What happens to COP options at expiration?

In-the-money COP options are typically auto-exercised at expiration. Out-of-the-money options expire worthless. Consider closing positions before expiration to avoid assignment risk.

What is COP's gamma exposure (GEX)?

Gamma exposure (GEX) measures how options dealers' hedging of their net gamma position can influence COP's intraday price action. GEX profile varies based on market conditions and option positioning. Dealer hedging activity can influence price behavior at key gamma levels. Positive GEX tends to dampen volatility and create mean-reverting moves, while negative GEX can amplify swings. View live COP GEX levels and the gamma-flip point on ApexVol.

What is COP's IV rank?

COP's IV rank shows where COP's current implied volatility sits within its trailing 1-year range, scored 0–100. A reading near 100 means IV is near its yearly high — options are relatively expensive, which favors premium-selling strategies like credit spreads and iron condors. A reading near 0 means IV is near its yearly low, favoring premium-buying. COP implied volatility typically ranges from 22% - 55%. Check COP's live IV rank and percentile on ApexVol's IV analytics.
