Let's say today is Jan 1st, 2020. I sell short put options for GOOG with $100 Strike expiration date is Jan31, 2020. On Jan 15, 2020, GOOG trades at $99. Will the backtesting engine assign the put options to me on Jan 15? How does this part of the engine's algorithm work?

Hey Deniz,
Any options that you write that are ITM at the time of expiration will automatically be assigned. I wrote this template you can use to see how option assignments work. In this example, a put that we wrote is exercised at expiration and we gain 100 shares of SPY at the strike price.
