Forgot to include the $30 charge for the exercise of the 1500 shares. This charge reduced profit to $765.05

What I don't understand is why only 15 of the 20 contracts were exercised. Why would someone leave the other 5 contracts on the table

Your contracts may have been split up and resold multiple times. If those 5 contracts had ended up in my account, I would have allowed them to expire worthless. In fact, I wouldnt have wanted an automatic exercise. Why take the risk that bad news comes out on Monday morning for 8 cents?
