Steve's Autotrading Journey #6: Managing Ex-Dividend Assignment Risk

optionalpha.com - SPY goes ex-dividend tomorrow. I have a SPY short call spread that is in-the-money.
The ex-dividend date is the day a security begins trading without the value of the next dividend. To receive the upcoming dividend payment, the stock must be owned before the ex-dividend date. Short call option assignment potential increases on a stock's ex-dividend date if the dividend is more than the corresponding put option.
I'll show you how to check for dividend assignment risk and manage your options positions accordingly.
