I’m 99% sure you lost easy money here.

You could have put your price at $49.50 and a market maker would immediately bought you option and executed your option for you.

My guess is you did the midpoint suggestion from Robinhood on the spread or just did a market order and hit the open bid price.

Why would you sell the option? You could have just exercised them for $49.75 each.

Unless you couldn’t acquire shares. In which case you paid $300 for each contract for someone else to immediately buy and exercise your contract on another platform.

You could have opened a fidelity account and bought sbny. Then sold your option to yourself and then exercised. Extra $300 per contract for not much work.
