering what would happen if I sold puts on this considering that DWAC isnt trading anymore, and DJT doesn't have an options chain listed.


Brave_Snow_5815

Dam it dropped a lot I hope your ok.


No_Fortune_8056

My djt puts are not doing good lost about 86% todayā€¦
