This is a really great post, thank you for sharing. Though I once had to take a FINRA exam on all of this stuff, I had completely lost track of when options are auto-assigned, what the manual exercise window is, and all of that.
The world of options is truly a minefield, and it's amazing how many folks are out there trading them without understanding how dangerous it can be!
When it comes to options on futures, like those on ES for example, the offerings alone are pretty large and it takes some work to understand what you're actually trading, based on the code. You have end-of-month, quarterly, weekly. Some are American and some are European. Some are AM-settled, some PM. Then there's the SOQ... Lots of details there.
