3/24/2023 (11:16 am, PT)

sell -1 March 24, 2023 $61 put at $0.16 (credit)
  • 0 DTE
  • prob ITM/assignment: 39% (high)
  • USO = $61.20

later that day . . . 

USO closed at $60.96 at 1 pm, PT, so my short put was in-the-money by exactly $0.04!

I could have TRIED to buy back my put at $0.04 to avoid assignment, but I chose not to do that.

Wed. 3/8/2023 (12:34 pm, PT)

sell -1 March 17, 2023 $60.50 put at $0.10 (credit)
  • 9 DTE
  • prob ITM/assignment:  6.18% (very low!)
  • USO = $67.12 (-0.73)


Fri. 3/17/2023 (expiration)

USO closed at $58.66

My short put ended up "in-the-money," so I got assigned 100 shares at $60.50/share


Wed. 3/22/2023

I sold my 100 shares of USO at $62.50 ($2 higher than my assignment price)

TOTAL PROFIT: $10 (put premium) + $200 (100 shares) = $210

NOTE: 
Notice that the probability of assignment for the March 17 put was only 6.18%, but I still got assigned.  In this case, the trade worked out nicely because USO rose after I got assigned.  Thus, I was able to make a nice profit in a very short time.
