682 Part V: Index Options and Futures
|
||||
The real value in being able to use the options when a future is locked limit up
|
||||
or limit down, of course, is to be able to hedge one's position. Simplistically, if a trad
|
||||
er came in long the August soybean futures and they were locked limit down as in
|
||||
the example above, he could use the puts and calls to effectively close out his posi
|
||||
tion.
|
||||
Example: As before, August soybeans are at 620, locked down the limit of 30 cents.
|
||||
A trader has come into this trading day long the futures and he is very worried. He
|
||||
cannot liquidate his long position, and if soybeans should open down the limit again
|
||||
tomorrow, his account will be wiped out. He can use the August options to close out
|
||||
his position.
|
||||
Recall that it has been shown that the following is true:
|
||||
Long put + Short call is equivalent to short stock.
|
||||
It is also equivalent to short futures, of course. So if this trader were to buy a
|
||||
put and short a call at the same strike, then he would have the equivalent of a short
|
||||
futures position to offset his long futures position.
|
||||
Using the following prices, which are the same as before, one can see how his
|
||||
risk is limited to the effective futures price of 613. That is, buying the put and selling
|
||||
the call is the same as selling his futures out at 613, down 37 cents on the trading day.
