If I bought a  Jan 20, 2018 USD 12.50 call option for ABC stock on Jan 10, 2018 & I bought a Jan 20 USD15 call option for ABC stock on Jan 11. On Jan 20, the stock reached $15.50, I had a profit with my Jan 20 USD12.50 call option but I had a loss for my Jan 20 USD15 call option, is the Jan 20 USD 15 call option a wash sale?   If the price of the stock in question 1 above did not reach USD 12.50 on January 20, does that mean both the loss due to the two call options on January 20 are wash sales if I purchased 100 ABC stock on Jan 5, 2018 ?
