A Complete Guide to the Futures mArket
|
||||
It should be emphasized that the futures price need not necessarily reach the strike price in order
|
||||
for the out-of-the-money put to be profitable. If the market declines quickly, the put will increase in
|
||||
value, and hence can be resold at a profit. (However, this behavior will not necessarily hold for slow
|
||||
price declines, since the depressant effect of the passage of time on the option premium could well
|
||||
more than offset the supportive effect of the decreased price level of futures.)
|
||||
For small price changes, the out-of-the-money put will change by less than a factor of one-half for
|
||||
each dollar change in the futures price. Thus, for small price changes, each short futures position will
|
||||
be equivalent to several short out-of-the-money puts in terms of risk.
|
||||
Strategy 5c: Long put (In-the-Money)
|
||||
example. Buy August $1,300 gold futures put at a premium of $108.70/oz ($10,870), with August
|
||||
gold futures trading at $1,200/oz. (See Table 35.5c and Figure 35.5c.)
|
||||
Comment. In many respects, a long in-the-money put option is very similar to a short futures posi-
|
||||
tion. The three main differences between these two trading strategies are:
|
||||
1. The short futures position will gain slightly more in the event of a price decline—an amount
|
||||
equal to the time value portion of the premium paid for the option ($870 in this example).
|
||||
2. For moderate price advances, the short futures position will lose slightly less. (Once again, the
|
||||
difference will be equal to the time value portion of the premium paid for the option.)
|
||||
3. In the event of a large price advance, the loss on the in-the-money long put position would be
|
||||
limited to the total option premium paid, while the loss on the short futures position would be
|
||||
unlimited.
