Study Notes
Options and Risk Management
- Options are a type of financial instrument used for risk management or speculation.
- There are two main types of options: call options and put options.
Call Options
- A call option gives the holder the right to buy an underlying security (e.g. stock, commodity) at a specified price (strike price) on or before a certain date.
- The holder has the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the option.
- If the market price of the underlying security is above the strike price, the option is "in the money" and the holder will exercise the option to buy the security at the lower strike price.
Put Options
- A put option gives the holder the right to sell an underlying security at a specified price (strike price) on or before a certain date.
- The holder has the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the option.
- If the market price of the underlying security is below the strike price, the option is "in the money" and the holder will exercise the option to sell the security at the higher strike price.
Options Terminology
- Strike price (X): the specified price at which the underlying security can be bought or sold.
- Underlying security (S): the security that the option is based on (e.g. stock, commodity).
- Premium: the cost of buying an option.
- Payoff: the profit or loss made from exercising an option.
Types of Options
- European options: can only be exercised on the expiration date.
- American options: can be exercised at any time before the expiration date.
Option States
- In the money: the option is profitable and will be exercised.
- Out of the money: the option is not profitable and will not be exercised.
- At the money: the option is at the same price as the underlying security.
- Deep in the money: the option is highly profitable and will likely be exercised.
- Deep out of the money: the option is highly unprofitable and will not be exercised.
Payoff and Profit
- Payoff is the profit or loss made from exercising an option, ignoring the cost of the option.
- Profit is the payoff minus the cost of the option.
Graphs and Tables
- Graphs and tables are used to visualize the payoff and profit of options under different scenarios.
- Understanding the relationships between the strike price, underlying security price, and expiration date is crucial for analyzing options.### Options Trading
- Options trading is a zero-sum game, where one player's gain is another player's loss.
- There are two types of options:
- Call option: gives the buyer the right to buy an underlying security at a specified price (strike price) on or before a certain date (expiration date).
- Put option: gives the buyer the right to sell an underlying security at a specified price (strike price) on or before a certain date (expiration date).
Payoff and Profit
- Payoff: the amount of money received or paid when an option is exercised.
- Profit: the amount of money gained or lost when an option is exercised, including the premium paid for the option.
Long and Short Positions
- Long position: the buyer of an option has the right to buy or sell an underlying security.
- Short position: the seller of an option has the obligation to sell or buy an underlying security.
- The writer (seller) of an option has a short position, and the buyer has a long position.
Graphs
- Payoff graph: shows the amount of money received or paid when an option is exercised.
- Profit graph: shows the amount of money gained or lost when an option is exercised, including the premium paid for the option.
- There are four graphs to know:
- Payoff graph for a long call option.
- Profit graph for a long call option.
- Payoff graph for a short call option.
- Profit graph for a short call option.
Call Option
- If the market price is above the strike price, the buyer will exercise the option and buy the underlying security at the strike price.
- If the market price is below the strike price, the buyer will not exercise the option.
- The payoff graph for a long call option is a straight line, with a positive slope above the strike price and a flat line below the strike price.
Put Option
- If the market price is below the strike price, the buyer will exercise the option and sell the underlying security at the strike price.
- If the market price is above the strike price, the buyer will not exercise the option.
- The payoff graph for a long put option is a straight line, with a negative slope below the strike price and a flat line above the strike price.
In-the-Money and Out-of-the-Money
- In-the-money: an option that is profitable to exercise.
- Out-of-the-money: an option that is not profitable to exercise.
- An option can be in-the-money or out-of-the-money depending on the market price and the strike price.### Options and Payoffs
- A long position gives the right to buy an underlying security at a specific price in the future.
- A short position gives the obligation to sell an underlying security at a specific price in the future.
