What to do if put option is deep in the money?
For a put option, you would add the strike price to the underlying asset price. Deep in the money options have a very high delta level, meaning that the options will move nearly in lock-step with the underlying asset. As a call option moves deeper into the money, its delta will approach 100%.
Why would someone buy a deep in the money call?
I buy deep in-the-money calls as an alternative to the outright purchase of common stock so that I can capture the bulk of a stock’s move in a shorter time frame. True, buying at-the-money or out-of-the-money calls requires less money, but that’s the trap, because they offer less leverage.

Why sell puts in the money?
A put option is said to be in the money when the strike price is higher than the underlying security’s market price.

What happens if you buy a call in the money?

Can you lose money selling calls?

The maximum profit on a covered call strategy is limited to the strike price of the short call option, less the purchase price of the underlying stock, plus the premium received.
How does a call option make money?
A call option writer stands to make a profit if the underlying stock stays below the strike price. After writing a put option, the trader profits if the price stays above the strike price.

Do all ITM options get exercised?
After the close on expiration day, ITM options are automatically exercised or assigned, whereas OTM options are not, and typically expire worthless (often referred to as being “abandoned”).
Do ITM options expire?
Options can be in or out of the money. When an option is in the money, it can be exercised or sold. An out-of-the-money option expires worthless. Check with your broker to see how in-the-money options are handled at expiration.
What happens when my call option expires in-the-money?
If the investor owns the stock and the option, the investor’s stock will instead be sold at the agreed strike price. If a call option is in the money at expiration, the underlying asset will automatically be bought and placed in the investor’s account.
