When it comes to any type of options trading strategy that involves selling options (debit spreads, credit spreads, iron condors, covered calls, short puts, short strangles, etc.), there is always the concern of potentially holding these trades through expiration.

However, as I will show you in this video, in the majority of situations this is NOT worth the risk! There is actually a subtle but significant problem with holding short options through expiration that could potentially lead to substantial losses!
