Stock Option Trading System

Why would a trader want to waste his time on a trade worth a penny, that would be expiring a in a few days. There is no delta to this trade – what’s the point of it?

If someone buys an option worth a penny with only a few days to expiry then most likely he/she is closing out a short position. Better be safe than sorry.
