Actually, having looked at the prices, it seems that even as of now you are out, at most, only around $200 assuming that you would have filled at 6 3/8....given the relatively small sum involved, I agree that it is not an arbitration matter - just not enough at stake -- but that doesn't mean, IMO, that it won't help you to drop the "A" word here and there - perhaps my "threaten" suggestion was a bit strong though - maybe just ask them who you should contact about an arbitration. It's not worth it to them either for a couple hundred bucks.
In the same context, IMO, threatening to leave them for another firm will make them less likely to desire to make it right. My guess is that at PW the $200 could easily represent only 2-4 commissions, which they may waive if they think they will keep you as a customer....in any event, if you don't make the trade soon, your loss becomes more and more speculative...you now know about the mistake: if you want the chance for future gains, you should still buy the calls...you can't expect to get the gain without also exposing yourself to the risk of loss...
