Finally, the computer can compute the expected return of a position already in
|
||||
place. This would give a more dynamic picture of the position, and this expected
|
||||
return is usually for a relatively short time period. That time period might be 30 days,
|
||||
or the time remaining until expiration, whichever is less. The expected return is cal
|
||||
culated in much the same manner as the expected return computation described ear
|
||||
lier in this chapter. First, one uses the stock's volatility to construct a range of prices
|
||||
over which to examine the position. Second, one uses the Black-Scholes model to
|
||||
calculate the values of the various options in the position at that future time and at
|
||||
the various stock prices. Some of the results should be displayed in table form by the
|
||||
computer program. The expected profit is computed, as described earlier, by sum
|
||||
ming the multiples of the probabilities of the stock being at each price by the result
|
||||
of the position at that price. The expected return is then computed by dividing the
|
||||
expected profit by the expected investment. Since margin computations can require
|
||||
involved computer programs, it is sufficient to omit this last step and merely observe
|
||||
the expected profit. The following example shows how a sample position might look
|
||||
as the computer displays the position itself, the ESP, the profit at expiration, and the
|
||||
expected profit in 30 days. A complex position is assumed, in order that the value of
|
||||
these analyses can be demonstrated.
|
||||
Example: The following position exists when XYZ is at 31 ¾. It is essentially a back
|
||||
spread combined with a reverse ratio write. It resembles a long straddle in that there
|
||||
is increased profit potential in either direction if the stock moves far enough by expi
|
||||
ration. Initially, the computer should display the position and the ESP.
|
||||
Position Delta ESP
|
||||
Short 4,500 XYZ 1.00 Short 4,500 shares
|
||||
Short 100 XYZ April 25 calls 0.89 Short 8, 900 shares
|
||||
Long 50 XYZ April 30 calls 0.76 Long 3,800 shares
|
||||
Long 139 XYZ July 30 calls 0.74 Long 10,286 shares
|
||||
Total ESP Long 686 shares
|
||||
Total money in position: $163,500 credit
|
||||
The advantage of using the ESP is that this fairly complex position is reduced to a sin
|
||||
gle number. The entire position is equivalent to being long 686 shares of the com
|
||||
mon stock. Essentially, this is close to delta-neutral for such a large position. The next
|
||||
item that the computer should display is the total credit or debit in the position to
|
||||
date. With this information, an expiration picture can be drawn if it is applicable. In
|
||||
this position, since there is a mixture of April and July options, a strict expiration pie-
