Options profit calculation and cash settlement
Marketwatch reports that the 108 strike call option sells for 1.45,  down 1.53 from yesterday. If we split the bid and ask you get 1.415. That is what that contract will, likely, trade at.  The biggest problems with options are commissions and liquidity. I have seen a commission as high as $45 per trade. I have also seen open interest disappear overnight. Even if you obtain contracts that become worth more than you paid for them you may find that no one wants to pay you what they are worth.  Track your trade over a few weeks to see how you would have done. It is my experience that the only people who make money on options are the brokers.
