Other Spread Strategies
|
||||
Money spreads represent only one class of option spreads. A complete discussion of option spread
|
||||
strategies would require a substantial extension of this section—a degree of detail beyond the scope
|
||||
of this presentation. The following are examples of some other types of spreads.
|
||||
time spread. A time spread is a spread between two calls or two puts with the same strike price,
|
||||
but a diff erent expiration date. An example of a time spread would be: long 1 August $1,300
|
||||
gold futures call/short 1 december $1,300 gold futures call. Time spreads are more complex
|
||||
than the other strategies discussed in this section, because the profi t/loss profi le at the time
|
||||
of expiration cannot be precisely predetermined, but rather must be estimated on the basis of
|
||||
theoretical valuation models.
|
||||
Diagonal spread. This is a spread between two calls or two puts that diff er in terms of both the
|
||||
strike price and the expiration date. An example of a diagonal spread would be: long 1 August
|
||||
$1,200 gold futures call/short 1 december $1,250 gold futures call. In eff ect, this type of
|
||||
spread combines the money spread and the time spread into one trade.
|
||||
butterfl y spread. This is a three-legged spread in which the options have the same expiration
|
||||
date but diff er in strike prices. A butterfl y spread using calls consists of two short calls at a given
|
||||
strike price, one long call at a higher strike price, and one long call at a lower strike price.
|
||||
The list of types of option spreads can be significantly extended, but the above examples
|
||||
should be sufficient to give the reader some idea of the potential range of complexity of spread
