This just tells people that you don't understand how to work with numbers.

Are you saying that YOU don't carry numbers out to 8(EIGHT) decimal places??? This is VERY important when you're guessing at a price 10 months in the future...... This poor guy would develop carpal tunnel syndrome in his hand and go blind if they took his computer away......

I am seeing such irrational numbers at my broker site in confirmation emails. What I suspect is software was changed to get an average price of volume and price by lumping some, unknown to me, time period and then dividing by the volume.

That would do it so that is my theory - guess.

your model is dumb

the expected price of a Jan08 expiration is below 77 and above 65.50

the true price is the price real people are willing to buy and sell at and not some idiot statical model of your fiat world.

Most options are either too expensive or too cheap and therefore expire worthless.
