Chapter 34: Futures and Futures Options 681
|
||||
Note that this formula is merely another version of the one previously present
|
||||
ed in this chapter.
|
||||
In the example above, neither of the options in question had moved the 30-
|
||||
point limit, which applies to soybean options as well as to soybean futures. If they
|
||||
had, they would not be useable in the formula for implying the price of the future.
|
||||
Only options that are freely trading - not limit up or down - can be used in the above
|
||||
formula.
|
||||
A more complete look at soybean futures options on the day they opened and
|
||||
stayed down the limit would reveal that some of them are not tradeable either:
|
||||
Example: Continuing the above example, August soybeans are locked limit down 30
|
||||
cents on the day. The following list shows a wider array of option prices. Any option
|
||||
that is either up or down 30 cents on the day has also reached its trading limit, and
|
||||
therefore could not be used in the process necessary to discover the implied price of
|
||||
the August futures contract.

Option Price for the Day
|

August 550 call 71 - 30
|
||||
August 575 call 48 30
|
||||
August 600 call 31 - 26
|
||||
August 625 call 19 - 21
|
||||
August 650 call 11 - 15
|
||||
August 675 call 6 - 10
|
||||
August 550 put 4 + 3
|
||||
August 575 put 9 + 6
|
||||
August 600 put 18 + 11
|
||||
August 625 put -----------31 + 16
|
||||
August 650 put 48 + 22
|
||||
August 675 put 67 + 30
|
||||
The deeply in-the-money calls, August 550's and August 575's, and the deeply in
|
||||
the-money August 675 puts are all at the trading limit. All other options are freely trad
|
||||
ing and could be used for the above computation of the August future's implied price.
|
||||
One may ask how the market-makers are able to create markets for the options
|
||||
when the future is not freely trading. They are pricing the options off cash quotes.
|
||||
Knowing the cash quote, they can imply the price of the future (613 in this case), and
|
||||
they can then make option markets as well.
