The option has dropped in value to a $0.50 bid to $0.60 ask. The option's value has dropped by more than half.

The account put in a buy order with Optionsxpress to cover the call and lock in a profit of over 50% of the call value in just 25% of the time involved. The order price is currently below the bid so the option has to come down a little before the order is executed. The account will have to adjust the stop loss amount to reflect the overall decrease in revenue if the trade is executed.
