Re: [TheOptionClub.com] re buy back of short options

 

Are the options penn increment options? If the option actual trades in penny increments you can trade for increments less than .05. For example yesterday I bot back some Disney 32 Calls for .02.

It looks like .05 increments as that is all TOS will allow.
