what happens to options after a stock split?
user
since you asked about apple, and i happen to have two positions -   this is what happened. i was long the $500, short the $600, in effect, betting apple would recover from its drop from $700 down to $450 or so. friday, my target was to hope that apple remain above $600, but not really caring how much it went over. now, post split, the magic number is $85.71. my account shows the adjusted option pricing, but doesn't yet show aapl's new price.
