How can I early exercise options or waive my exercise rights

Generally speaking, it is less profitable to early exercise than to sell out of the position. It is usually not recommended to exercise the option early because you're forfeiting the remaining time value of the option. However, when the option is deep in-the-money, there will be very little time value left; coupled with poor liquidity, it may not be possible to close the position at a reasonable price. In such cases, investors may choose to exercise the option early. Another reason for investors to early exercise is when investors exercise the relevant call options before the ex-dividend date in order to obtain dividends from the underlying shares.

If you need to early exercise options or waive your exercise rights, please contact customer service at dealing@sg.moomoo.com, moomoo SG will proceed after confirming the investor’s intention to exercise and the purchasing power of the account required for the exercise.
