Check out Doug's web site and plug in numbers and it will give you a very close prediction of the value for the calls. webindustries.com Another rough estimate would be to get the symbol for the option and plot it on the chart at askresearch. You can get a rough idea what the calls sold for in that price range by looking at the plotted prices on certain days. Example, the normal chart reading on July 10 price at XYZ vs the option chart for July 10 option XYZ price. That would get you within 1/4 point estimate. The BTGC volume should increase on the day of the drop by at least 50%. So, if you notice that the volume by noon is equal to the normal volume that would be the time to cover since the panic selling would cause those calls to drop like a rock. You really racked in some serious premies going with the Jan5s. Good for you!
