What is a Do-Not-Exercise (DNE) Request?

A DNE request prevents the automatic exercise of ITM options. This is helpful if your account lacks sufficient buying power to support the exercise. To submit a DNE request, email support@heygotrade.com before the following times, depending on the season in the US:

  • When Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect (approximately March–November):

    Send the email before 01:00 WIB (early morning) on the expiration date.

  • When DST is not in effect (approximately November–March):

    Send the email before 02:00 WIB (early morning) on the expiration date.

If the options have value, it is generally better to sell them to capture their value rather than submitting a DNE request.
