- When you buy back the 10 contracts, your position is closed
- and you are off the hook. Essentially, you sold 10 contracts and
- then bought them back when their price dropped.!!
- To play it safe, make sure you ask your broker to close your
- position when you place the buy order.
-
- Then, you will NOT be called no matter what happens to the stock's price.
