Sorry for the off topic post, but I feel like you guys are the ones to help me understand this. It's for a call I hold.

1) How can the last price be $.15, but be up $.18 on the day? That seems impossible as a call option can't sell for -$.03

2) If the last sale matches what I bought my options for, how can I be up a couple hundred bucks?

That is your broker calculating based off the bid/ask spread

The last price is likely the last "traded" price, while the price change shown is likely based on the mid point of the bid ask spread (even if there have been no trades for the day).
