Long options positions expiring in-the-money will be exercised during the last day before expiration. Long out-of-the-money options will expire worthless.
If you prefer not to exercise a long in-the-money options position, please ensure to close it prior to expiration day.
Please note that Swissquote doesn’t sell the contract for you (no auto-sell).
Exercising options is free of charge.
